Has Sanwo Olu Been Able To Recover From His Drug Abuse Problem? by MrPristine: 9:20am On Aug 15, 2022

In the run up to the 2019 elections, the then governor of Lagos state Ambode accused Babajide Sanwo Olu who was being positioned to be the next stooge of Bola Tinubu in Alausa of having a criminal record for spending counterfeit money in America. He further revealed that Sanwo olu had been battling with drug abuse and that he had to be rehabilitated at the Gbagada general hospital. Till date neither one of these allegations has been refuted and we are rest assured that they are factual because it came from a credible source who had access to Sanwo Olu's records given his position at the time.

Given the mental health issues Sanwo olu has been battling with as a result of drug abuse, one is tempted to think that this is what is responsible for his poor performance as governor in the past three years otherwise why will a governor connive with the military to kill youths that he is supposed to protect just because they were having a peaceful protest at the lekki toll gate? Why will he ban well structured bike hailing services that can even generate taxes for the state like Gokada, Maxikada said O'ride while leaving the unruly and reckless freelance okada riders to continue wrecking havoc in the state?

Why will he continue to empower touts and agberos to extort Lagos commuters and make life unbearable for Lagosians while ignoring the other street urchins who routinely rob people in traffic?

His criminal conviction for trading in counterfeit currency also reveals the content of his character and perhaps explains why Bola Tinubu who is reputed to be the most corrupt politician in Nigeria felt comfortable appointing him as his stooge in Alausa and this is the reason why the unrestrained looting of Lagos state revenues continue to this day.

Under Sanwo Olu's watch, various reports indicate that at least 50% of the revenues meant for the state are stolen through various means like the dubious use of tax consultants to replicate the job of LIRS and being paid huge commissions for adding zero value. This is apart from the fact that at least 30% of the taxes generated in Lagos are not even declared but stolen at source.

Lagos is definitely the richest state in the country but the truth is that Lagos state can be doing at least five times better if only we have good governance. Lagos desperately needs a breath of fresh air and an end to the twenty four years dynasty of institutionalized corruption and mediocre governance in the state and this can't be achieved with someone who is just a stooge for a criminal godfather and who also has mental health challenges.

We can all see the mannerless ways Sanwo Olu has mismanaged Lagos state. I even heard he's one of Tinubu's presidential PA while Lagos state indigenes lament over insecurity, bad roads, air / noise pollution causes by the Jagabandits Agberos. Jandor is the breathe of the FRESH air we all need.

Sanwo olu was probably one of Tinubu's favorite customers when he was still in the drug trade in Chicago, this explains the connection between them grin grin grin

Rightly put.
No wonder he is said to be Constructing a 1500 bed MENTAL HOSPITAL in Gbagada cheesy grin . In case of necessity , he can run there for coded assistance embarassed

I have observed that Tinubu always give Lagosian someone that will remain grateful to him and that person that may not be able to use his initiative to do whatever.

There was a poll conducted by seun osewa on twitter to evaluate the performance of past and present governors in Lagos state within the limited time of their tenure and Sanwoolu was voted relatively low.

He wears good ,brighter looks sometimes and a dull look, most times, that you would wonder if this is Sanwoolu grin

I think he still get strikes often times
