#electionresults2023: Sanwo-Olu Finally Addresses Lagosians

Following reports on violence in some parts of Lagos State, Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu has urged residents to remain calm.  

It was earlier reported Lagosians in some parts of the state resorted to violence after the Labour Party (LP)

In a statement issued by Sanwo-Olu's side Jubril Gawat on Monday, the Governor urged members of the state to avoid violence which he claimed is not part of the state's culture.

He further encouraged the people to remain calm, noting that Law enforcement agencies have been deployed to avoid the breakdown of law and order.

Governor Sanwo-Olu also warned against discrimination, urging the people to promote harmony.

"We have got reports of friction in some parts of Lagos this morning. All is calm now.
 
"There is no need for violence, which is not part of our culture. 

"I urge all Lagosians to go about their businesses without any fear of harassment. 

"Law enforcement agencies have been asked to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and order in any part of the state.

"I have been your Governor for almost four years, promoting harmony and friendship across ethnic and religious lines without any form of discrimination whatsoever.

"Let us remain calm. All will be well. 

"We are a peaceful people and so we shall remain," the statement read.
