Mr. Jimi Agbaje is the standard bearer of Peoples Democratic Party for the gubernatorial election in Lagos State on Saturday. He spoke on his chances of defeating the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress and how he plans to govern. SEYE OLUMIDE reports
We accused the ruling party of vandalising our campaign materials and it came up to deny that it wasn’t the one, but only for four days after, LASAA now came up to accept. We don’t want to believe that it was the agency that did the first vandalisation of our materials, because if it was to be the agency I don’t think by their training they should throw the materials on the bridge. What they normally do is to mark it or remove and take them away because it is a danger to traffic.
Apart from the Third Mainland Bridge incidents, are your campaign materials elsewhere in Lagos and do you seek LASAA’s permission to place them in those places? I came across that and I was so surprised because there was no release from my organisation about security. Somebody drew my attention to it but it didn’t come through our official channels. I have police protection and I am also in contact with the DSS for protection. I want to say the statement didn’t come out from our campaign organisation.Regarding traffic challenges in Lagos, we cannot say that those who have been in government in the last 20 years have planned for the future of the state.
This government has also failed to do enough in fixing potholes and rehabilitation across the state, which is another short-term measure. Lagos State Traffic Management Agency has been inefficient in the last few months, which again worsens the traffic situation. Another area I will address is the static traffic light we use currently.
