Questions arise over the rush by the incumbent governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode, to commission projects that are yet to be completed, especially the Oshodi-International Airport Road and Oshodi Transport Interchange. Nigeria
The projects expected to be commissioned by the president include the reconstruction of Oshodi-International Airport Road, Oshodi Transport Interchange, 820 mass transit buses, an ultra modern 170-bed Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist hospital located within the premises of Lagos University Teaching Hospital , Ikeja, and The Eko Theatre.
But there are more to the issues in the state’s politics than meets the eye, especially in the last few months. It is being insinuated that Ambode may not want to play another ‘political dullard’ having been thoroughly beaten once when he was ‘unexpectedly’ denied second term ticket in the controversial governorship primaries held in October 2018.
Another member of the party also explained that Ambode might also be trying to avoid the ‘law of karma’ from catching up with him, especially when considering the alleged manner in which the incumbent deliberately abandoned some of the massive projects, which Fashola started. An example is the ongoing Lagos-Badagry Expressway Expansion project, which he promised would be completed before the end of 2019.
“Putting these among other political and policies’ miscalculations together might have thought it very expedient to take the glory of his achievements before his exit,” a member of the party said yesterday.
