Once you see anybody on SM calling Dr Doyin Okupe names like "mole", "Betrayal", "sellout" just know the person was never involved in the campaign
You cannot see anyone involved in the campaign in real life abuse him
Man was a proper DG
He left and the campaign crumbled
Make no mistake he didn't get all his decision right! Lolz even as my father, I disagreed on a very strong terms with him to the point where he even reported me to PO 😂😂
But he was real, he was passionate, he was a leader, he was a father to all of us!
Apparently he knew his days were numbered when he hosted a dinner for close associates earlier this year to announce "it may be his last dinner"
His understanding of Nigerian politics is unmatched
90% of his predictions came to pass just the way he predicted
I will deeply miss him on this journey to salvage Nigeria
May his soul rest in the bossom of the Lord, Amen ❤️

SANWO-OLU RESTATES COMMITMENT TO DELIVERY OF LEKKI AIRPORT, LIFE-CHANGING PROJECTS
•Governor visits Alaro City, hails government-private partnership
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday said his administration is committed to the delivery of the proposed Lekki International Airport and other iconic infrastructural projects in different parts of the state.
He said regulators in the Aviation industry will arrive in Lagos State next week for a review and site inspection that will lead to the commencement of the construction of the Lekki International Airport, which will help future investments in the State.
Governor Sanwo-Olu spoke during a guided tour and official visit to Alaro City and the Universal One Development at Alaro City, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos. He was accompanied by some members of the Lagos State Executive Council and top government officials.
The Governor, who spent over two hours inspecting the four companies inside the Alaro City—Ariel Foods, BUA, TY Danjuma Logistics Park, and Universal Homes—also disclosed that work will soon commence on the Green Line Rail project, which is from Marina to Lekki, noting that the funding for the project is being put together.
He said: "We commend Alaro City for the amount of physical infrastructure that has been laid on the ground to encourage businesses and investors to come down to the city.
"As a government, we have put in place infrastructure to be able to receive investments in this corridor. We need to give credit to our visionary President Bola Tinubu, who was the Governor that started the Lekki Free Trade Zone about two decades ago, and I was uniquely opportune to be part of his team at that time. We have seen successive growth since then.
"Alaro City is a success story. We want to encourage investors that are still on the borderline that you need to make a call now because things are moving very fast. We thank all Lagosians for believing in our city and state. The Lekki-Epe Expressway will open and will continue opening up for investment into this part of the city.
"There is a plan for the Green Line Rail, which will eventually come to this neighbourhood. There are additional life-changing projects that are happening outside of what has happened in the last 10-15 years. I am extremely excited knowing fully what this place will be in another 10 years from now."
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of Alaro City, Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi, said the Lekki Free Trade Zone corridor is the right place to invest based on the huge infrastructural development by the Lagos State Government in the zone.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Alaro City, Mr. Yomi Ademola, commended the partnership between Lagos State Government and the private organisations, which, according to him, has attracted many investments to Lagos and created more job opportunities for the residents.
Ademola commended the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for the delivery of key infrastructural projects in different parts of Lagos State, particularly in the Lekki axis of the State, among which are the Lekki Deep Sea Port and Phase I of the six-lane rigid pavement Lekki-Epe Expressway, as well as the proposed Lekki Airport and Green Line Rail.
Today, I visited Alaro City and the Universal One Development within the Lekki Free Zone, located in Lagos State.
Established in 2006 by H.E. President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Lekki Free Zone spans over 16,500 hectares. Alaro City is situated in the Northwest Quadrant of this zone, along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and close to the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the proposed Lekki International Airport.
During the tour, I visited several operational industries. The strong investor confidence in Alaro City serves as a testament to the favourable business conditions in Lagos State.
We remain committed to fostering an environment that encourages investment and development.
Our city is a hub for economic growth and innovation; together, we will continue building a prosperous future for all.
