The Lagos State Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, has debunked a report that he would be contesting for the governorship position to stop the re-election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Muri-Okunola declared his support for Sanwo-Olu’s re-election, adding that he is focused on carrying out his duties as the Lagos State Head of Service.
He made this known in a statement he personally signed and made available to The Star on Monday.
The statement read: “My attention has been drawn to several publications linking me with a fictitious race for Lagos State Governor and plots to stop Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term bid.
“I hereby dissociate myself from all publications and innuendoes conveying such plots. I reiterate my support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s THEMES Agenda – the six-pillar development plan that is the compass for his projects and policies.

“The objective of those behind these publications is obviously to plant a seed of discord between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and me.
“Contrary to the statements being published by mischief makers, who are also trying to play the religion card, I am fully focused on carrying out my duties as Head of Service of the Lagos State Government and taking the Public Service to greater heights,” Muri-Okunola stated.
