The Director-General of a support group, Sanwo-Olu Ambassadors, Alhaja Tai Elemesho-Okesanjo has commended Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for keeping to the developmental blueprint that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (now President of Nigeria) designed about 20 years ago which has consistently put the state in its mega status.
Alhaja Tai, otherwise known as Montai plays big in construction business both in Lagos and across Nigeria.
Her group Sanwo-Olu Ambassadors was amongst the first group that started Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu Campaign right ahead any other support groups in Lagos.

Alhaja Elemesho in a chat with some senior correspondents on Thursday when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR officially commissioned the Lagos Mass Rail Transit (LMRT) red line train project said the State is on the path of progress and prosperity.
The red line train infrastructure is in its first phase, runs from Agbado in Ogun State to the Oyingbo axis of Lagos State. The 37 km rail line has eight stations, namely Agbado, Iju, Agege, Ikeja, Oshodi, Mushin, Yaba and Oyingbo.
Her words:
“I strongly commend our amiable, visionary, hardworking, compassionate and forthright Governor, who I always call, Mr Sellable for keeping in track with the developmental blueprint that our leader and mentor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu designed about 20 years ago, and impressively this has consistently put the state in its deserving mega status”
Elemesho further hailed the Lagos State current infrastructure milestone noting that the efforts and commitments to provide safe and affordable means of mass transportation in the state will improve the value chain of business while also giving opportunities to the citizenry to predict their journey times.
“I believe that the Lagos Mass Rail Transit (LMRT) red and blue lines train projects will help the transport sector because of the traffic in Lagos. My greatest joy also is that the people of Lagos love love it because it will enable them to meet up various activities and predict their journey times. It will also reduce the rate of accidents on our major roads.
“I also use this opportunity to thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his leadership. I want to also thank him for the origin of modern Lagos that he created and started for us. But more importantly, I want to thank him that he helped us in Lagos to have a man that is capable of sustaining and championing his dreams and aspirations for a greater Lagos, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is indeed competent and undoubtedly a blessing for Lagos State” Elemesho stated.

The Nigerian police has finally approved the planned nationwide protests and outlined conditions for participants.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed this on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He urged all groups planning to participate in the proposed nationwide protest to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.
The police boss said this was to ensure the protest was peaceful.
Egbetokun said, “We acknowledge the constitutional right of Nigerian citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.
“However, in the interest of public safety and order, we urge all groups planning to protest to provide necessary details to the Commissioner of Police in the state where the protest is intended to take place.
“To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, they should please provide the following information: state the proposed protest routes and assembly points; expected duration of the protest; and names and contact details of protest leaders and organisers.”
The police boss said the information expected from the organisers also include measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements, as well as key identifiers for possible isolation of potential troublemakers.
By providing the information, he said, the police will be able to deploy adequate personnel and resources to ensure public safety.
He said the police needed to know the specific routes and areas for the protest to avoid conflicts with other events or activities.
Mr Egbetokun said the police will “establish clear communication channels with protest leaders to address any concerns or issues that may arise; minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or other criminal activity.
“We encourage all protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly to guarantee a safe and successful exercise of their rights.
