Idowu Shonoiki who was in the Studio with Kemi Fola-Adeyemo and Veronica Dan-Ikpoyi described the experience of having the power to decide on the fate of Millions of Lagos residents as surreal.

He added that being the governor of Lagos State for a day was not something to trifle with.

He described it as a great honour for him adding that he was overwhelmed with emotion moving into the Lagos State Government Executive Council Chamber and seeing Commissioners, Special Advisers, the Deputy Governor and the Governor all waiting for him.

He said it was a unique experience as he was in Senior Secondary School Class 2 when he won but acted as an SS3 Student in November 2015.

He thanked the organisers for giving such an opportunity to the young ones.

For his part, Ikechukwu Nlemadim, who joined the discussion via Zoom from Enugu said his experience of acting as the one day governor in 2006 was something that has stuck with him and has changed his life positively.

He added that as a completely unknown Student of Ire Akari Grammar School in Isolo then, it is still a euphoric experience for him even today.

On the Experience of being on the seat, the 2015 one day Governor, Idowu Shonoiki, said being on seat officially as the governor with so much authority and the power and privilege was a big deal.

He described it as an opportunity and an honour that he will cherish for the rest of his life.
