Jimi Agbaje Promises To Scrap Lekki-epe Tollgate by ShowYourCertificate: 5:40pm On Jan 15, 2015
THE governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has promised to cancel the controversial Lekki-Epe tollgate, if elected into office.

Speaking during an interactive session with the Muslim community in Lagos yesterday, Agbaje hinged his plan to cancel the Lekki-Epe tollgate on the fact that the tollgate is untenable, as it is standing on an existing road.

The PDP governorship candidate however, disclosed that the tool on the Lekki Phase 1 inner bridge would remain, in view of the fact that the construction of the bridge started from scratch by the concessionaire company.

Agbaje, who was accompanied by his Deputy, Alhaja Safurat Abdulkareem, commended Governor Babatunde Fashola for some of the successes recorded in the state but he averred that Lagos was in urgent need of change and not continuity.

He also assured his Muslim hosts, who included 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.

Meanwhile, former Governor of Lagos State and National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the incumbent governor of the state, Babatunde Fashola yesterday urged Lagosians to be wary of the activities of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) so as not to associate with “failure”.

The duo who spoke at the flag-off of the Lagos APC campaign rally which took place at Archbishop Vinning Memorial Church Open Ground, GRA, Ikeja likened PDP to a political Ebola, saying associating with them will bring nothing good for Lagos and the country in general.

The party leaders took turn to lambast the Federal Government and PDP for poor leadership, saying the nation’s economy has gone from bad to worse since Jonathan came to power.

In the same vein, the APC national leader also accused PDP gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje of impatience, saying his impatience has led him to a dead end.

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 stupid.

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.

Lagos must surely be liberated...


Firefire:



Liberation from godfatherism

Liberation from stealing our money and privatizing our common wealth (Alpha Beta, TVC, The Nation Newspaper, The Nation Airline etc.)

Liberation from one man dictating who rule in Kosofe, Mushin, Agege. Ikorodu, Badagry, Epe and the entire state.

Liberation from taking debt running into billions of naira (Bonds, Loans etc) despite the huge IGR and share from Federation account with little or nothing to show for it.

Liberation from one man placing his family members in ALL available position at the detriment of other good people of Lagos.

Liberation from running a secret cult like government, where they refused to domesticate Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, for Lagosians to ask question for the said progressive government.

Liberation from a party who never sees anything wrong in their own system but continue to castigate others.

Liberation from a lying party who increase LASU fee from 25,000NGN to 300,000NGN but reduce it back to 25,000NGN because election is coming with plan to increase again after winning election.

Liberation from a lying party who provided safety gears for Okada men prior to 2011 election but turns around to ban okada after winning the election, now they have relaxed the rule because election is coming again.

Liberation from party who can tell naked lies without fear of posterity, they promised 4th Mainland Bridge, they promised Leki-Epe Airport, and many more projects, where are the projects

Liberation from a party who make deafening media noises of achievement that is not comparative with the resources at their disposal.

Indeed, Lagos needs liberation and come February 2015, LAGOS SHALL BE DELIVERED.



Shalom

I personally love agbaje for being a straight forward fellow. But he was misquoted by the press on the "Nigerian Economic" issue. Though he may have his own bad sides, but I really think he is the right candidate cos Ambode Akin-Ti'nlo Akinwunmi will only serve as a figure head for Tinubu. That man has Siphoned lagos state and lagosians pockets for too long. Please let's do it right, let power change hands. Agbaje as far as I know defeated Fashola in the 2007 debate. And Ambode Akin-Ti'nlo Akinwumi Ewamaalo served for 27 years in the lagos civil service, but he was sacked for mismanagement the last time I heard. All in all #iBelieveInAgbaje.

Stop spreading false rumors Ambode retired to go and prepare for his campaign. He has a letter of commendation from Fashola himself which dates back to when he retired with Fashola commending him for his incredible service to Lagos, you can take a look at the letter on his Facebook page and website. Tell us you man's qualification if he has any instead of trying to pull another man down. angry truth is Agbaje has no achievements to speak off, he knows nothing about governance and has nothing to offer Lagos.

If you are talking about lining godfathers pocket you may want to talk about Agbaje's godfather Bode George the kirikiri graduate.

This foolish man is damn dangerous and should be rejected outright!

He should have said he will review the the tolling of that road. But the foolish learner will make reckless statements only to find that the reality of governance is different and extremely restrictive. He should be asked how he intends to replace the lost revenue and continue with the contractual financial obligations pertaining to the concession.

No room for this learner in our state, such emotionality may work in one of our eastern states.
