Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has described President Bola Tinubu as a lifelong democrat committed to strengthening Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

Speaking on Thursday at the seventh annual lecture of Freedom Online in Ikeja, Lagos, the governor said Tinubu was determined to leave behind a stronger democracy than he inherited, both for Nigerians and as an example to Africa.

As reported by PM News, Sanwo-Olu made the remarks on Thursday at the seventh annual lecture organised by Freedom Online at the Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, where he spoke on Nigeria’s democratic development and preparations for the 2027 elections.

He cited the August 15 Osun governorship election, which was won by Governor Ademola Adeleke of another political party, as an indication of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to democratic principles.
