Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor-Elect of Lagos State, has given a hint about those that may feature in his cabinet after being inaugurated into office.
He said only those who have shared vision with him and Obafemi Hamzat, his deputy, will make it into his government.
He said: “There are so many intelligent people in Lagos. It’s just for us to identify them. Some could work full time, some part time, others could be technocrats or politicians but the bottom line is for us to identify square pegs into square holes and round pegs into round holes. That’s number one.
“Number two, those who would work with Dr Hamzat and I must share our vision. They have to be on the same page with us from day one. The moment a politician or technocrat is appointed, he or she should see himself as a commissioner or staff adviser of Lagos, not for a sect or an area or jurisdiction.
The governor-elect said he would make all the major appointments of his government within three months.
He also spoke about his plans to tackle traffic which is a major problem in the state.
“In the first 90 days or so, we are hoping that we would have a working government in all the cabinets, all of the major appointments that we need to have, we would have them running very quickly,” he said.
