Ahead of Saturday’s direct primaries of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, members of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, popularly called PSP operators, on Thursday embarked on what they called a ‘free-waste-collection’ rally on major roads in the state in support of a governorship aspirant, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The rally came about a week after the PSP operators at a press conference declared their support for Sanwo-Olu, who had declared his intention to take over from the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.



The PSP operators adorned their waste collection trucks with banners and campaign posters of Sanwo-Olu, while some of them also were decked in vests and fez caps bearing the aspirant’s photograph.

During the rally, which reportedly took place simultaneously in different parts of the state, the association members packed waste dumped on major roads.

Speaking in Alimosho, the Chairman of the association, Alhaji Ola Egbeyemi, said the PSP operators were convinced that Sanwo-Olu, if elected to replace Ambode, would restore Lagos to its former clean state and also restore the jobs of the 25,000 workers engaged by the association members.

Egbeyemi said, “We are very sure that if all the votes of the masses are given to Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos is going to reclaim its past glory; that is the purpose of this support rally.

“We have declared a day of free refuse packing from the highways so that everybody will know that we can do it.”

Also speaking, the association’s Vice Chairman, Mr David Oriyomi, said the association went political because the earlier waste management arrangement put in place “by our grand patrol, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was thwarted through political means. It is therefore imperative that we put it right through political means.”

The association’s spokesman, Mr Olugbenga Adebola, added that the PSP operators were saddened to see their achievement of turning Lagos State into one of the cleanest cities in the world being reversed in the last three years.

He said, “What we are doing today is a free service to drum up support for Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

“As it has been established, through the effort of the PSP operators and the support given by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, we were able to move Lagos from one of the dirtiest cities in the world to one of the cleanest with a lot of awards and accolades.

“It saddens our heart to see our labour of making Lagos one of the cleanest cities in the world being reversed in the past three years.”

Ambode goofed big time.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
The powers that be (Tinubu) has anointed him to be next Governor of Lagos state.

Tinubu decides who becomes the governor of Lagos state.

Our votes don't count anymore in this country.

savio93:
Tinubu in action.

I liked Ambode, but if after three years of stay. We still spend a lot hours between okoko and oJo barracks because of the numerous bad roads.

Ahh. On Monday, I trekked from Volks to trade fair not because I don't have transport far but because the road was so terrible and Okada riders had a free day of exploiting stranded people.

I stand with anybody not Ambode joor.
Daily, we trek all the way to trade fair... It's not fair at all

See mumu's they are running from fry pan to fire. The day u stop believing/assume to know what promises politicians will fulfill, that's d day u become wiser

I had the privilege of chatting extensively with a top government office holder in Lagos state who dissected the administration of Ambode, he has good intentions but what he failed to realize is governance is about effectively carrying along the people over whom you govern. An adage in yoruba says " eniyan laso wa". Human relation matters in whatever position you find yourself in life

Sometimes we need to think deep.

Godfatherism is everywhere but let's face It, Tinubu has managed to present good governors to Lagosians and I mean real technocrat whilst he maintains the political structure making it a win-win situation.
