2023: Lagos HoS, Muri-Okunola, Speaks On Governorship Ambition, Anti-Sanwo-Olu Plot
The Lagos State Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, has denied speculation that he may contest the 2023 governorship election against the incumbent governor of the State, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, Worldtopnewsng reports.
He reiterated his support for Governor Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s THEMES Agenda.
Muri-Okunola in a statement sighted by Worldtopnewsng said the aim of those behind these publications is to cause fissure between him and the governor.
The full statement below:
My attention has been drawn to several publications linking me with a fictitious race for Lagos State Governor and plots to stop Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term bid.
I hereby dissociate myself from all publications and innuendoes conveying such plots.
I reiterate my support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s THEMES Agenda – the six-pillar development plan that is the compass for his projects and policies.
The objective of those behind these publications is obviously to plant a seed of discord between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and me.
Contrary to the statements being published by mischief makers, who are also trying to play the religion card, I’m fully focused on carrying out my duties as Head of Service of the Lagos State Government and taking the Public Service to greater heights.
Hakeem Muri-Okunola
Head of Service
Lagos State
