He, however, urged the governor to do more to reduce poverty and hardship in the state in 2021.
“He (Sanwo-Olu) showed a commendable capacity to rise up to call-of-duty, from his timely responses to the Abule-Egba pipeline explosion, COVID-19 Pandemic and the EndSARS protest.
“These are commendable.
“However, a lot needs to be done to pull Lagosians out of stack poverty and hardship through practicable economic policies that will grow micro economy, ease transportation and create jobs,” Oladeji said.

At the election conducted at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) in Ado Ekiti, on Thursday, Iyaniwura polled a total of eight votes to defeat his rival and State Chairman, Action Alliance (AA), Mr. Lanre Anifowose, who garnered six votes.
The Chairman, IPAC Electoral Panel from Abuja, Mr. Obe Opunkun, declared Iyaniwura winner of the election that was supervised by INEC.
He said: “I started my political career when I joined the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1992 and contested as a chairmanship aspirant of Nassarawa Eggon Local Government Area (LGA) in 1993 during the failed attempt of General Sani Abacha to turn the polity from military to democratic rule. I later joined the defunct Grassroot Democratic Movement (GDM) in 1996.”
The politician said at the eve of this republic in 1999, he joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and later became the coordinator, North Central Movement for the Sustenance of Democracy International from 1999 till date.
According to him, he lost the primary election for Nasarawa State House of Assembly under the PDP in 2007.
