The governorship candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in
Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has
declared that Lagos is not the
private company or estate of anyone
or a chosen few.
He stated that the people of the
state want a more inclusive and
more progressive government.
Agbaje in a message on his Facebook
page on Thursday, vowed to ensure
that the Centre of Excellence is “not
just for a few elite, but for ordinary
people.”
“For those who have suggested that
Lagos is a company, and should be
treated as such, I beg to differ”,
Agbaje said in an apparent reference
to the All Progressives Congress,
APC, that has been controlling Lagos
in the last 16 years.
Agbaje promised to be a leader to
the people and not run the affairs of
the state as a Chief Executive
Officer, CEO, where the employees
are at the mercy of the employer.
“As Governor, I want to be a Leader.
One who leads by ideas and action
and more importantly one who
inspires others to do the same –
whether they’re young or old; artisan
or white collar; Christian or Muslim;
indigene or non-indigene.”

“Yesterday, our brothers and sisters
at Ladipo came out in their numbers
to hear me speak and it was evident
how much the people of Lagos want
a more inclusive and more
progressive government.
“I was so inspired by the turn out
that I took some time out today to
reflect on why I chose to run.
“If there’s something I sincerely
think that we must achieve as a
government, it is that government
must begin work for, not just a few
elites, but for ordinary people. For
those who have suggested that Lagos
is a company, and should be treated
as such, I beg to differ.
“You see Lagos is not a company. It
shouldn’t be. A state with so much
human capital should not be led by
a “chosen few” who dictate to the
rest of us like a CEO would do to his
employees. Lagos is first and
foremost a home – to millions of
people who form a microcosm of the
larger country.
“It is a melting-pot that showcases
the best in our people and
underscores the inherent power we
have as a people-united irrespective
of our tribe, creed or religion.
“In a company, you hire and fire.
When profits look good, employees
get bonuses. When profits are down,
employees lose out. I don’t want to
be the CEO of Lagos.
“As Governor, I want to be a Leader.
One who leads by ideas and action
and more importantly one who
inspires others to do the same –
whether they’re young or old; artisan
or white collar; Christian or Muslim;
indigene or non-indigene.
“The challenges ahead of us will not
be solved through policy or
regulation alone. We will need to
change mindsets and inspire hearts.
“I strongly believe that as
government begins to work for the
people, the people in return would
begin to work for their beloved state,
so that when we succeed, it wouldn’t
be because of one man, it would be
as a result of our collective effort.
“In closing, let me say that in the
course of this campaign, I have met
some of the brightest young people
that you can imagine. I’ve met
young men and women who built
multi-million naira businesses out of
nothing running it from their homes.
Attack on Buhari: Call your wife
to order – APC warns Jonathan
“I have met professionals, traders,
market women and artisans who
make it a habit to give back to
society even when it’s hard to do so
sometimes. And I’m reminded why
I’m here and why it’s critical to have
a government that inspires,
celebrates and makes life a little
better for these everyday people”.

Beeni sir. Eko oni baje o

Our able governor!

You will win a free and fare election in Lagos state.

I pray they conduct a free and fare election.

God bless you sir

This is the campaign theme that will hurt the APC badly in the forthcoming elections in Lagos.
Their elitist approach to governance is their greatest undoing and the PDP for the first time seems
to be getting their act right by focusing on the weak point of the APC.

Change is coming.......To LAGOS

Agbaje for all Lagosians.

After Tinubu and Fashola looting, It is time for change.
