WHY did you set up the Lagos
Independent Presidential Campaign
Group for President Jonathan?

I set up the Lagos Independent
Presidential Campaign Group for
President Jonathan to deepen the
President’s presence in Lagos State
and take his message directly to the
people. There is a lot of
misinformation going on and a
critical way to counter that is
through grassroots mobilization.

Do you see President Jonathan
winning the election?

I have no doubt in my mind that the
president will win. It is going to be a
close election, but I have no doubt in
my mind that at the end, the
President will carry the day.

Dislocation of insurgency

However, from the distribution and
collection of PVCs, it is clear that
the APC wants to rig in the North.
How do you explain states like
Borno and Yobe with the dislocation
of insurgency recording 80 percent
collection? APC is setting the stage
to write election results. I am more
convinced about this, because their
candidate is not a known democrat,
so he doesn’t mind doing or
condoning whatever it takes to win.
He has no history of promoting the
rule of law.

Do you foresee any outbreak of
violence after the presidential
elections?

I hope not and that is why I am
happy about the peace accord
signed by Buhari. Let’s not forget
that it is his silence that escalated
the violence we are witnessing
today. After his loss in 2011, his
followers went on rampage and he
kept quiet. This degenerated into the
activities of Boko Haram. Prior to
that, the activities of Boko Haram
were not as deadly as they became
after the 2011 elections.

What are Jimi Agbaje’s chances in
the gubernatorial elections in Lagos
State?

I am confident with the feedback I
am getting with an average person
on the street of Lagos that they are
clamoring for a change that will end
one man’s control over our
resources in Lagos. They are
clamoring for a government that will
invest in education as a way to end
the slavery in our state. Just
recently, Lagos State Government
placed a N10, 000 fee on children
sitting for JSS 3 exam. This is
wicked and grossly insensitive on
the part of a government that
promised to give hope to the
hopeless. And when education is no
longer affordable, how can the
people have hope?
So I am confident that the mood of
Lagos State at this time favours the
victory and emergence of Jimi
Agbaje as the next Governor of
Lagos State and we are putting in
everything legitimately possible to
make this dream a reality.

Do you think there is a level playing
ground for the campaigns in Lagos?

Not at all! The APC government in
Lagos is not concerned about
democracy. They are trying to kill
the opposition in Lagos while we
have created space for the
opposition at the center. In Lagos,
they are hiding under LASAA to
deprive us, the opposition a voice.
In today’s Lagos, an average person
cannot contemplate running for
office because of the huge cost of
running a campaign.
Posters and billboards
This is what they are doing
consistently to ensure only their
posters and billboards are out there.
This is a recipe for unnecessary
crisis. Because when you remove
other candidates signposts,
billboards and posters, they on their
own too can retaliate and this can
lead to violence. I believe people
deserve to know what the opposition
is saying and put it side by side with
what the APC is saying. On another
level, the APC campaign has been
largely crisis ridden. Just today, 3
people were killed in Shomolu
during one of their campaigns.
They have also officially christened
their thugs, Team Lagos and they
have bought lots of deadly weapons
that they want to use on Lagosians. I
think it is time for the police to
begin to beam their searchlight on
these people.

Propagandas are being employed by
politicians to promote their
acceptance. Do you see that as
healthy?

A lot of mudslinging and
misrepresentation have been...........
