Foremost lawyer and activist Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN) has accused Governor Babajide Sanwoolu of Lagos State of abandoning governance and preoccupying himself with the presidential aspiration of his political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 ballot.
“Since the declaration of the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Babajide Sanwoolu has abandoned governance in Lagos State.
“He is the unofficial campaign manager of Tinubu, his media strategist and personal anchorman. The Governor has hardly been in office,” Adegboruwa (SAN) lamented in a statement he made available to News Express on Saturday morning, June 11, 2022.
“It was the Governor that declared the ban on motorbikes but he is not on ground to monitor the daily crisis occasioned by the declaration, though commendable but needs careful enforcement.
“The rainy season in Lagos is always a bitter experience for Lagosians in flooding, heavy traffic and other casualties, but the Governor has not been on his seat to address issues related to this. Crime has been on the increase in Lagos lately,” Adegboruwa lamented.
He noted that “no doubt state resources will be involved in these campaign activities and most government officials will cash in on the absence of the Governor to also abandon their responsibilities, either to pursue their political other business interests. There are many more grave consequences attendant upon the decision of the Governor to abdicate his constitutional responsibilities in pursuit of the political ambition of the APC presidential flag bearer.”
The radical lawyer appealed to “Governor Sanwoolu to return to Lagos and assume his constitutional responsibilities of functional governance” as “His Excellency was not elected as Campaign Manager of politicians but as an administrator.”
