Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says his intentions and actions will speak for him despite the fact that he has been misunderstood and vilified since assuming office in 2019.
Mr Sanwo-Olu stated this on Friday in a post on Instagram to celebrate his 56th birthday.
The governor shared photos of himself dancing, flanked by his deputy Obafemi Hamzat and others. In one of the photos, he posed for a selfie with Lagosians.
“Another 25th of June has come to remind me of my life’s purpose and God’s ultimate plans. I have embraced a life of service, and a heart of compassion and empathy,” Sanwo-Olu said.
“Have I been misunderstood? Yes. Have I been vilified? Absolutely. Have I been misquoted? Severally. But through it all, my heart, my intentions, my conscience, my efforts, my actions, the works of my hands, and the grace of God will always speak for me.
“Therefore, I will rejoice and be glad, for this is indeed the day that the Lord has made.”
Quoting Philippians 4:4-7, he said, “For the gift of life, I say thank you Lord. For sound health and mind, I am indeed thankful.
“For Family, Friends, Associates, Colleagues, and Lagos state as a whole, I say thank you Lord. I am indeed the one who came back to say thank you Lord.”
