Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has voiced strong support for President Bola Tinubu’s quest for a second term in the 2027 general elections.

Sanwo-Olu’s endorsement comes amid increasing defections from opposition parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking during the 2025 Workers’ Day celebration at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos, Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized the importance of Tinubu’s leadership and reforms, especially for workers’ welfare.

“The President’s reforms are beginning to bear fruits, given the growth we have witnessed in the agricultural sector which has led to a reduction in food prices,” Sanwo-Olu said.

He urged workers to “be patient with the reforms being implemented by the Federal Government” and called for renewed solidarity:

“Let us celebrate not only with songs and salutes, but with a renewed spirit of solidarity. Let us recommit to building a country where every hand finds purpose and every labour finds reward.”

Sanwo-Olu also highlighted Lagos State’s commitment to workers, noting, “Improving workers’ welfare has continued to be the cornerstone of my government’s development agenda,” and assured that “regular and timely payment of salaries and pensions” remains a priority despite economic challenges.

Through his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Sanwo-Olu congratulated President Tinubu on the second anniversary of his administration, describing him as a “true democrat and committed nationalist.”

He stated, “Two years ago, Nigerians entrusted you with a mandate rooted in hope, vision, and the promise of renewal. Since then, you have embraced the demands of office with courage and determination, making difficult but necessary decisions in the interest of long-term national development.”

Sanwo-Olu concluded: “As governor of Lagos State, I stand in full support of your vision and remain committed to working together for the good of all Nigerians. Congratulations once again, Mr. President. May the journey ahead be even more impactful.”
