The Babajide Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organization (BOSCO) has expressed joy and excitement at the
outpouring of love from Lagosians, particularly the torrents of endorsements from various political
and socio-economic groups across the State and several Lagosians living in the diaspora, noting that
it is a confirmation that the people of Lagos are fully in support of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s
aspiration to administer the State as Governor.
The Director of Media of BOSCO, Mr. Olusesan Daini in a statement on Thursday in Lagos, said apart
from Conference 57, which had identified the sterling qualities of Mr. Sanwo-Olu and had stood
behind him from the beginning, many other political associations and groups have come out to
declare their support for him ahead of the Saturday 29 th of September party primary elections.
‘’we have received calls from hundreds of notable politicians from across Lagos State, declaring their
love for the choice of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Some have actually written us letters to pledge their
support and to endorse our man’’ Daini said.
‘’just yesterday, the PSP operators in Lagos issued a statement to applaud the choice of Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, whom many have described as a great administrator, a listening leader and a man of
character’’.
Some other endorsements for Mr. Sanwo-Olu include The Consolidation Group (TCG), with the
entire Amuwo Odofin chapter of the All Progressives Congress, Badagry chapter of the APC as well as
several notable individuals in the party.
Speaking on the revised time table for the primaries, Daini said although the BOSCO is ready for the
election, the shift by three days will give the campaign committee an opportunity to further reach as
many party members as possible.
‘’we need thousands of our members to come out en-masse to vote for Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on
Saturday 29 th of September, 2018. We need to show that our strength as a political movement is in
our numbers as we are working round the clock to ensure that we record a huge turnout of party
faithful on the day of the primary election’’.
Daini also dismissed the insinuation in some quarters of the social media that the Conference 57’s
support for Sanwo-Olu is for economic reasons saying that those spreading such falsehood are either
bereft of knowledge of Lagos politics or are only out for mischief. He said Conference 57’s
endorsement and support for Mr. Sanwo-Olu is borne out of the group’s desire to take Lagos to a
greater height.
‘’We are reading all sorts of lies, distortions of facts and some falsehood posts on social media aimed
at disparaging our movement and our leader. But we have decided not to respond to them because
most of the posts are without authors. Rather than dissipate energy on all that, we have
concentrated work on mobilizing our base and preparing everyone for the election’’, Daini said.
Some party leaders who have openly identified with Mr. Sanwo-Olu include former Minister and
notable politicians, Mr. Ademola Seriki, Senator Gbenga Ashafa (Lagos East Senatorial District),
former House of Representatives member Mr. Monsuru Owolabi (Bertola), and several current
House of Representatives members; former Hon. Commissioner in the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
administration, Mr. Wale Edun, frontline politician Mr. Shakirudeen Sola Giwa, Cardinal Odumbaku
(Baba Eto) among others.
