After 16 Years, Its The Turn Of Lagos State To Enjoy Benefits From FG – Osinbajo

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said it is the turn of Lagos State to enjoy benefits from the Federal Government after being in opposition for 16 years.

Osinbajo told the enthusiastic All Progressive Congress (APC) supporters at Oworonshoki that the future of Lagos would be brighter with the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari. He said:

“I want to say to everybody that the next few years will be very important for Lagos State; the Federal Government is going to be doing a lot more with Lagos State.

” For 16 years, we were in opposition; now is the turn of Lagos State to begin to enjoy the benefits of the Federal Government and the Federal Government will support in every way.

“It is time for young people to have good jobs and we are going to make sure that we provide those jobs.

“We have laid a foundation but we are going to build on that foundation; every young man and woman ought to have a decent job; you ought to have something good enough to do

“Come Feb. 16, that will be a special day because I know we are going to win on that day.”

Afterwards, the vice president preceded to Alapere where he visited the family of Elder Adewole Adeyeye among others families in the area before addressing a huge gathering.

The ever busy Ikosi road in Lagos was a beehive as jubilant residents, traders, hawkers and artisans lined the road and hailed while the vice president stopped at intervals, alighted from his motorcade and acknowledged cheers.

Osinbajo was accompanied on his visits by the Lagos state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwolu and some other party chieftains.
