I've lived in surulere before shitta precisely and also aguda including bode Thomas.....

No politician has done more for his or her constituency like Gbaja, Surulere is arguably the best place to live in Lagos,in terms of good road network,light,water and other basic amenities...

I've never benefited from any politicians but let give kudos to who deserves it,This man really tried,I was surprised when I get to Lagos recently,all those low cost housing estate have been renovated and painted by him . like I always envisaged.

Well done Gbajabiamila

Nice

In the history of Nigeria, no politician has ever spent meaningfully on infrastructures in their constituencies the same way Gbaja has done to Surulere constituency. Not even a governor.
Only Ambode also tried similar to Epe but not up to what Gbaja did.
May he be blessed!

Godswil Akpabio nko? He really developed his town in Akwa Ibom.

is Gbaja taking over from Sanwo? These are governor-level projects.

Femi Gbaja even touched low-cost LSDPC housing estates in Iponri side. When I drove past the area, I was shocked. These are apartments that belong to individuals....Femi renovated everything for them. Wow. Anything in Surulere that belongs to the government or individuals tapped into....Femi retouched it again. Even the medium housing estate in Lawanson. Some individual houses that aren't govt built are touched too. He pumped money into the areas. This is to tell us that all the lawmakers and senators have enough money but they embezzle everything.

The one that shocked everyone was Desmond Shola Elliot. Mehn! Shola messed up big time. He will regret going there to chop cos he turned his back on the people who had loved him during his day in the movie industry. Shola messed up..big time.

Honestly I was impressed like, this man did what has been on my mind and expected from him..
In all honesty, he's the only politician,as far I'm concerned that I really respect a lot for now, including Alex otti of Abia,seyi makinde of oyo and babangana zulum of borno. They're exceptional.

Very commendable.

Ahmed0336:
I don't know why I have a feeling that Femi might succeed Sanwo Olu come 2027

It's not a feeling, it's cast in stone except if an act of God happens. Can't you see that Hamzat is so jittery and uncomfortable once he sights Gbaja.

even most projects that Elliot supposed to be doing, Gbaja did everything.... You can't see impact of that yeyebrity actor,he was just there chopping money,no significant project from him...God really blessed surulere people with Gbaja

Don't mind them

It's even a very simple case.

1. If he did all these and others before now with his money, what are other politicians/reps like him doing with their money for their constituency?

2. If he did all these and others before now with government money, same question is what are other politicians/reps like him doing with the government money in their possession?


The people asking questions should rather ask their own politicians and reps about what they are doing with their money using what Gbaja is doing with his money/govt money as a reference.

Exactly...

Where did he get the money to build Conference Centre and Hostels from?

Whatever the source of funds is, he did so excellently well and has proved to have a big plan for his constituency.

Abbeyme:
I don’t understand.

Did he build these facilities with his own personal funds?
So, who will administer these resources?

Ahmed0336:
I don't know why I have a feeling that Femi might succeed Sanwo Olu come 2027

He is already campaigning.

Honestly speaking Gbaja is the only good thing that can ever come out of this useless apc
The guy is something else , he should be an obidient…

Engineering4MFM:
Very yeye leaders..Na Nigerians go decide to give you honour by naming a project after one...E put he name there like say naim money he take doam...Out of the 100% stolen, you use only 0.1%. Now u nor won let us hear word...Criminal leaders...POSTERITY 'LL AVENGE ALL YOU NIGERIAN POLITICIANS, YOUR FAMILIES AND ALL YOUR ALLIES...FOR ALL THE PAINS AND THE BLOOD OF INNOCUOUS NIGERIANS...No wahala, make una continue

Very well said.

MrRemedyAlagbo:

Tell me what money you gave Elliot.

You are on point even Tinubu cannot be compare with him

I've that weird feeling too. Don't know what's cooking.

Did he use his own personal money or constituency money?

They are all constituency projects

Femi Gbajabiamila Hall of Residence, University of Lagos, Akoka.

Awesome!! This is the old El Kanemi Hall location I guess. So there's no longer El-Kanemi Hall again?
Thank you Hon. Gbajabiamila. God bless you.

With about 16states that I've visited in Nigeria, this guy is the best rep so far. I will drive through Surulere at night and I won't be scared of any unknown, virtually all roads are tarred with working street light courtesy of him

Pls what is my own rep doing ooo?
Bro wasiu @ akinyele/ Lagelu..IBADAN

Ahmed0336:

I don't want Femi to be governor because :

1. Gbaja has been in goverment for over 16-20 years, make another person run abeg

2. I Think Ikorodu people will feel short change

3. Lagos governors are usually from civil service


I think there are capable people who can have a shot :

Muri Okunola
Hamzat

But all these things are permutations.. Na GAC go determine the next governor.. Na them dey run things

Great job. Well done to him. Many of our other politicians should follow his example kudos to him.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I really love the man personally. He is serving the humanity. And never stop doing so. And I know God always reward every man in accordance with his or her deeds. He will reap whatsoever he has sown in 100 folds.

Surulere lucky to have someone like GBAJABIAMILA as the son of the LGA. His impact is felt throughout the neighborhood and beyond right from the day he stepped into the public domain.
GOD BLESS HIM

GOD BLESS LAGOS STATE


GOD BLESS ALL YORUBALAND

For those asking about the source of funding, it is FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Legislators engage in what is now called "budget padding". They insert constituency projects in the budgets of MDA, whether it's relevant to the entity or not. On the one, the practice is quite wrong because it deprives federal projects of the needed funding and makes state governments lazy to deliver their mandates. On the other hand, the legislator is looking for ways to please his constituents, in order to boost his political career.
In essence, it's a telling effect of the failure of Nigerian federalism. For many decades, governors have been stealing billions denying the citizens the basic amenities. The legislators discovered the gap and have now transformed "lexecutives" juggling both legislative and executive functions.

Do u know that Gbajabiamila will be the next governor of lagos state after Sanwo Olu?
Do u also know that Tinubu's son Seyi will be taking a first shot into elective or appointment position from Next four years?

Keep these predictions and watch it play out.

Goodvibes007:
Beautiful.

And where is the kwara state governor in the picture?

Learn to appreciate good politics if u see one. Though I understand dats the primary responsibilities of all politicians. But the fact dat he is using the resources to develop his constituency and not embezzling like majority of his colleagues. Give kudos to him

Abbeyme:
I don’t understand.

Nigeria is definitely not a poor country, if only one individual can carry out all these projects..
