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 Con­
gress (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.
