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.
