Jimi Agbaje, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the governorship of Lagos State, said during a debate with other candidates last night: “Our people, who are indigenes of the state, must appreciate that it is the contributions of other people who come to Lagos that make it tick. Lagos is a cosmopolitan city, where everyone should have a space, but, that does not detract from the fact that indigenes of the state would be relegated.

“I will ensure an affirmative plan of action or policy is put in place to ensure, at least, 25 percent of opportunities coming from the state are reserved for the indigenes.”

It is shocking that a candidate from a major party for the governorship of Nigeria’s most important state, in terms of contributions to the economy and the most cosmopolitan state in the country, would either be so brazen in proposing illegality or be actually ignorant of the fact that what he is proposing is unlawful.
