It was a
rainbow coalition of various social, political and cultural groups as Olujimi
Agbaje, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Lagos State governorship candidate
for the 2019 election kicked off his campaign.
The crowd
came from different localities in the state including Ajegunle, Mushin,
Ikorodu, Agege, Badagry, Ikeja and several other areas to witness the grand
event in Lekki Lagos.
At the interactive
ceremony, the PDP candidate promised to restore the dignity of Lagos and give the
residents the much-desired freedom to determine their fate rather than being
muzzled by a Godfather as it has been the case in the last 20 years.
Amidst
applause from representatives of various ethnic, social, political groups and
civil society from all parts of Lagos, Agbaje assured that the thrust of his
administration will be anchored on believability, power and healthcare.
According
to him, 1000 megawatts of power would be targeted in four years to muscle up
and boost the economic fortune of the people. He said the plank of his health
care programme would be built around health insurance schemes.
The PDP
candidate also promised to restore the glory and standard of education in the
state by providing more accessible to quality education as opposed to the current
ineffective system.
“I am
running a believable administration and I am in the race for service not for
self. They are in politics for selves. They have said that I am their
‘customer’. But I want to tell them that the customer is the king and he is
always right. By March 2019, the rest will be history because this election
will be decided by the people of Lagos who yearn for freedom, and not by political
parties,” he told the enthusiastic supporters.
He also
used the opportunity to introduce his deputy, Mrs. Haleemat Oluyemisi Busari
and promised that they would “carry the load together” instead of the culture
of making the deputy a “spare tyre”.
The duo
promised to hold more townhall meetings in the days ahead to engage supporters
and voters on the programmes for the state.
“We need
a governor that the buck stops on his table. I promise to be that governor. The
buck will stop on my table and Lagos will go back to his glory as the future is
bright,” he said amidst thunderous applause.
