The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has appealed to youths in Lagos to support his developmental plans for the people of the state.
Sanwo-Olu made the appeal in his New Year Message to the youth in Badagry at the end of activities to mark the Greater Lagos Fiesta in the town.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the three-day fiesta recorded a massive turnout of youths from the old Badagry division.
Sanwo-Olu, who was represented at the fiesta by the Commissioner for Home Affairs, Mr Ibrahim Layode, urged the residents of Badagry to cooperate with his administration by supporting his developmental plans.
He assured the people of Badagry that he would keep to his campaign promises.
The governor urged the youth to trust in his governance and be law-abiding.
The Chairman, Badagry Local Government Area, Mr Olusegun Onilude, said the fiesta brought both the old and the young together to enjoy themselves.
“Since Friday, people have been coming here in thousands to enjoy themselves.
“This is impressive and encouraging. All residents of Badagry division are coming to Badagry Grammar School here to enjoy themselves and relax.
“This has brought joy to all households in Badagry unlike before when cultists and bad boys used to fight one another at end-of-the-year carnival.
“We thank Mr Governor for not letting the dream die. He should continue the fiesta and next year’s should be bigger,” the council chairman said.
