“She has demonstrated the Lagos spirit that we can do a lot and make sure we put our name on the map. I am super happy that Lagos State is rising in terms of entertainment and hospitality.

“I am happy we have a governor that has done a lot in tourism which is why we are seeing a lot of youths coming out. She is not the first and she’s not going to be the last. We are going to continue to support every Lagosian who means well for Lagos “ Aregbe said
