The lawmaker, who congratulated Sanwo-Olu, said: ” The new sheriff in the city of Lagos, Mr Sanwo-Olu, is lucky to be elected to preside over a system which is time-tested and successful based on empiricism.

“The system which has evolved since the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu years has produced great human and material resources on the waters of which the Governor can build his bridge of success.

“In any case, the Governor himself is a member of the old order and as such he is expected to be precocious and up to speed in his delivery.
