Quote “The civil service mainly builds the country. They [civil servants] are the technocrats. They are the people that we, the politicians, rely on,” “And if the civil servants decide to get things done properly, I think the country will be better off. Even when the politician says, ‘let us do it the other way,’ and he [the civil servant] says, ‘no, let us follow the rules,’ I think Nigeria will be better off." “It is about dedication to the development of Nigeria. When you trust and believe in the country, you will want to see it succeed." “I don’t know what they mean by appendage. I am a loyalist of Tinubu. He earned my loyalty a long time ago and I have no apologies to make to anyone for that. Yes, it is true that I started and built my political career in Lagos, courtesy of the former Governor’s statesmanship.” In politics, the impossible can become possible. People who were once perceived as opponents can become allies. Life is too short for unnecessary political divisions. We should focus on unity and collective progress. Reflecting on political reconciliation. Lagos appreciates people who mean well. The state welcomes everyone and rewards hard work, dedication, and good intentions regardless of where they come from. Describing Lagos as a welcoming and accommodating state where individuals are judged by their contributions rather than their ethnic or regional backgrounds.

It is prudent allocation, effective oversight and fiscal discipline that transform public resources into tangible development outcomes.
