An elder statesman and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Lagos State, Chief Lanre Razak, has taken a critical look at the performance of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu in one year and declared it a ‘success story’.
Razak made the remark, on Friday, in Lagos, in a chat with newsmen where he gave the governor’s performance in all the sectors of the economy a pass mark, saying, Governor Sanwo-Olu has convinced even all the doubting Thomases that he is a blessing to the good people of the state.
Speaking further, Lanre Razak, who is a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), was all praises for the governor on the way he handled the COVID-19 issue saying, “that also confirms that Sanwo-Olu desires maximum welfare and safety for his people.”
The latest performance of this administration, the elder statesman, continued, has confirmed that it was truly well prepared for any eventuality about the COVIC-19, pointing out that, “if not, the whole country would have been in disarray now as people would be running from pillar to pole aimlessly to seek for succour that never exists outside the government’s arrangement.”

While commending the governor and his team on how they rose up promptly to handle the treatment of the victims from the ‘Zero Victim’ of the contagious disease till now, the Epe High Chief said the people were not surprised about the way Governor Sanwo-Olu’s team swiftly rose to the challenging situation, adding, “that quality was part of what we saw in him before deciding to make him our governor because we knew from the onset that he would not be found wanting.”
The elder statesman said in other sectors like security, finance, transportation, health and others, Governor Sanwo-Olu has given the citizenry a lot to celebrate and be happy about, saying, “if we should start to enumerate them one after the other, a whole day would not be sufficient to complete the itemising.”
The elated APC stalwart also gave a pat on the back of the commissioners and other political appointees, civil servants and the people of Lagos State for their cooperation and support for the administration, stressing that, but their support and cooperation, the story could have been different.
The former Lagos State Commissioner for Public Transportation then played Oliver Twist by asking for more support for the governor with a view to enjoying more dividends of democracy, enthusing that, “with right encouragement and support, Sanwo-Olu is prepared to take the state to an enviable height of world standard.
