Agbaje vows to cancel Lekki-Epe toll gate if elected

By Onozure Dania

The governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, has vowed to cancel the controversial Lekki-Epe toll gate, if elected into office come February 14.


He hinged this on the fact that the toll gate is untenable as it is standing on an existing road.

Agbaje disclosed that the Lekki Phase 1 inner bridge would remain since it was started from scratch by the concessionaire company.

Agbaje, who was accompanied by his Deputy, Alhaja Safurat Abdulkareem said this yesterday during an interactive session with the Muslim community in Lagos.

Agbaje, who commended Governor Babatunde Fashola for some of the successes recorded in the State, however, stated that Lagos was in urgent need of change and not continuity.

He noted that most of the problems affecting the State are products of what he referred to as “vested interest.”

The PDP governorship aspirant further noted that these successes however has not been felt by ordinary Lagosians, whom he said were totally alienated from governance.

He said the citizens are therefore not positively lifted by the APC government in the areas of health, education and more.

Specifically, he said despite the promises of the state government on free health services, Lagosians still pay heavily at government hospitals, while promising to address this problem through a free health insurance scheme that would be paid for by government when in office.

Agbaje also assured his Muslim hosts, which includes the National Missioner of the Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria, Sheik Abdurahman Ahmad, that the problem of allowing Muslim children to wear the hijab veil to school would be solved through a synergy between the state and the mosque.

He, however, said those interested in hijab must be ready to wear it at all times, in order not input negative motives into the idea.

Great news. Agbaje keeps giving me reasons to vote for him.

Great candidate, wrong party!

It would end up an in-court out-of-court affair for two or more years while Lagosians bear the brunt in form of fluctuating toll fees.

Better


Gashola and tinubu don too thief

A good move in the right direction there from Agbaje....I wondered what the Lagos State stakeholders have done with Lagos money made right from 1999 to better the lives of the masses only for Tinubu to instruct his stooge, Fashola to erect toll gates at wrong places just for personal accumulation of ill-gotten wealth at the expense of the unwary and unenlightened masses....APC must pack and go come Feb. 28

Dare to be a Nigerian

If you support PDP, you are paid to do so and apparently a thief;

But if you support APC, you are a patriot who is fighting for Nigeria.

If an APC governor award a km of road for N1.2billion, he is prudent and God sent;

If a PDP governor award same km of road for N500million, he is a thief.

If Fani Kayode joins PDP, he is bastard;

If Atiku joins APC, he is a democrat.

If Jonathan spends N7billion for his office par year, he is a criminal;

If Fashola spend same amount in a year, he is a saint.

If Akpabio approves N200Million as pension, he must be stoned;

If Fashola approved N300million for Tinubu he is a change agent.

If you cancelled toll gate as PDP government, you are an enemy of progress;

But if you build a road in Lagos, with tax payers money and toll the road, you are genius.

If you increase school feed as PDP government, you must be crucified;

If you do same as APC government, there must be a reason, cuz Education is not cheap anywhere in the world.

If you share Okada to the poor as PDP, you are poor peoples enemy;

If you ban Okada after election as an APC government, you are only helping the poor to stay alive, so you mean well.

If you single handedly make your daughter a market woman leader in APC state, it is for the progress of the people;

But if your wife is made a permanent secretary in your state by your state government of PDP, you are a greedy fellow.

If you spend N16billion on electricity without power and then support APC, you a navigator;

If you raise N500million through unbundling of same power, you are clueless.

If you fail to pay your workers for a month, but in APC, it is not your fault but someone up there;

But if you failed to pay your worker for a month and still in PDP, you are wicked human being.

If you force your family, in-law and girlfriends as senators and lawmakers on the rest of the party members, you a progressive leader;

But if you act like you don't care in PDP, you are dullard

If you tried to get a third term fraudulently by bribing the legislatures but failed, then support APC, you are democrat and the father of the nation;


If you try to get a constitutional second term in PDP, without their blessings, you an ingrate and silly.

In their time we had Halliburton scandal, ID card scandal, Siemens scandal, we have subsidy scam scandal, we have national stadium contract scandal, we have health budget financial scam, aviation sector scam, we had power sector scandal. How many people did he jail to prove he fought corruption? Rather EFCC was his big stick against his perceived enemies.

In their time we had a sitting governor kidnapped by a thug working for the president. We had a whole region of the country rigged in favor of his party. Morris Ibekwe, a wanted international fraud star won election under PDP.

Those who stole Nigerians blind under PDP; Atiku, Obasanjo, Baraje, Saraki, Wammako, Kwankwaso, Amaechi, Oyinlola, Segun Oni, Okorocha, Ngige, Adeleke, El Rufai, etc, are today the same people financing APC and calling for "CHANGE".

Flashback to 1999, who were these people? Billionaires ? They where nobody. Today, they spend billions and no one dare to ask a question. If you do you are enemy of progress.

They started with "New PDP" when that didn't fly, they joined a cult group called ACN to become APC. Same character with different name.

Sometimes it is better not to be a Nigerian than to be a confused and ignorant one.

This one is not planning what he would do to make the place better, he is already aiming to destroy! He wants to come and spoil the progress of urban Lagos, spoiling internal revenue sources coz he wants to please some people and impoverish the state like other broke PDP states. Ah, this is madness. He would probably demolish the new Tejuosho market and the Ikoyi link bridge for some 'reason.' werey l'awon people yi o. God forbid bad thing for my beloved Lagos.


#SayNoToPDP ooooooo.

^^^You think development comes for free? Look at mega cities of the world such as London, UK; do you know how heavily they are taxed?? Look at the city, its a place everyone wants to be, coz of the development that did not come for free!

Read the text. He said he would leave the tolls on Ikoyi link bridge but cancel those of Lekki epe because that was an already existing road before the tolls came in.

Thank you your-excellency in the waiting.
Imagine, left my plot of land in Epe undeveloped because of the fear of paying N360 toll going & N360 toll coming (N720) everyday to mainland for my business.
Time to reject this exploiters in Lagos answering progressives.

Agbaje for Lagos(JK is Ok).

Agbaje just because you seek to govern Lagos does not mean you cancel every program of APC

If this program is economically wise, its best you leave it

Separate politics from economy
