Lagos4Lagos movement has slammed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for recently naming a health centre in Amuwo-Odofin after Oluremi, the wife of former governor Bola Tinubu.

Abdul-Azeez Adediran, the founder of the movement, described Mr Sanwo-Olu’s decision as an “executive recklessness and insensitivity”.

Mr Adediran said that such development had continued across the state as many state edifices were either named after Mr Tinubu, his wife, or his daughter by officeholders.

He also berated Mr Sanwo-Olu’s failure to immortalise late former governor Lateef Jakande, one year after death.

Mr Jakande, who served as the first executive governor of the state between 1979 and 1983, died on February 11, 2021, at the age of 91.

Mr Adediran, in a statement issued in Lagos by his press secretary, Kazeem Bakare, said the former governor served the state more meritoriously than most of the politician governors after him.

“It is rather unfortunate that the state would not think of something in that regard for a hero of Jakande’s stature, as a mark of his immortalisation,” the Lagos4Lagos Movement leader said.

“A befitting immortalisation is not too much to ask for a state and national hero,” he said.

Lagos4Lagos movement formed under the Lagos chapter of the APC had defected to PDP last year.

The founder had said the development meant an end to godfatherism in Nigeria’s commercial hub.
