April 11th, Hot Tussle Btw APC Vs PDP In Lagos State Gubernatorial Who WINS ? by produce(m): 10:19pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
Who will emerge as the winner of the 2015 Lagos State Governorship Elections? While many still bask in the euphoria of the recently concluded Presidential Elections, won by General Muhammadu Buahri of course, in less than a week, millions of Nigerians will again elect our leaders at the state level. Out of the 36 states in Nigeria, Lagos state is one of the most important states in Nigeria, infact Lagos is widely regarded as the Commercial/Economic heartbeat of the nation, with a population of over 18 million people. Enough respect to all the political parties contesting, but from all indications, the race for the Alausa Round House will be a straight fight between PDP’s Jimi Agbaje and APC’s Akinwumi Ambode. The then AD, later AC, ACN and now APC has been in power in Lagos state since 1999, meaning, Lagos state is one state PDP has never won, and in this years polls, PDP presents a very strong candidate, Jimi Agbaje, who is no new comer to Lagos politics, as he has tried to get into the seat of power in Alausa. In 2007, following his failure to clinch the gubernatorial ticket of the then Action Congress (AC) following the anointment of Babatunde Fashola by former governor Bola Tinubu, he defected to the Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA) where he flew the party’s flag in the 2007 Governorship election in Lagos state. DPA obviously being a weaker platform and with his face conspicuously missing on the ballot he came a distant 3rd behind Fashola of the AC backed by the incumbent at that time Bola Tinubu and Musiliu Obanikoro who was heavily backed by the federal forces of the PDP. Jimi Agbaje will be coming up against All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Akinwumi Ambode who aims to take over from the arguably one of the best governors in the country, Babatunde Fashola. Recently, 10 candidates withdrew from the Lagos governorship race and called on their supporters to vote for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode. The ten candidate who relinquished their gubernatorial ambitions are candidate Accord Party, Adeshina Buruji; Independent Democrats, Obadia Akinola; Action Alliance, Ishola Aregbesola; and Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Babatunde Sarumi. |
