A pro-democracy group, Campaign for Dignity in Governance (CDG), has told the newly sworn-in members of cabinet in Lagos State Wednesday that, their choice was nothing but aa clarion call to assist Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu to move the state further forward, asserting that, \u201ctheir choice out of about 20 million other Lagosians is not for fancy of the nomenclature of being commissioners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Convener and National President of the organization, Comrade Razaq Olokoba in a statement immediately after their swearing-in reminded them that, \u201cthe belief of all people and residents of the state is that, you are assembled to make the dream of the governor to make his second term better than the first one should be realised,\u201d cautioning that, \u201cany conduct that would not be in line with that dream of a better second term would not be tolerated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the statement, those who were just invited to join the cabinet should consider themselves lucky and should have it at the back of their minds that their choice came out of the fact that they have been under the watchful radar of the people, assuring that, \u201cthose unknown monitors that fish them out would still be monitoring them now that they are in office and so should not rest on their oars as far as performance is concerned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To the second timers among them like Mr. Gbenga Omotosho, Professor Akin Abayomi and others, they should know that, \u201ctheir second coming is a great challenge for them to do better this time round,\u201d reminding them that, \u201cGovernor Sanwo-Olu reposes confidence in them that they are qualified to make the dream of a better second term realisable hence their re-invitation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While congratulating all of them on their swearing-in, Olokoba, through the statement admonished them to be of good character and hard-working just as he told them to remember that, \u201cthe responsibility of the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) is to always keep those in authorities on their toes to ensure good governance,\u201d stating emphatically that, \u201cpositions of responsibilities like the ones they have just earned are not to be treated as a tea party but a great challenge to serve their father land through the state.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement also gave kudos to the governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for his maturity and sense of patriotism he exhibited while navigating through the banana peel towards the smooth conduct of the Wednesday\u2019s activities, encouraging him to keep his eyes on the ball without distraction and assuring him of the support of the group\u2019s teeming members within the country and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
