Support for the APC candidate in the ongoing race for the governorship of Lagos State has received a boost with an endorsement from a group named Team-30.
The group is an exclusive body of businessmen and contractors committed to the survival of good governance and rapid development of the state.
The acronym, TEAM-30, is descriptive of a voluntary association of top contractors and employers of labour in Lagos State who created the group to add momentum to Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s campaign ahead of other candidates.
The group came up with its position after a careful study of the political environment and scrutiny of the profile and agenda of candidates from all contending parties.
The open declaration of support for the APC candidate was timed to coincide with the after-effect of the mega rally to usher in the final push of the party for support from Lagosians.
The group’s philosophy is driven by the desire to sustain the enviable development trajectory that Lagos State has enjoyed since 1999. At the same time, the group believes that Sanwo-Olu’s experience in public service and his level-headedness are invaluable prerequisites for handling the intrigues of governing a cosmopolitan mega city like Lagos.
The group also applauded the colossal contributions of outgoing Governor Ambode, to the improvement of infrastructure and human conditions in Lagos State.
The group noted that Ambode displayed exceptional commitments to the development of the state as Nigeria’s economic flagship and center of excellence.
It has also pledged extensive material and human support for the APC candidate in the run-up to the polls.
According to the spokesman of the group, Alhaji Bolaji Lawal, members have been charged to draw from various spheres of influence across the socio-economic spectrum of the state to ensure the progressive legacy of development in the state is preserved through the election of Sanwo-Olu.
