The apex decision making body of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos State, Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) on Monday gave the state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu the green light to contest for a second term in office.

The body has also granted the Governor nod to seek re-election to continue his “amazing work towards the greater Lagos project.”

A former Governor of the State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode was denied a second term ticket in 2019.

It was the denial of Ambode that paved way for Sanwo-Olu to contest in 2019 which he eventually won.

The GAC, according to a statement by Sanwo-Olu’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Gboyega Akosile, “gave pass mark to Sanwo-Olu for staying through to the developmental agenda of Lagos.”

“This was a major outcome of the GAC meeting in Lagos today,” he said.
