Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has described peace, unity, and shared values as the foundation of sustained governance and political stability in Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu stated this on Sunday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Christmas Carol of Nine Lessons themed “Prince of Peace – Omo Alade Alafia,” held at the APC Secretariat, Acme, Ogba.
The Governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, noted that Lagos’ culture of stability, internal cohesion, and disciplined political engagement has enabled the state to sustain its development trajectory for more than two decades.
According to him, “This gathering is more than a festive celebration; it is a reminder that peace has always been the cornerstone of our party and our governance. It is this culture of peace, unity, and discipline within the APC that has kept Lagos stable and thriving, and has allowed our development journey to remain steady for over twenty years.”
He further stressed that the party’s commitment to peace, unity, and disciplined leadership remains the bedrock of Lagos’ sustained development.
While acknowledging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his continuous developmental agenda in the country, the Governor described him as the architect of Lagos’ political stability and development model. He emphasized that his Renewed Hope Agenda continues to provide strategic direction for national progress, with Lagos remaining a leading example of visionary and consistent governance.
Sanwo-Olu noted that his administration remains focused on strengthening security, expanding critical infrastructure, empowering young people, attracting investments, and protecting the most vulnerable residents. He stressed that these priorities are being pursued through a stable political environment, a strong party structure, and a shared commitment to the Lagos development agenda.
He commended party elders and members for their loyalty and discipline, which he said have continued to provide a strong support base for effective governance and policy continuity in Lagos State. “The Lagos APC stands as a shining example of structure, loyalty, and discipline. Thanks to our leaders who mentor, our members who commit, and the shared values on which our party is built,” the Governor concluded.
Earlier in his Welcome Address, Chairman, Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, called on Nigerians to embrace peace, unity, and renewed hope as the country prepares for the New Year.
He described the Christmas season as a period of reflection, love, and service, adding that the celebration reminds humanity of the values of peace, humility, and righteous leadership.
“Christmas serves as a powerful reminder of hope and unity, cutting across differences and reinforcing the need for peaceful coexistence and collective responsibility in building a prosperous Lagos State and Nigeria at large,” he said, emphasizing that true leadership is rooted in wisdom, justice, and service to humanity.
He, therefore, called on Lagosians and Nigerians to embrace renewed hope in the coming year, anchored in unity, patriotism, and progress, while rejecting bitterness, hatred, and violence, encouraging citizens to work together to make Lagos and Nigeria safer, brighter, and more prosperous.
Ojelabi emphasized the strength and unity of the APC in Lagos State, stating that the party remains steadfast and committed to good governance and serving the people. He applauds the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, for his leadership and unwavering commitment to the security of lives and property, assuring residents that Lagos remains safe for all.
