Sanwoolu 

By Akinola Ajibade


Barely four days to the March 18th Governorship and House of Assemblies Election, the Houston Chapter of All Progressive Congress ( APC) in the United States, has thrown its weight behind  the incumbent, Governor Babatunde Sanwoolu. 
According to its Chairman,Dr. Emmanuel Abiodun Dada, the electorate in Lagos has seen the achievements of the governor and as a result, need to return to  return him for second term in order to able to  deliver on his political promises of rebuilding Lagos. 
Dada, also the Founder of Renew Our Hope, a USA-based not-for-profit organization, at media parley in Lagos, reminded residents that it is risky to hand over the biggest economy in Nigeria to those without knowledge of historical growth of the state. 
He raised concerns about the future of the youths in the state, adding that the only way the youths can achieve their aspirations is to support the reelection of the able, tested, and impressive Governor Sanwo-Olu, who is willing to defend their heritage and continuity of progressive governance. 
“We are all here today that going forward, you should mobilize your friends, neighbors, and all the youths within your reach to go out on Saturday, March 18th and use their PVCs to vote en-mass for Gov. Sanwo-Olu and turn the tide favourably towards progressive APC to revise the outcome of the February 25, 2023, presidential election and win a big one for Gov. Sanwo-Olu and all the APC candidates for the State House of Assembly positions. 
Adding that: “Overall, there is an urgent need for our collective actions to prevent the fall of Lagos State into the hands of untested, incompetent, and inexperienced party.” he said.
He noted that the APC may not be a perfect political party but the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), will be an excellent president that will put Nigerian youth’s interest and gainful employment as one of his priorities in governing Nigeria vis-à-vis similar goals of Governor Sanwo-Olu for his second term when elected. 
He urged residents in the state to vote massively on Saturday for Governor Sanwoolu and lawmakers in order to strengthen the party base in the state and the country in particular.
Continuing further, Dada advised the youths in the state to remember that the Asiwaju has heard their cry and that he is ready to comfort them by providing them amenities, which would provide them succour. 
Recall that the Governor created 100,000 jobs for youth within first year through an expanded public works, landscaping, traffic management, waste management, community policing and volunteering services.
This coupled with the fact he  created opportunities for interning, shadowing and working in public service to increase youth participation in governance and set out matching fund for contractors in critical infrastructure sectors to train potential new hires on relevant skills within their operating environments.
Dada, also said he developed new opportunities for talented youths in Sports, Culture and Entertainment by increasing and enhancing recreational and cultural spaces in 57 LCDAs
Expand LSETF to provide low-interest loans targeting 20,000 youth owned enterprises to grow their businesses and create 200,000 jobs by 2022
support the establishment of at least 1 business incubator, accelerator or makerspace for the youth in all 57 LCDAs in partnership with the private sector and development partners.
