In honor of President Bola Tinubu’s 74th birthday, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, surprised Lagos people on Sunday by giving them 20,000 food packs and a personalized note.
During a symbolic event on Sunday at the De Blue Roof Event Center in Agidingbi and other parts of Lagos, the food bags were given to various groups and individuals throughout Lagos State.
Top government officials, including Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, the Lagos State Commissioner of Information and Strategy, and Dr. Tajudeen Afolabi, the Special Advisor for Political, Legislative, and Civic Engagement, attended the event. To commemorate President Bola Tinubu’s 74th birthday, a large number of women, young people, heads of various organizations, and political and community leaders participated.
Additionally, the food boxes were given out to Muslims and Christians at the Central Mosque and Chapel of Christ the Light in Alausa. Additionally, thousands of Lagos residents were given access to it at various locations throughout the State’s twenty Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).
In an Open Letter to Lagos citizens read at the delivery of the gifts, Governor Sanwo-Olu urged all Lagos State citizens to join him in honoring President Tinubu’s life and outstanding accomplishments, calling him a “remarkable leader.”
Mr. Segun Fayemi, the CDC Chairman of Ojodu LCDA, read an open letter wishing President Tinubu many more years to achieve greater glory for himself and our dear country, Nigeria.
“My dear people, as you receive this gift box, know that its contents are more than a token of celebration,” he stated. “We stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” says the unified voice of Lagos State. His Renewed Hope Agenda is something we support. The Nigeria he is constructing has our faith. Indeed, we have faith!
Together, we have withstood the hardships of the reforms, and now we are starting to enjoy the benefits of our perseverance. We’ve passed the worst and are looking forward to the best. Let’s approach 2027 with excitement, conviction, and confidence.
“President Tinubu’s transformation must not be stopped in its tracks. The seeds planted with such courage, boldness and foresight are only just beginning to bear fruit.
“I invite all Lagosians, including traders in Balogun, tech entrepreneurs in Yaba, farmers in Epe, fishermen in Badagry, bankers on the island, teachers in Ikorodu, mothers in Alimosho, fathers in Mushin, and students in Surulere, to join me in honoring our beloved President and reaffirming our dedication to the journey of national rebirth he has so bravely undertaken.
“May the Almighty provide His Excellency many more years of exceptional health, fortitude, discernment, and unending grace to continue guiding our wonderful country to its fated glory. I hope he gets the same happiness on his birthday that his leadership has given millions of Nigerians, who now dare to think that a better, wealthier, and more cohesive Nigeria is developing right in front of our eyes.
Governor Sanwo-Olu also commended President Tinubu’s contribution to the growth and development of Lagos State during his tenure as the first Governor of Lagos State in the present Fourth Republic.
“As your governor, I have had the privilege of building upon the legacy President Tinubu created as Lagos State’s governor from 1999 to 2007,” he declared. With a GDP of roughly $259 billion, Lagos is currently Africa’s second-largest metropolis economy thanks to his innovative leadership.
The Greater Lagos Rising Agenda is based on the institutions he established, the revenue architecture he invented, and the culture of excellence he fostered. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s untiring hands and fertile mind developed Lagos as it is today.
