Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, says Jimi Agbaje,
his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, has nothing to offer the state.
Sanwo-Olu said this when he
featured on Morning Digest, a radio programme, hosted by Jimi Disu on Lagos
Talks 91.3FM
Sanwo-Olu accused Agbaje of
lacking in basic knowledge and practical ideas to drive governance of Lagos.
Agbaje had said he would deliver
Lagosians from bondage and bring them freedom.
Commenting on Agbaje’s campaign
theme on freedom for Lagos, Sanwo-Olu wondered why in the 21st century Nigeria,
a gubernatorial candidate will build his campaign strategy around freedom.
He asked if Agbage thought the
state arrived its status as a mega city by magic, adding that conscious effort
was exerted to put the state on its pedestal as the 5th largest economy in
Africa.
“This fellow (Jimi Agbaje)
doesn’t just have anything to offer Lagosians so the only thing he could think
of putting on the table is freedom. Freedom from what? Are we in bondage in
Lagos?’’ Sanwo-Olu asked.
‘’Do you think it is by magic
that Lagos state assumed the enviable position as the 5th largest economy in
Africa? No. People worked hard to get the state to this level and they continue
to work harder for the state to surpass its current feat. What freedom is
anyone talking to us about?”
Speaking on environment and waste
management, Sanwo-Olu said his government would address the issue of waste from
homes.
‘‘We must start waste sorting
from our various kitchens at home. We will be heavy with advocacy on the use of
yellow, blue and black bags for organic, plastics, bottles and domestic waste
items,” he said.
“This approach will help with
pick-ups. This will automatically help in our drive towards waste to wealth.
‘’We plan to run an inclusive
government, where every stakeholder will have a voice. We intend to listen to
every citizen as part of our decision making process. A Lagos where everyone
will have a sense of belonging.”
