Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike said Tuesday his Lagos State counterpart Babajide Sanwo-Olu deserves a second term in office.
This was a clear indication he would not support the Peoples Democratic Party candidate Olajide Adediran a.k.a Jandor who is running alongside actress Funke Akindele. It is believed that Wike’s action may be connected to Jandor’s support for Abubakar Atitu who is the PDP presidential candidate.
Wike made the announcement at the 22nd National Women’s Conference, with the theme: ”Spring Forth, Stand Out”, organised by the Committee Of Wives Of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) in Lagos.
He said that Sanwo-Olu’s performance had earned him a second term, commending the governor for giving women the opportunity to serve in various capacities in the state.
”If you are not in my party and you are doing well, I will support you. If you are in my party and you are not doing well, I will not support you. That is what I stand for,” the Rivers governor said.
According to him, by the grace of God, Sanwo-Olu will be a second term governor, as Lagos state has continued to make progress in his administration.”
