The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, has said next year’s election will be a battle
between forces that want Lagos to continually remain in slavery and
those that want to ensure prosperity for all.
Agbaje stated this in a message posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
“It is clear to me that Lagos needs more help than ever.
“But
this time, the intervention wouldn’t just come from top-down but also
from bottom-up knowing that the electorate, not any one man, would have
to decide where we go from here as a people.
“This election is
not just another popularity contest; rather it is a clear choice between
two ideologies: one that enslaves and puts the interest of one man over
many or another that, at its core, seeks to meet the yearnings of the
greater good of the people of Lagos,” he wrote.
Agbaje’s major rival in the polls, will be Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sanwo-Olu
received the backing of the party’s National Chairman, Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, to defeat incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, during the
primaries.
