Sanwo-Olu mourns passage of Brigadier General Mobolaji Johnson
Lagos
State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has expressed sadness over the
death of the first Military Governor of the State, Brigadier Mobolaji
Johnson (rtd) on Wednesday at 83.
Mobolaji Johnson died in Lagos after a brief illness.
Sanwo-Olu,
in a condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Gboyega Akosile, described the late Gen. Johnson as a complete gentleman
and officer. A dedicated Lagosian. Gene. Johnson contributed immensely
to the development of Lagos state in particular and the nation in
general.
Governor Sanwo-Olu recalled General Johnson’s time as the
first Military Governor of Lagos State from May 1967 to July 1975, when
the late administrator brought visible infrastructural development to
the state.
He said: ‘‘Although General Mobolaji Johnson has gone to
be with his Lord and Creator, the memories of great accomplishments he
left behind will linger on forever. One remembers how the late General
Johnson’s administration worked with other seasoned professionals to
establish five Government Colleges and Housing Estates, which were
commissioned by the then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, within one
year of his administration. This, to me, is the hallmark of service and
has remained a benchmark for successive administrations in the state.’’
Sanwo-Olu,
who described the late Gen Johnson as a man of vision with a mission to
see a modern Lagos evolve, noted that the vision had started to
manifest in what we see today as every successive administration strives
to build on the developmental structure and foundation of good
governance laid by late Gen. Johnson.
The Governor reminded Lagosians
that the best way to immortalise the deceased is to ensure that good
governance spreads to every facet of the society.
‘’We must ensure that the people enjoy the dividend of democracy. Development must touch the lives of the people directly. This is the best way to immortalise the late Mobolaji Johnson because this is virtue he lived for.’’ Sanwo-Olu stated.
‘’On behalf of the Government and people of Lagos state, I want to express my sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family of late Brigadier General Mobolaji Johnson.’’
