Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has noted that the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria will be of immense benefits to Lagos State.

He pointed out that since Tinubu was a former governor of the state, he knew its needs and challenges.

Sanwo-Olu was speaking recently at a High-Level US-Nigeria Council for Food Security, Trade and Investment (UNSC) event on the sidelines of the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings in Washington DC, United States.

He also revealed that the state has benefited tremendously in the past eight years in its alignment with the nation's ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking on the May 29 swearing-in of the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Governor Sanwo-Olu said: “We have a new President-Elect who will be sworn in on May 29: Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Governor of Lagos State, between 1999 and 2007. 

"For me personally, it means a lot, my first public sector job was in the Lagos State Government when he was Governor, and also the fact that we will have a President who, having governed Lagos, has a very personal understanding of its needs and challenges.

“Lagos will continue to be in alignment with the ruling party at the center, which we have enjoyed for the last eight years, and which has been transformational for us in various ways.”
