Widow of slain front-line Lagos State governorship aspirant, Engineer Funsho Williams, Hilda, has formally declared to contest the 2007 governorship elections in Lagos State on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Williams said her decision to conttest stemmed out of her desire to continue with her late husband, Funsho’s vision.

Declaring in Lagos yesterday, she said “people wondered why a grieving widow should plunge herself into politics, is it impossible to stop grieving the loss of such a great soul?.

“But as the saying goes, if your house is on fire, you put aside your sorrow; forget your pain for the moment while you put out that fire."

, lagos politics is all about greed, selfishness and backbiting,
Lagos need someone in the mould of marwa,akhigbe,

I think they need to have a televised debate session for them to properly articulate their desires for LAGOS, NOT SENTIMENTS, THIS HOUSE IS FALLING, sorry , i mean sinking!!!!!!!!!!!

do u think everybody fits into your stereotype? my friend, u are highly mistaken.

there are credible candidates among the aspirants. agabaje, pedro, to name a few. you cannot say because the person is a household name he surely must be corrupt.

their track records speak fro themselves. agbaje comes from a very respectable family in the corportate sector- his father was d chairman of guarantytrust bank, arguably nigeria (and mybe africa's) best bank ever. his pharmaceutical company, jay kay, is one of the most trusted in nigeria

femi pedro took a bank that was negative 300million in profits to over 6 billion profits in the space of 4 years (1998 to 2002). he is the one who created mobile banking with his innovative "flash me cash" that we all use to send money to others by our phone.

before you start lambasting candidates, do you bloody homework.

, this is not about issues of lambasting or home work, what has that got to do with objectivity, i am AC/AD all the way, Tinubu promised all in 1998/99, go to lekki,yaba and see for yourself, the truth is that these fellows are just interested in the perks of office, so that people like you will continue to adore them or rather follow them albeit blindly,
Lagos state needs someone who is selfless,a commited hard worker and at the time a statesman, i am sorry we are yet to get there, next year is around the corner,i will be vindicated, by the way what has flash me cards got to do with roads and security in Lagos!!!!!!!!!!!!!
