Governor Babajide Sanwo – Olu of Lagos State has said that governing the state is not an easy task , as he has lost weight in just one week since assuming office .
Sanwo – Olu spoke with State House correspondents after a private meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo , shortly after the expanded security council meeting on Friday , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja.
According to him , governing Lagos is not a tea party , as the experience and challenges are real .

“ It is not a tea party ; you don’ t sleep and wake up and the traffic has gone down . You don’ t sleep and wake up and there is no rain or that you have resolved Apapa gridlock ; it ’ s real .

“ So, it is something that one has to psychologically prepared for ; the best thing you can do is to make sure that you are not going about looking for what the other person did .

“ It is for Lagosians to see you do what you promised to do for them .
“ And if you don’ t do it from your office ; you have to do it on the road ; you have to do it where the issues are so that people will truly know that you mean business.
“ In one week , I will say I have lost weight ; I will probably still lose a bit more , but I think it is worth the job .

“ It is also important to ensure that you have the right team ; people that will also support you , ” he said .
