When a senior lawyer, Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa , recently, accused the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of abandoning governance after the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress , his spokesperson descended heavily on him, calling him names. But the reality is that governance in Lagos is in recess.
For many observers of the events in the state, the senior lawyer cannot be far from the truth. Governance in the state is truly at a standstill. In countries like the United States with very strong institutions, when the president or a governor is unavailable, nobody feels it because the agencies respond to all that the people need to make life comfortable.
When politicians and political office holders understand that their loyalty is first to the people and not to anyone who might have aided their appointment, Nigeria will get it right as administration ceases to suffer but the 'master' rather sees inactions towards him as betrayal
