Only Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, Abdul-Azeez Adediran of the PDP and Olufunso Doherty of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) attended the debate.
Three governorship candidates on Sunday highlighted their plans for moving Lagos State forward at a public debate.
It had the aspirants speaking on issues ranging from insecurity, traffic gridlocks in the state, education, health to innovation.While the candidates differed on plans and methods, they publicly disavowed political violence as the moderator cited incidents where supporters of APC and PDP allegedly violently disrupted campaigns.
“The event of two days ago was very unfortunate. I was there to campaign and surely and I don’t think I would have gone there to shoot the people I went to campaigns to. So for me and my supporters, we are going to ensure that we continue with our election campaign as peacefully as possible,” he said.
Mr Doherty of ADC said his government would prioritise the welfare of security agencies in the state “who are going rogue and acting in ways they shouldn’t. Agreeing with the LP candidate, Mr Doherty said the rail project is a welcome development that should be complemented by bringing the waterways into the multimodal transportation system, “which we must pursue and deliver in a short period of time.”
“Another thing that we are going to look at with education is that we need to start infusing digital technology into higher education, so that we don’t get too far left behind. It is extremely important that at every primary school, they have access to computers and digital technology,” he said.
