The Christian Association of Nigeria,(CAN) Lagos State Chapter has endorsed the candidacy of the incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat for a second term.
The CAN Chairman, Lagos State, Bishop Stephen Adegbite announced this on Tuesday at a press brief meeting held at the Chapel of Light, Alausa, Lagos. The event had the five blocks of CAN represented.
Adegbite said that it is important to make it abundantly clear that the Christian community in Lagos, led by leaders including himself, demanded a Christian governor, and by divine providence and the listening ears of party leaders, the present governor emerged. He added that the current endorsement is based primarily on one thing; performance and nothing else.
He said: “Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s achievement in the critical sectors of the economy of the state is endearing, and we are convinced that it needs to be sustained.
