Meanwhile, Sanwo-Olu has asked the residents and the general populace to start addressing him as Mr Governor and not “your excellency”.

Speaking further, Sanwo-Olu said his performance as the governor in the past five months does not reflect the office he occupies which is celebrated as the paragon of excellence, a temple of perfection and a throne of purity.

He also said that his new title as ‘Mr. Governor’ will help to foster close ties with the people of Lagos.
