Lagos State Governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has received his certificate of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a ceremony at the commission’s office in Sabo, Yaba on Friday, the Deputy Governor-elect, Obafemi Hamzat, also received his.
Mr Sanwo-Olu, on collecting his certificate of return, assured Lagosians that he would work to fulfill his campaign promises.
“We are taking up this leadership and saying that the confidence that you have put in us will not be put to shame. We will not misuse the confidence that you have put in us,” Sanwo-Olu said.
He also called on the 44 candidates who contested for the governorship seat to join him in rebuilding Lagos.
“I want to extend congratulations to all the other 44 candidates that were not so successful, but I dare say that victory to one is victory to all.
“That is why on the campaign train, we said we are going to run an inclusive government, we will bring about strategies that will take Lagos to greater heights.
“Let us build the schools, the hospitals, traffic management, the public transportation, the environment to make Lagos a cynosure of the entire African race.
“It is not about Femi and I, it is not about my own family, it is about reenacting and recharging a true Lagos that all of us have stood for.
“We are using this opportunity to tell our colleagues in other parties the doors are open, that we are one and the same,” he said.
