Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos says his role as a father who cares for his family inspires him in his service as political leader of the commercial city.

Sharing photos of himself cooking in a kitchen, Mr Sanwo-Olu, in his 2024 Father’s Day message on Sunday, said being a father influences his role as a governor.

“Fatherhood for me is about responsibility, love, and sometimes, a call to kitchen duties. It demands sacrifice, patience, and dedication to being the best we can be for our families,” Mr Sanwo-Olu.

He added, “As a father and leader, I strive to nurture and provide in every role, ensuring my home thrives. The same dedication I bring to my family, I bring to serving Lagos. The love and principles we uphold in our families guide me daily as your governor. Together, we build a stronger, more caring community.”
