Hakeem Muri-Okunola Downs Guber Ambition, Pledges Support To Sanwo-Olu

Hakeem Muri-Okunola, the Lagos State Head of Service has finally spoken on his much-touted gubernatorial ambition.

The 50year old grabbing headlines here and there over touted moves to become the next Governor of Lagos State released a short statement – sourced by societyNow.Ng from the Facebook wall of Ovation Editor Michael Effiong – that reads…

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 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 am 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.
