For The Good Of Lagos State! Be Wise!!! by BANKYBOI: 8:06am On Apr 03, 2015
Dear Lagosians,‎
It is inconceivable that anyone who lives and does business in Lagos will toy with a PDP Govt in Lagos, thus making Lagos an opposition party State to the Federal. Our President elect Buhari needs Lagos to showcase his achievements. It's like giving your best child away to your enemies. This should and must not happen! 
Can't see an Agbaje working in Lagos within his first 2yrs. All they will be doing is witch haunting and dissipation of energy on Tinubu, Fashola and others just to discredit them, while the good people of Lagos suffer.‎
 Lagos is a Mega city and we don't want to be the recipient of desperate bandits/returnees from Abuja! 
Lagos with a road map developmental plan till 2025 should not be stifled! Imagine what Lagos would have been by now if the outgoing PDP Government had worked in sync with the State Govt in the last 16 years. Just imagine!!‎
Therefore pls let us fully mobilize our contacts, family and friends to vote massively for Ambode (APC) on April 11 and let's see for the first time the wonders that will be achieved with Lagos and Federal under the same party. We need to finish the change we started.

Welldone Lagos for voting PYO.. Next vote Agbaje for the people of Lagos. Yoruba problem is not GEJ vs GMB. It is EURO-ARAB-CIA-ISIS influence and interest in Nigeria. Our three major tribes are still bungling, using religion to address our majorly illiterate citizens. Let us educate our people properly, give them focus and correct orientation in national development.

There is no argument in Agbaje 's favour. He simply cannot match up with Ambode's wealth of experience. Let us not make the mistake of our lives by voting the wrong person. #APC!!!!!

Lagosians,
Lagos state Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN on
Wednesday congratulated General Muhammadu
Buhari of the All Progressives Congress on his
declaration as the Presidential –elect, saying what is
most important now is about building Nigeria.

Does this not give us a sign that since Mr Babatude Fashola also wants a change and progress in Lagos state since he is presently still the Governor of lagos state, so my people let's do Fashola and Tinubu wish, this people have really worked hard campaingning around town, its not easy and the man himself Akinwunmi Ambode himself is not relenting, so my people let's splash our vote on Akinwunmi Ambode as the Governor of Lagos State.....we don't have much time wo wait for, we need progress, and continuity in the good works in lagos state and we can all do this by voting for the right person which is Akinwumi Ambode

#No APC No PARTY

My fellow lagosians,
The lagos you want, is it the one full of curruption,the one filled with hatred,the one filled with sorrow,the one that lacks good security that no one is ever safe to go out and get ba home to his family?etc. NO!!!! Am sure no one wants that kind of lagos, the one everybody wants is the working type,the one that never lacks electricty,the one filled with job opportunities,the one that never lacks good roads,the one filled with a lot of resources and good securities,
so my people let's not vote to the detriment of lagos state, let us vote wisely, and the person that can give us this great work and progress in Lagos state is Akinwunmi Ambode and no one else, we all know that.


So all we lagosians need to do is to go out on the 11th of April 2015 and shower Akinwumi Ambode with our votes for progress and continuity in the good works already done by Ashola

Continuity is at the core of why Akinwunmi Ambode is the right choice for Lagos State Governor in 2015. Lagosians want a leader who will continue the reforms and good work of the past administrations in the state.

These are the reasons why you should vote Akinwunmi Ambode as your governor.

POWER

All of us will attest to the poor power supply that we’ve experienced on a national scale.
In spite of the challenges, Lagos State has been at the forefront of independent power supply. On March 8, we launched the 8.4MW Peninsula Power Project, in partnership with Peninsula IP ltd.  This IPP will join the other 5 IPPs built over the past few years, helping Lagos generate & maintain its own reliable power sources. Legally, we are unable to send the power to the national grid but these IPPs powers utilities such as water works & street lights. This way, water supply will improve, street lights will stay on longer and homes & businesses will experience fewer downtimes. Furthermore, the Lagos State Energy Board has an Energy Academy where young Nigerians are trained as workers in the power sector.The govt of Akinwunmi Ambode will ensure that these projects are maintained & expanded to support the development of Lagos. In terms of bold ideas, not many ideas as bold as ensuring the energy independence of West Africa’s foremost economy.

TRANSPORTATION

Ambode’s vision is provision of an efficient, safe & reliable integrated Multi-Modal Transportation System for a sustainable economic growth. As at 2014, Lagos had 1.2m vehicles registered in the State, over 2m vehicles passing through.

We have roughly 224 vehicles per km of road. In contrast, New York has 24 vehicles per km. That’s challenging.We have delivered over 33,000 road signs since 2007. We’ve also constructed medians & improved junctions.We have delivered over 33,000 road signs since 2007. We’ve also constructed medians & improved junctions.

We’ve increased the number of traffic lights by 400% in the past 8 years and 600 zebra crossings.

LASTMA means that Lagos gets better transport control.  LASTMA employs over 2500 people working in 3 shifts.

Lagosians are responding to LASTMA! Violations have REDUCED by 12% in the past 2 years. Driving against traffic by 50%. As a result of legal enforcement, voluntary road worthiness checks have increased by 16% and drivers license requests by 125%.

Okada has been very controversial. It has been banned in about 20 states – mostly PDP States. We have only restricted okada operations on 475 of the 10,000 roads in Lagos. That’s less than 5% of roads.

Some challenges remain – for example, Apapa, which has been under persistent gridlock. Apapa’s gridlock is the product of bad roads, wrongly sited tank farms, mismanagement of Lagos port operations as well as other factors. The PDP Federal govt is expected to have reconstructed roads in the area but till date has not. No contract has been issued for Creek Road, Wharf Road and the Apapa-Oshodi road contract has expired since 2013. In contrast, APC’s Lagos State government is rebuilding 11 inner roads in the area.

INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE

Lagos’ Internally Generated Revenue profile is incomparable in the whole of Nigeria for a few reasons. First, it is not created by any form of natural resources/extractive industry but by human capital. Second, it did not exist 16 years ago. Many Nigerians today call for fiscal federalism – the idea that states & regions should pay their own way instead of depending on Abuja. In the long run, this is desirable. It promotes responsibility and spurs development by forcing regional govts to think. Many point to the dwindling oil price and the resultant reduction in federal allocations. Most states are struggling with their bills. Some of you will remember that Lagos has faced this situation before – when the PDP federal govt witheld LGA allocations over a dispute. Most state govts would have buckled under the pressure; but we felt that Lagos must determine its own destiny without any intimidation. We also realised that, to achieve the level of devt required in Lagos, we would need a budget far beyond any Federal allocation. Lagos has a lot of economic activity. If govt has more revenue, we can invest in development which would create more economic activity. In the 16 years we have been in govt, IGR has moved from N14bn in 1999 to N263bn to 2003. That’s roughly a 1900% increase.  Increasing the revenue has been hard work – we’ve worked to implement and collect pre-existing taxes & levies. We’ve also used Public-Private Partnerships such as LAWMA collections to improve services while generating revenue. Today, Lagos stands in the enviable position of being the state with the highest IGR – incl. oil-producing states. Lagos is proof that Nigeria’s true potential is not in the ground, it’s in the people above the ground.

Akinwunmi Ambode was a critical part of designing and executing this process as Accountant-General. He has the experience to continue growing our revenue and lead Lagos to complete financial independence from the Federal allocations.

In light of all this, should we allow Jimi Agbaje and the PDP derail Lagos from the road of progress? Or should we continue to build out the future we want with Akinwunmi Ambode? Take a stand today for Akinwunmi Ambode. The road will be long, but together we can achieve this.
