Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has lauded Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over the achievements of his administration.

Fayose made the commendation while speaking at the commissioning of five strategic networks of roads – Oba Dosumu Street, Oduduwa Way, Oduduwa Crescent, Sobo Arobiodu and Sasegbon Streets – measuring 6.134 km, in Ikeja.

The ex-Ekiti governor, who at first reaffirmed his vow never to join the All Progressive Congress (APC), acknowledged the performance of Sanwo-Olu in Lagos state.

He recounted how he was among those who criticised his nomination during his first tenure campaign.

Fayose, however, admitted that Sanwo-Olu proved him and other critics wrong with his works which made him supported his second term campaign.

“I’m not a member of APC and I will never be a member. But I will not shy away to the fact that what is good is good.

“When the news of your nomination came six years ago, so many preservations. But you have proved the bookmakers wrong, including myself.

“All the bookmakers you have proved us wrong that it is not the colour of the pack but what is right inside that thing.

“You are a different breed of politician.

“You are not contesting again your Excellency but when you are contesting last time, I followed you, I wore your cap. Because we saw you yesterday, we can project tomorrow. We can see tomorrow now with what you are doing. ” He said.

Meanwhile, Fayose declared his support for the second term bid of Ekiti state governor, Biodun Oyebanji.

“I always tell people who care to listen, I am a PDP member, but I will support Oyebanji in the next election. It is not about politics. It is who Oyebanji is.” Fayose declared.
