Gbajabiamila told Channels Television that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was doing a great job running the state.
According to the Speaker, planning to contest in the election would only be a distraction from his current position as the speaker of the house of reps.
He said: ”I have a job that I am doing presently. I don’t want any distraction. I have told those close to me that I want to concentrate on the job I am doing.
“I don’t have any plan to be governor. The current governor is doing a great job. The fact that we had a one-time governor before does not mean things will always be like that.
“He has done well in the midst of the difficult time we have had.”
