Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos


Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor-elect of Lagos state has been charged to ensure the completion of ongoing projects in Lagos State which Akinwunmi Ambode, the outgoing governor may not complete because of time.

Giving the advice in Lagos in a chat with Sunday INDEPENDENT, Prof. Itse Sagay SAN, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) also advised that Sanwo-Olu should not embark on new projects until he has completed all the current projects being undertaken by the Ambode administration.

He also asked Sanwo-Olu to emulate President Muhammadu Buhari who has commissioned majority of the projects left behind by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.


He said, “My advice to the governor-elect of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu is that he should complete all on-going projects in Lagos state, just like what the federal government is doing now by completing the projects that were not finished by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

“You don’t leave uncompleted projects and go and start new ones. Sanwo-Olu should complete any project that Ambode, the outgoing governor has started because at the end of the day, government is a continuum.”

Sagay who said Ambode erred by abandoning some good projects left behind by his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola such as the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (Lagos HOMS) project and the Railway project urged Sanwo-Olu not to toe the same path.


What Ambode did about the Lagos HOMS project that he abandoned will not speak well for him when the history of Lagos is written because a lot of Lagosians need accommodation in the state now and you can see the buildings wasting away without being completed. To resuscitate them in future will cost a lot of money.

“You can even see that the Lagos Metroline has slowed down. Nobody is working there. Since Babatunde Fashola left, there is hardly any construction going on and this is something that will have a fantastic and positive impact on Lagos because people can now drop their cars from Badagry areas right to the centre of Lagos.

“When they are done, they can take a ride back; pick up their cars at the rail station and go. This is how it operates in civilised countries. So, what he did by not completing the Lagos HOMS project is wrong but nevertheless, I will not want Sanwo-Olu to do the same thing on projects that Ambode is unable to complete,” stated Sagay.

He continued, “I don’t believe in that kind of politics because your achievements will be undermined if you abandoned projects which your predecessors couldn’t complete. I will advise Sanwo-Olu to complete the ones that Ambode couldn’t complete. In fact, he shouldn’t start new ones until he completes the existing ones.”

this should be the legacy by every govt. but nigerians have this problem of misinformation.
they might go ahead and start claiming sanwo did nothing when in reality he's completing previous projects..
there's no point abandoning state project irrespective of govt in power..
we should learn that..

Of course he will. He won't do the same mistake Ambode made.

Hope he listens

And don't destroy what he did like what ambode did to fashola....... just upgrade all.

Hope he will because they are only after the project that mandate group would give.It would be very difficult for him to complete them but still very possible.

Yes. And to incentivise the new governors we label state projects with 'Started by' and 'Completed by'.

Sanwo Olu would be worse than Ambode

He would destroy houses and render many homeless.
He would not continue Ambode signature projects.
He would ban Okada.
He would not fund most uncompleted flyover projects.
He would return to Fashola's signature projects.
He would abandon Oshodi project.
He would abandon Ikeja Terminal Station.
He would abandon most housing projects.
He would make life miserable to most 'Auslanders' to impress.
He would not go second term.

Igbo are dreamers!

Sanwo Olu would be worse than Ambode

Think home brother, think Igboland.

Ha ha...

God bless you. This was Ambos greatest undoing. He tried to tear down BRFs achievement while trying to build his own legacy. Very shortsighted of him but he really tried and Agbado, Epe, and Agege and Aradagun people of Badagry will never ever forget him for modernizing their region. May God bless Ambo the next minister for works and housing.

Unlike one mad man who spent eight years only fixing his town and village in Abeokuta.

What makes you think so

Ambode erred by abandoning some good projects left behind by his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola such as the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (Lagos HOMS) project and the Railway project

“You can even see that the Lagos Metroline has slowed down. Nobody is working there. Since Babatunde Fashola left, there is hardly any construction going on and this is something that will have a fantastic and positive impact on Lagos because people can now drop their cars from Badagry areas right to the centre of Lagos.

“When they are done, they can take a ride back; pick up their cars at the rail station and go. This is how it operates in civilised countries. So, what he did by not completing the Lagos HOMS project is wrong.


Shey you guys now see how and why a lot of Lagosians revolted against Ambode, it wasn't just about God father factor, but alot of nonresidents and uniformed people were casting bitter aspersions all because of the hate they have for one man they envy

Lagosians were simply tired of the gross ineptitude, and pride of the Governor they gave their mandate to. Ambode is very pompous, don't be deceived by his cunning smiles.

Ambode no try

If. Ambode had invested the $70million spent Oshodi Interchange and all money spent on world-class buss stops and jetty was used to complete lagos light rail system, he would had made a smarter investment in metrol rail, tram cars and more BRT as oppose to his new his proposed 18 seater Brazilian busses

Ambode is to futuristic to govern right now, he can comeback after fashola's critical infrastructure are completed by sanwo-olu

This is why Ambode was not returned, you don't abandon the project path of your predecessor when you know they are part of the bigger picture set by the party on which you subscribe to while accepting the offer of becoming the governor.

He make the matter worse by destroying some legacy.

...trust apc to compete previous projects....and when dey do u start hearing garbage lyk....it is gej project.......insane folks

u think is Ikpeazu u are talking to abi? this is sanwo-eko, not the kerosene distributor. losers

Words of wisdom. But also and most importantly embark on your own projects. PMB vision he no do nothing for 6 months. Lets have the Sanwo mark in Lagos no copy PMB e jo Sir. Copy Fashola so te when Tinubu wanted to Ambode style him ko work. If you copy PMB you are on your own . Rigging wont even save you. Your deputy and plenty are watching you

This king dey rub powder abi

That Ambode guy is too vindictive. He spent a large part of his four years fighting Fashola and destroying his legacies
