A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has called out the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for operating without an Executive Council despite running his second term in office.

He urged the governor to imitate his Abia and Osun counterparts, Alex Otti and Ademola Adeleke, who have constituted theirs without delay despite being first time governors.

In a recent statement made available toNews Express, Adegboruwa had said that Sanwo-Olu was running a “one man show” and on “auto-pilot” and that “money is being spent daily without commissioners and without an executive council duly constituted.”

His statement reads in part: “His Excellency, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu is on the saddle for his second term in office, so he is not new. Dr. Alex Otti, who is a first term governor, has since constituted his cabinet, so too Mr. Ademola Adeleke of Osun State. Governor Sanwo-Olu was sworn in for a second term in office on May 29, 2023. It is now well over one month and he seems to be running a one man show. So too, the governors of Oyo and Ogun States, who are also on their second terms in office.

“A State as cosmopolitan and complex as Lagos deserves a functional cabinet, for certainty of administration and predictability of policies.

“I therefore urge the governor to promptly constitute his cabinet without further delay so Lagos will not be on auto pilot.”
