Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter, on Tuesday said it would be a herculean task wresting power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos during the forthcoming governorship elections.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the candidate of the APC will square up with Jimi Agbaje of the PDP and other candidates in the governorship election.

Speaking with Daily Independent, Dr. Adegbola Dominic, the state chairman of PDP, said while he was confident that PDP would terminate APC’s rule in the state and liberate Lagosians, he was aware that it would be a daunting task, given the firm grip of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the state.

According to Dominic, aside the fact that the APC controlled the state resources, it was also using security agencies, especially the police, to its advantage.

He said: “It won’t be easy, given his firm grip on the state and the fact that they have been in power since 1999.

“They are in control of the state and local governments and they also have the resources of the state at their disposal. But we have the people on our side and that is the confidence we have.

“Also, when you consider the high rate of poverty in the land, they will want to resort to vote-buying. They also control the police in the state and at the national level.

“We all saw what happened in Osun State. It was the security agencies versus PDP and they will want to do the same in other places, especially Lagos, but we are prepared for them.

“We are also appealing to the police to be impartial in all they do. If they are impartial, there is no question about it, PDP will win.

“We are talking to the people and giving them the message of hope. The APC are master riggers. We all know they rigged the last governorship election in Lagos State but that will not happen anymore. So, we are telling Lagosians to get their PVCs, vote wisely and shine their eyes.

“On our part, we will tighten all loopholes and ensure every vote counts. We will make sure APC didn’t succeed with their rigging this time around. I am very positive that this time around, the time is up for APC in Lagos.

“The good people of Lagos are determined to kick them out. Look at what is going on in the town; bad roads and filth everywhere, yet people are being heavily burdened with tax.

“People are unhappy with APC rule in Lagos and they are seeking a credible alternative. I can assure them PDP will provide that credible alternative in 2019.”

Dominic also lamented that its campaign for the elections had been greatly affected by the destruction of its billboards and posters by APC supporters.

He, however, said the PDP would not respond in kind but appeal to the police to call those behind the nefarious act to order.

“It is very worrisome and it has greatly affected our operations. We are now very cautious about posting posters.

“Some people have suggested that we should also organise our people to start destroying their banners and posters but that is not in our character.

“We have complained to the police to warn them not to destroy our posters anymore and we hope they will listen and stop. But we are not going to retaliate,” he said.

Do you know why Lagos State is the best state in Nigeria?

Because it has NEVER been governed by PDP!


.............. ..................... ..................... ...............
PDP in Nigeria?!
Never again!

Best state ke? A state that is under APC rule (and variants) for 20 years and today is the THIRD WORST CITY IN THE WORLD. Best state ma black behind! The jazz strong

This is because the Yoruba's can do anything to protect their own even if he is a serial thief.

ALCOHOLKILLS:
lagosians don't want liberation, why waste your time and resources

how are those liberated under Abia and Delta stare fairing


calling PDP a liberated party is just like calling bokoharam charity group

These two stares you mentioned have always been under PDP. So what do you mean by liberation?

Lagosians are like the kings of suffering and smiling.

I went to Festac from V.I on a Saturday and it took me 3 hours to get there and 4 hours to get back.

What about Lagos-Badagry road and a host of others?

People are out there suffering in traffic for hours, crying, having to reduce the amount of sleep they get simply to get up early enough to beat traffic or late enough.

yet these same people, crying everyday, will be shouting Jagaban up and down, sigh...


Why should APC even work in Lagos?

I'm sure they don't even care anymore, since they feel like Lagos is for APC, so no matter how they govern it, they trust a gullible people to always re-instate them.

If APC in Lagos thought there was anyway they would loose elections, they would have finished that Lagos blue and red Rail line that has been abandoned for eons.

Go back to your home state so that we true lagosians can return to enjoying our state again. Dem take lagos curse you people?

Don't mind the idiot. The bad roads in the East are killing Igbos but you won't hear his ilk say anything about that. All their concern is on Lagos.

Festac belongs to the FG. Badagry Road is an international road neglected by the FG and only being reconstructed by Lagos.

