Tinubu a lifelong democrat, says Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has praised President Bola Tinubu as a lifelong democrat who is committed to strengthening Nigeria's democratic institutions. Speaking at the seventh annual Freedom Online lecture in Ikeja, Sanwo-Olu highlighted Tinubu's determination to leave behind a stronger democracy and his support for democratic principles, as demonstrated by the Osun governorship election where the APC candidate lost to the opposition party.

The governor also commended electoral reforms and technology use but stressed the need for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be fully prepared for the 2027 elections, warning against violence and electoral malpractice.
