Why PDP must win in Lagos –Agbaje


Governorship can­didate of the Peo­ples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agba­je, has said his party will take over Lagos State from the ruling All Progressives Con­gress (APC), because, “APC government has not achieved the basic ingredients re­quired for a mega city.”
Agbaje, who stated this at a media interactive session in Lagos yesterday, alleged that, “Lagos has collected up to N4 trillion over the years,” but what the government had achieved was not enough for the money collected.

He, therefore, promised that a PDP government would res­cue the state from “the hands of vested interests” that had been pulling the state backward, as­suring that, “the Lagos chapter of the PDP is united to salvage the state from misgovernance of the APC government.”
Stressing the need for para­digm shift in Lagos, Agbaje raised the alarm that, “with the reduction of oil price, Nigeri­ans are in for a tough time,” but pointed out that, “it is when the going is tough that there is the need for the tough ones like us to come in to get going.”
On the 37 controversial lo­cal council development areas (LCDAs) created by the ruling government, the PDP flagbear­er said even his party, “recog­nizes them in its structure.”
He stated emphatically that he had no godfather in politics that would influence or hamper service delivery to the people if elected as governor, inform­ing that his campaign for next month’s election was predi­cated on change in the affairs of the state.
