Gov. Fashola Earmarks NBillions For His Friend Supo Shasore To Be Lagos Governor
As the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos prepares for its gubernatorial primaries in few days, it is evident that the governor of Lagos Babatunde Raji Fashola is not relenting in making sure that his voice becomes the loudest in the selection process of his successor. The governor who has failed in his bid to fly the kite of hi
s Commissioner For Works, Obafemi Kadiri Hamsat as a suitable successor, has decided to direct his arsenals in making sure another loyalist of his, 50-year-old Olasupo Shasore, another Senior Advocate of Nigeria and former Attorney General of Lagos State, takes over from him.
Though, this looks more like a tall dream considering the fact that the Lion of Boudilon, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu has settled for the candidacy of Akinwunmi Ambode.

Although, it was Senator Ganiu Solomon that started well with his sensitization before others lately joined after they realize there would be primaries.
Olasupo Shasore is a lawyer, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria , a scholar, a historian, a well documented writer, a voracious reader, a seasoned administrator and an avid sportsman who was pushed into the ring by Governor Fashola.
