Former Lagos State Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje has scored the Lagos State Governor’s achievements low compared to expectations.
Speaking with People’s Gazette, on Saturday, Agbaje said the achievements that Sanwo-Olu spoke about during his Monday press conference on Saturday were only imaginary.
The Governor told newsmen that he has not disappointed Lagosians on his campaign promises since assuming office in 2019. He said he had met the expectations of the people of Lagos State in transportation, infrastructural development, education, health, revenue generating and security.
Rating Sanwo-Olu 3 over 10, Agbaje said that, “that they wrote, they did not substantiate it. They were things done in their imagination.”
He added that the government has not done enough in fighting covid19 saying that, “You are not testing, you are not giving vaccination to people. Those that have collected the first round of vaccination, they are yet to get the second round of it.,and how many people have been vaccinated in Lagos State ?
Concerning the rising rate of theft, robbery and other crimes in most parts of the state, he asserted that, “even in security, we cannot drive during the day without being harassed in traffic by hoodlums. They are operating morning, day and night. You introduced curfew from 12:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., what about during the day time? Phones are being snatched, so what are they doing about all these?”
The PDP chieftain expressed disappointment at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for wasting its 21 years in power in the state.
Asides the yet unsolved traffic gridlock usually experienced in many parts of the state over the years, Mr Agbaje was also bothered about the state of the education sector in Lagos saying, “most of our classrooms have no benches and chairs. They mentioned that they are building schools somewhere, what are they building? Some of the things they have said that they are doing, they are in their dreams.”
Mr Agbaje called on the governor to attend to abandoned infrastructure in the state like the Badagry express road while giving the government knocks for investing ” the last 24 years on Ikorodu road.”
He accused the government of lacking transparency due to their refusal to make budget spending public.
“When did they balance their last budget? They only read the budget to us, they don’t tell us how they spend what they spent. This government is not transparent about anything,” he noted.
Jimi Agbaje’s comments have attracted public backlash from people who believe he “hibernates” and only resurfaces during election cycles.
