Jimi Agbaje, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, has called on voters to end the reign of impunity and hooliganism in Lagos State with their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in the coming governorship election.

Agbaje who spoke against the background of recent troubling developments in the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC warned that Lagos State will not witness that great transformation it urgently needs if APC is allowed to remain in office.

“The trouble with Nigeria, according to the famous novelist Chinua Achebe, is leadership and I agree completely with him. So, we must quickly tackle this problem especially in Lagos State where we are in dire need of responsible and responsive leadership.

“This is so because no society develops when it gives power and responsibilities to questionable people. We can no longer afford to allow thugs and undesirable elements in strategic positions. These thugs should also not be allowed to be drivers of our vision during campaigns because they do not know what the issues are. For us as a government, our plan is to engage every idle hand and where necessary, rehabilitate those who need rehabilitation.

“Our government will not engage thugs who unfortunately, are also victims of poor leadership as hooligans at our rallies; this is not in our character. You saw them recently in their true colours when they disrupted the peace of our dear state.

“This is why we remain the only alternative. We are in this election without baggage because our records speak for us. We know Lagosians can vouch for us because they know the company we keep. We can never resort to violence over disagreement because we are responsible politicians who are in this contest to serve the people.

“I therefore urge the good people of Lagos State to be circumspect about the temperament of candidates as individuals and political parties. In this election, a lot is at stake, so we must join hands with peace loving people to rescue our state and bring it to where it rightly belongs.”

Correct talk

Indeed. Pdp also has its own thugs but they don't have as much influence as APC thugs in Lagos, ffk recently confirmed it. All politicians use thugs. Agbaje will only empower PDP thugs to displace the current ones. Virtually all politicians and political parties in Nigeria have loyal thugs on their pay roll.

Godfatherism must die in Lagos. Get rid of apc and watch Nigeria rise again.

Baba Agbaje go and sit down,you are using sweet talk to look for cheap vote you want to be like Angel to deceive people

Customer daada has spoken!

Do you know why Lagos State is the best State in Nigeria?!
Because it has NEVER been governed by PDP!

Wish you success sir

If only they will heed

All political stakeholders in Lagos state have their own thugs including you Jimi.

This man has come again lol. If he said boycott then we are talking....

Vote out the party of Mc Oluomo and co

Well said wish you goodluck at the polls.

Both APC and PDP have budgets for thugs, so none should be forming Saint!

This is the high season for thugs and politicians are their benefactors, anyone with high nuisance value can easily cash in!

It's been long I heard of Tokyo in Ibadan.

Tokyo would just be going in and out of prison like person dey go Bariga.

God help us

Agbajes comment that many youths are abandoning education for thuggery in Lagos is apt, when agberos like MC Oluomo, Koko Zaria etc can afford to send their kids to school abroad, go on holidays abroad, pay musicians like Teni to chant their names on hit tracks, given coverage by media, eat and dine with big politicians like Tinubu Aregbesola etc While professors are at home due to ASUU strike, what do you expect?
