"Lagis" he can only be "lagis" come 2015 while Obanikoro or Agbaje becomes Governor of LAGOS come 2015. GEJ till 2019!!

Goodluck 2 u sir.

[size=15pt]He is not a Lagosian
I won't vote for him[/size]

He has my vote. Congrats to him

He will fail.
His failure will signal the end of the reign of Tinubu's godfatherism in Lagos state

This is the next Governor of Lagos State , I'm dancing shoki here

Goddex:
[size=15pt]He is not a Lagosian
I won't vote for him[/size]

But he has served lagos all his life and if what he said about 85% budgetary performance is true, he deserves the position.

Goddex:
[size=15pt]He is not a Lagosian
I won't vote for him[/size]

He was born in Lagos and lived all his life in Lagos.

Even agbaje that is most credible of PDP /aspirants cannot boost of such a robust credential, without doubt ambode is sure the next governor of Lagos. All the odds against him are not even anything to stop his wheel of progress. Governor in waiting.

This man is good to go, whether he is from Lagos or not. Action and development is what we need. Lagos is a cosmopolitan mega city, which boast of the best diversity of different tribes in Nigeria. Any Nigerian can become the Governor of Lagos state

but he lied in oath, hence, he is disqualified to contest the governorship election
