Mr Sanwo-Olu is seeking re-election in 2023 under the All Progressives Congress as he completes his four years tenure next May. His more youthful contender, Abdulazeez ‘Jandor’ Adediran, of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, has been working tediously to gain acceptance among rural Lagosians and youths who are affected by some harsh economic policies under Mr Sanwo-Olu.
