Governor Sanwo Olu

By BOLA BADMUS, Lagos
Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday said that South-West leaders are working behind the scenes to ensure the release of Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Sunday Igboho.
It would be recalled that Igboho was arrested in Cotonou, the capital of Benin Republic last Monday, while he was about to board a plane to Germany, and is currently facing trial in Benin Court over extradition to Nigeria.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the remark while answering questions from newsmen shortly after casting his vote at Ikoyi polling unit, during the local government elections into 20 Local Governments (LGs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.
The governor, who spoke, while responding to a question regarding what the South-West governors and leaders were doing to ensure the release of Igboho, Sanwo-Olu, said he was aware prominent people of the region were working behind the scenes for his release notwithstanding the difficult time prevailing at the moment.
He, however, said the governors would not be able to come to the public to announce what they were doing on Igboho’s matter.
“These are very difficult times for all of us. I can assure you that people are working behind the scenes.
“At occasions like this, it’s not by how many Press people you call,” Sanwo-Olu said. (Saturday Tribune)
