Therein is the united voice of Lagos State, saying resoundingly, ‘We stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We stand with his Renewed Hope Agenda. We believe in the Nigeria he is building. Yes, we believe!’

“The transformation President Tinubu has begun must not be abandoned midstream. The seeds planted with such courage, boldness and foresight are only just beginning to bear fruit.

“I call upon every Lagosian — every trader in Balogun, every tech entrepreneur in Yaba, every farmer in Epe, every fisherman in Badagry, every banker on the Island, every teacher in Ikorodu, every mother in Alimosho, every father in Mushin, and every student in Surulere — to join me in celebrating our dear President and renewing our commitment to the journey of national rebirth he has so courageously embarked upon.’’
