Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo – Olu has promised to increase the salary and allowances, as well as welfare package of the staff of Lagos State Waste Managers, particularly the street sweepers in recognition of their dedication to clean and healthy environment in the State. The Governor said his administration remains committed to the welfare of waste managers and those ensuring cleaner city and secure environment. He implored the electorate, particularly PSP operators and waste managers in Lagos to vote massively for Tinubu, himself, and other APC candidates for various positions. “Vote for all APC candidates from top to bottom. We have about one month to election, go and inform all your neighbours and all those you pack their waste and work for that this is where you earn your source of livelihood. “Some people are spreading lies, they want to sack you, God will not allow them there. ” We will not allow them. We have many people in your organisation. We will increase your salary and allowances, and make you more comfortable ” he said. Governor Sanwo – Olu gave the assurance at a mega rally organised by Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria ( AWAMW), popularly known as PSPs at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan last Thursday to drum support for the re – election bid of Lagos State Governor as well as the the election of the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 elections. During the rally, thousands of waste managers in Lagos and South – West States endorsed the Presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and re – election of Governor Babajide Sanwo – Olu, promising to mobilise for their victories in the forthcoming general election. He said “Tinubu is the brainchild of LAWMA in Lagos, which many States in Nigeria have replicated. I want to assure you that the election of Tinubu at the Federal level will raise the bar of more commitment to the environment and economic growth through the sector. The Governor urged all Nigerians, particularly Lagos residents to vote massively for all APC Candidates throughout the Country to galvanise development across levels. Also speaking, Lagos State Deputy – Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, appreciated the mammoth crowd for their support and urged them to vote wisely. ” Tinubu knows the way, we should get our PVCs to vote for Tinubu and Sanwo – Olu. Let them know that it is Tinubu we are voting for when he gets to Abuja, he will perform. Many States in Nigeria now have KAI, LAWMA, and LASTMA. Tinubu is our teacher. On March 11, we should come out and vote for Sanwo – Olu” he said. In his address, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lagos Waste Management Authority LAWMA, Mr. Ibrahim Odunboni, said the association will mobilise its personnel in thousands for APC victory in the 2023 general elections. He said Governor Sanwo – Olu had strengthened the workforce to over 38,000, noting that everybody is working to keep Lagos clean. I want to urge everybody to go out and pick up your PVCs, if you have not done so, and ensure that you vote for change, Odunboni advised. The association must translate the massive support to electoral victory on the election day. The Lagos APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi urged the waste managers to go and collect their PVCs and vote massively for Tinubu for laying the foundation for a solid Lagos and vote for Sanwo – Olu to enjoy more infrastructural development. National President of Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (AWAMN), Mr. David Oriyomi who spoke on behalf of the waste managers vowed to mobilise all their members for the door – to – door campaign to reach every nook and cranny of the State for Tinubu and Sanwo – Olu. He recalled that AWAMN was the first organisation that endorsed the candidacy of Sanwo – Olu in 2018, saying that the association was pleased that the Governor has proven us right by the great work that he has done in the State and for the environment. We will secure 10 million votes for our Grand Patron, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Shettima, we will secure 2 million votes for Governor Sanwo – Olu and Dr. Obafemi Hamzat and will also secure votes for all the Governors in all the States we operate he said.