Blackfire:
PDP will win ....



Check the last govnorship election, just a little margin...



Tinubu is not all that.

They wasted billions of dollars, and also intimidated lagosians with Opc, and police but they lost. Now those two machineries are no more available.. So game up for pdp

Karrima:
My first comment on Nairaland. Good to be here.

welcome Karrima...

What he said on lagos being dirty is true.

The whole country is filthy

Gutters are so stinky

Oga go and check your records, when did Lagis start paying back debt? On which budget? Oh you meant loan servicing? And the bonds? Pls wake up.

kaypling:
Again nothing wrong with debt, paying back is what’s important. Lagos State pays their debt. I’m not sure What maturity date you’re waiting for? These loans have been due at different times cos they were gotten at different times. You guys should worry about other states. Lagos is still the best performing state in Nigeria.. period!

Maybe you can show me on the budget where they include the loan repayment not servicing.

And APC didn't spend dollars during the election.... Oba akiolu threatening anyone who voted otherwise.....

kaypling:
So one man is feeding the state with the most millionaires/billionaires in Nigeria? Interesting! Abeg let him keep feeding. He’s feeding them so well that every single hour people are running away from their own state where no one is feeding them to come to be fed by this one man. These ppl voluntary leave their hometowns to come to be enslaved by Lord Tinubu, na wa o. Maybe Tinubu is using charms to draw people from their states to come to Lagos since all the states not under the control of Tinubu must be like paradise.

can read all this! Being a state with millionaires have no meaning! Even igbos are rich but okorocha acts like he’s boss! It’s not about being rich... lagosians are slave my hereditary and birth! U guys have it in u.

好的

But your abia ebonyi and huge oil delta and beyalsa supporting pdp with No sign of development.You think yoruba are mumu follow a wastefull pdp and leave Apc making things work in lagos.
If pdp is doing half of what apc is doing here in lagos your sisters won't be running here to do ashewo and ur brothers hawking gala and throwing dirty all over our city.
Leave us with our Apc face your pdp government in east that's why all your road's are bad.

....

Lagos was Liberated by Tinubu from the clutches of savages on his arriving into the then nascent democracy.
Today Lagos is truly enjoying lofty Freedom as a centre of excellence and role model to other states and even FCT,and growing as a mega city on Tinubu master plan working so well. These are Legacies of Tinubu,so haters keep off Lagos. Long live Ashiwaju Tinubu, our Living Legend of Nigeria and Africa too

Hahaha.. You know naa

Hotfreeze:
We don't want PDP in Lagos, let them remain in the SE.

Look at what PDP has turned the SE into. Who wants that kind of backwardness in Lagos?

Those Igbos hating on Tinubu are only doing so because they feel if Tinubu is taken out of the way, the progress of the SW would be hindered.

You get the drift, olori buruku ma nwa eni kun ara won ni.
PDP manage Lagos?, NOT IN MY LIFE TIME.
O ti ndara ko ni baje.
Eko o ni baje lai lai.

Agreed but Tinubu too should take things easy

The only problem you faulted in Lagos is rather due to the astronomical numbers of people especially the economic refugees from Biafra. If they could enjoy their PDP controlled states no body would be having congestion in lagos

people supporting buhari are insane and they need real medical check up..quote me at your own risk

What yeye masterplan? Tinubu is just an opportunist! Lagos will grow irrespective of who governs it. Finally compare Lagos with other world mega-cities not the rest of the states in the country.

Lagos is essentially like a country on its own!

I wonder, time for AAC African Action Congress and Sowore's boys..

are all of them not the same thing? what stop them (fela and co) coming together to form a formidable force

martowskin1:

Nonsense, Sowore himself addressed this issue.. Fela and Co are linked to the main parties like PDP and APC.

Also they said they dont want to be too rude to the elders. Sowore asked why not??

I agree with him are not all the Elder generation Thieves..

Nice try we the youth are no longer afraid or fooled by your lies. AAC it is and Sowore as President..
