The Humanity Services Project (HSP) Issued a call yesterday, Urging the Lagos State House of Assembly to reconsider and endorse the list of Commissioner-Nominees put forth by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Aramide Adeyoye, Mr. Seun Osiyemi, Mr. Rotimi Ogunwuyi, and Dr. Olumide Oluyinka.
In response, the HSP expressed concern, Noting that many of those not selected had Significantly contributed to the Governor’s first-term Achievements and could be considered Experienced and trustworthy.
Mr. Linus Okoroji, the Organization’s convener, emphasized that the Governor possesses the best Insight into the Performance of Individuals from his First Term who he wishes to retain.
Okoroji cautioned against Exerting Undue pressure on the Governor to alter his Choices, which could potentially disrupt the Political atmosphere.
Okoroji also appealed to the Governor to resubmit the Nominees’ names to the Assembly, highlighting that this step would be in the State’s best Interest.
He stated, “We want to remind the House of the Importance of the better second Term the Governor has Promised.
All hands are supposed to be on Deck for him to achieve his Promise as a man who always walks his talk.
We appeal to the Lawmakers to Strive hard to ensure that the Executive/Legislative synergy is Sustained and strengthened for the good of the People.
Therefore, we caution that if the necessary steps are not taken to meet the Expectations of our group and the General Populace, we cannot rule out the possibility of a significant Peaceful Protest.
We are committed to preventing Politics from dictating the Fate of the people.”
