The Governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has said the state is
important to Nigeria’s development that an individual would continue to
determine who governs it. Jimi Agbaje also promised to empower the local
government system to deliver service for the people of the state. In a
statement, Agbaje said that rather than a few people with vested interests
determining who governed the state, the onus lies on the people to elect their
leaders.
The statement reads: “As Governor, what I will do is use
that exalted Office to make sure the Government of Lagos State works for the
people of Lagos State, minimizing waste and focusing on areas critical to the
welfare of all Lagosians. “On any occasion I will welcome your questions and do
my best to answer them, so you will have no doubt of where I stand on issues
important to you.
“My government will be a government of minimal
interference, influence, so as to enable the free market flourish and run based
on the forces of demand and supply. “I will empower all arms of the government
from the local governments up.
The local government is crucial and must be the first
point of call for Lagosians. We will promote a Lagos State accountable to its
people. “One man should and must not determine the person occupying Alausa.
The fate and direction of everyone living in Lagos should
be determined by all who live in this great state.” “Thus we must have a Lagos
that recognises what it needs and a Lagos that encourages qualifications in
those areas, driven right through the educational system.”
