Tope AbdurRazaq Balogun, the gubernatorial candidate for the Action Alliance (AA), congratulated Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the incumbent governor and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on winning the state's 2023 governorship election.
In a statement he personally signed and sent to Vanguard on Saturday, Balogun thanked the governor.
The declaration states,
“Congratulatory Message to His Excellency, Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu. I am filled with a sense of gratitude as I use this opportunity to express my appreciation to God Almighty for the privilege to be part of the electioneering process from start to finish.
“From the conception of the Lagos REBIRTH Agenda with my team, to the various stages of the campaign and finally the election, it was an arduous journey that has been both challenging and enlightening.
“As the incumbent Governor is set to emerge victorious with the highest number of valid votes cast, I send my heartfelt congratulations in advance to His Excellency Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.”
Remember that Alhaji Nureni Ayinla-Oniru, the Chairman of the Action Alliance in Lagos, previously denied rumors that Balogun had resigned in favor of Sanwo-Olu.
The AA candidate further said, “I am also grateful to my wife, children, parents, friends, advisors, mentors, party leaders, campaign organisation, and support groups for their unwavering support throughout the tough journey.
“As we look to the future, I assure everyone that we will continue to engage the public and government with our innovative ideas aimed at advancing societal reengineering to build a better Lagos State.
“Once again, congratulations to Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat as well as their team for their superior strategy to win the contest,” the statement said.
