Someone asks if Gbadamosi can stand by his statement that the cost of the rail line was inflated.

He says that he is a card carrying member of APC but he'll tear his card if Gbadamosi can stand by it..

Gbadamosi said that he will stand by it

Someone says that on one hand Gbadamosi says that anyone who pays taxes in Lagos is a Lagosian, but

Later he accuses the APC of bringing people from Ondo and other places to be senators in Lagos.

How can you square that?

He said that the policemen invaded the school looking for students of the federal college of education.

He said that the policemen even beat Professor Jadesola Akande (who was the VC then) because she came to ask them why they were attacking her students

Gbadamosi said that he was attacked by policemen in Lasu in March 1989 and that's why he left the school.

He describes the horrific attack in detail.


(I suspect that this was during the 1989 SAP riots).

He would have died if a mobile police commander did not see the pickup truck that he was in and demanded to know what was in the truck

I need to take a short break

A caller asks about the Badagry Expressway. It's in a terrible state

What will Gbadamosi do about it

Disu says that there are tweets that Fela Durotoye will step down.

He asks if Gbadamosi will step down. Gavadamosi says he doubts it.

Disu asks if others will step down for him.

Gbadamosi said it's possible

He talks about rail lines that he will build from Badagry with exit points at Berger, etc.

Each exit point will have a wharehouse and tank farm.

If you want to pick up your goods, you can pick it up at the exit points (they would have been brought there for you).

You will pay a fine if you insist on driving to the ports.

He will also have liter terminals and goods will be moved by barges.

He said heavy goods will only be moved by road at night

Disu asks him about the tankers

Including Oko Baba

He says that he will also regenerate the area.

He won't take their sawmills or drive them away, rather he will build whatehouses for them at a cost that they can afford

He says that he will ask the house of assembly for money to buy RORO catamaran ferries.

He is listing places that will have jetties for the ferries

He says that every division of Lagos should have an LSWD yard

LSWD = Lagos State Works Department.

They are talking about traffic

He says that the people's needs are not being met.

People need education for their kids, healthcare, water. This radio station is being run on a generator at the moment

Jimi Disu tries to pin him down on whether Agbaje is part of the talks and Gbadamosi said that disgruntled APC members are talking to them.

Disu asks if Fouad Oki is part of the discussions and Gbadamosi refuses to name names

Thank you

Gbadamosi says that they are currently in talks about a coalition.

Jimi Disu tries to pin him down on whether Jimi Agbaje is part of the discussion.

Gbadamosi says 65% of the PDP are talking to them.

Gbadamosi said that the info is obvious.

He said that the governor appointed a successor (he's referring to Tinubu and Fashola).

He said that Tinubu was on TV and said, "If the doctors don't want to work, Tunde sack them". He said that the man called the governor Tunde.

He said that we can see with the way Ambode was unceremoniously removed that he wasn't in charge.

A caller says that Ezekwesili has stepped down for a coalition.

He says that Gbadamosi is a son of PDP and he has spoken well.

He said that Buhari didn't succeed until he joined a coalition.

(He is hinting that Gbadamosi should form a coaliton with PDP).

He also asks why Gbadamosi hasn't released the information that he has so that voters can make a choice

Jimi Disu says that he sees Gbadamosi as an activist.

Gbadamosi says that he is not an activist.


Jimi Disu says that he remembers when he used to go to Facebook and Gbadamosi's posts were always being shared.

Gbadamosi says that there are hard truths that must be told.

Disu says that those posts got him into conflict with the security services and he was detained.

He asks how long he was detained and i think Gbadamosi said that it was 9 months

MuttleyLaff:
You forgot to add that he worked also as a higly qualified IT consultant in the UK

I didn't forget. They are speaking very fast so I have to summarise to keep up. You can help me by posting what you hear

They are on a break.

This is a good time to say that a recording of the entire show is usually on Jimi Disu's blog a few hours after the show and I will post a link to the recording once it becomes available

He said that he originally thought that there might be a reason for the discrepancy, but his investigation shows that there's no reason for the discrepancy and he intends to write to the Chinese Government about it.

He says that there is a descrepancy in the cost of the Blue Line.

He said that the former governor gave a value, but the contractor gave a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and provided a completely different value of the project.

Jimi Disu asked him if he is a builder. He said no. Disu then asked him what he studied.

He said that he studied law in Lasu, but he didn't finish. He had a traumatic experience that almost cost him his life.


He said he worked in the real estate sector in the UK and he listed other sectors that he worked in in the UK

He says that no contractor will be able to bamboozle him.

Jimi Disu asked him if he thinks that's what's happening.

He said that he's being polite. That he doesn't want to believe that that the government deliberately hoodwinked the people.

He said he knows the cost of a tonne of granite, he knows the culture of truck drivers, etc and no contractor will be able to bamboozle him.

He says that Jimi Agbaje is not qualified to be governor.

He says that Agbaje has not been in government. He is a pharmacist.


He says that he is a builder and that he built an estate, Amen estate, that is like a mini Lagos.

He says that he has provided 24 hours water, electricity, etc at the estate for 8 years and he wants to do the same for Lagos

He says that the projects have been truncated by greed. He says that he has information that he will release later

Jimi Disu asks him what makes him think that he will win.

He said that Lagosians are tired. He said there have been 20 years of promises.

He said they have promised the Lekki coastal road, the Lekki airport, the 4th mainland bridge, etc and none of them exist today

Jimi Disu said that he hasn't seen Gbadamosi's posters.

Gbadamosi said they started posting posters 2 months ago. He said that other parties pasted their posters over his posters.

He said that it was an opposition party that pasted over his posters.

Jimi Disu said that it was his former people that pasted over his posters (referring to the PDP)

Call 08092220913 to speak to the candidate

Gbadamosi said that he has had a lot of support since the debate.

He said that young people have been volunteering and people are pasting his posters.

He said that his posters are appearing in places that they haven't even been.
