Hakeem Muri-Okunola Finally Speaks On Reported Guber Ambition
Hakeem Muri-Okunola, the Lagos State Head of Service has finally addressed reports that he’s interested in running for the post governor in 2023.
In short statement made available today February 6, 2022, the number one civil servant in the state insisted reports suggesting he has a gubernatorial ambition and ultimately plotting to limit Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to a single term are mere fabrications.
The statement where Mr Muri-Okunola also reiterate his support for the incumbent governor and his administration’s THEMES Agenda reads…
My attention has been drawn to several publications linking me with a fictitious race for Lagos State Governor and plots to stop Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term bid. I hereby dissociate myself from all publications and innuendoes conveying such plots. I reiterate my support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s THEMES Agenda – the six-pillar development plan that is the compass for his projects and policies.
The objective of those behind these publications is obviously to plant a seed of discord between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and me. Contrary to the statements being published by mischief makers, who are also trying to play the religion card, I am fully focused on carrying out my duties as Head of Service of the Lagos State Government and taking the Public Service to greater heights.
Hakeem Muri-Okunola
Head of Service
Lagos State
