Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday flagged off the Southwest Agenda 2023 (SWAGA ‘23) in Lagos State to rally support for the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
SWAGA was launched at the 10 Degree Event Centre in Oregun, Lagos and attended by political leaders from many parts of Lagos.
Led by former a Senator, Dayo Adeyeye, SWAGA is a political movement building support base for the former Lagos State Governor in anticipation of his interest to contest for president in the 2023 general elections.
Sanwo-Olu was accompanied by all members of the State Executive Council, lawmakers in the State House of Assembly, and members of Conference 57 to formally unveil the political group.Declaring total support for the group’s agenda, Sanwo-Olu said SWAGA was formed based on the belief in Tinubu’s vision and political philosophy that prioritise development of human capital and economy.
The Governor described the APC National Leader as a “core political thinker” of the contemporary generation, noting that Tinubu’s constituency in progressive politics stood him out as a beacon and rallying figure capable of delivering directional leadership to the country in the next dispensation.
Sanwo-Olu assured the proponents of the movement of his continued support, promising to mobilise more political support for the group. He said he would join hands with SWAGA coordinators to take the agenda beyond the Southwest region and make it a national movement.
