affecting the majority of the populace with its policies and
programmes in the last four years.”
He said “I believe there is no better time than now for Lagos to
witness change, Lagos is too important to be run like a local
government, it’s the melting point of all ethnic nationalist“
He continued that taxes collected from the people must be
judiciously utilized to develop both human and state basic
infrastructure “you may have seen activities in the government
but how well are these activates providing solution to the
problem of the people, we are going to bring new perceptive to
governance such that we will run government that will address
the needs of the people and provide solution to government”
He said if elected his government will be people -focused “ we
will feel the pulse of the people, seek areas where they need
government attention and pay attention to them because there are
the one that pay taxes which we mange.” He added that his
government will engage in human development rather than the
physical development which the current government in the state
has been embarking upon .
