Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has praised President Bola Tinubu as a lifelong democrat committed to bolstering Nigeria's democratic foundations. During the seventh annual lecture of Freedom Online in Ikeja, Sanwo-Olu affirmed Tinubu's resolve to hand over a stronger democracy than the one he inherited, both for Nigerians and as a model for Africa.
The governor highlighted the recent Osun governorship election, where Ademola Adeleke, of a different political party, defeated the APC candidate by over 60,000 votes, as evidence of Tinubu's commitment to democratic principles. Sanwo-Olu stated, "There was a time in this country when ‘federal might’ was a phrase that a ruling party used without irony."
He emphasized Tinubu's dedication to reinforcing Nigeria's democratic institutions, saying, "This President is a lifelong democrat, and he means to leave behind a stronger democracy than he inherited, not only for Nigerians but as an example to a continent that badly needs one."
