Stephen Adegbite, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Lagos chapter, has expressed support for Babajide Sanwo-Olu to continue as the state governor in 2023.

Speaking on Saturday at the 2022 CAN inter-denominational prayer service held at the Apostolic Church of God headquarters, Lagos, Adegbite said the governor has performed well in improving the lives of the people of the state.

“We thank God we have a child of God as our governor,” he said.

“His pedigree as a Christian brought-up has continually shown in his devotion to service to mankind in different strata of the society even in difficult times.

“For us to thank him for his good work in this first tenure is to rally around him and re-elect him for a second tenure in order for him to complete many of his people-oriented projects in varying stages of completion.

“As the voice of the Christian fold in the state CAN cannot associate itself with that which cannot be of benefit to the common good.

“CAN, therefore, has resolved to embark on voter registration and sensitisation drive across the state to bring the project Sanwo-Olu 2023 to fruition.”

In his remark, Sanwo-Olu said his government will continue to create an atmosphere that would allow businesses to thrive.

He said the state is in the business of transforming lives through improved infrastructure.

“Our impact is being felt in the education system where many classroom blocks are being constructed across the state with constant recruitment of qualified teaching staff to aid in the smooth return of our teeming out-of-school children back to school,” he said.

“Our state WAEC result profile has improved from 38% to 78%.

“Improved farming system is one of the key areas the state is prioritising to boost food production in the state.

“Presently, 14 housing estates are in different stages of completion across the state all in our drive to improve the lives of our citizens.”

The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving healthcare in the state.
