Lagos is the only state which the PDP had not governed in the South-West since the Fourth Republic began in 1999.

Let it be like that till the world comes to an end. PDP should go to place like Delta State and the rest. Thank you

Even Delta state deserves better than PDP.

the difference is that pmb is taking a serious step towards a greater tomorrow,
A journey of a thousand mile start with a bold step.

Many of the hard decision today is for a better tomorrow.

The most popular candidate the PDP should field that WILL SURELY defeat Gov Ambode is a man called Akinwunmi Ambode.

Oops, he is already the sitting governor and also APCs standard bearer.

Sorry

Sterling performance of building bus stops?
With trillions in budget yearly?
Are you joking or seriously joking

Yeah, world-class bus terminals, low interest loans for Lagos SMEs, flyovers, bridges, increasing IGR, free/subsidized human capacity development opportunities for Lagosians, a one of a kind emergency response system, and many other infrastructures which I am sure you are aware of, but that inherently dishonest PDP tendency of yours won't allow you to acknowledge these. We are talking about a man with a vision to take Lagos to heights that no single PDP governor can match. If na lie, please mention one single PDP state that can match Lagos' developmental vision. We don't want Lagos to turn to another Rivers that is retrogressing without vision under its current state leadership. Anyway, if you are so sure of yourself you are free to go and contest against him next year. undecided

Why are you comparing Ambode to PDP governors?
Are you afraid to compare his failure to the excellent job done by Jakande, Mobolaji Johnson and even Awolowo?

How can a step backwards be towards a greater tomorrow?
Buhari’s decision to reinstate and promote Maina the pensions thief whom Jonathan had sacked and declared wanted by EFCC, cannot be for a better tomorrow.
Buhari and APC are monumental errors that must be corrected in 2019!

in a civilised climes,

It will be a one party system,

Both the PDP and APC can nominate him as their sole candidate,

That kind thing can still happen in my state, Edo state. Because they is no PDP in Edo state,

That can also play out at federal level because PDP don't have candidate

Why won't I compare him to PDP governors? No be your PDP wan replace am again? Abi you dey confused? Ambode is holding his own even compared to those people you listed. Jakande is remembered mainly for the housing estates he left behind, Mobolaji Johnson also did his bit, Awo has done his bit as well but I won't even compare Ambo to them because he might surpass some in the areas of infrastructure, and he is not even done with his first tenure. Ambode has attracted billions of Naira worth of businesses and industries into Lagos and is continuing to increase the state IGR as well as improve its infrastructure and service delivery. Why didn't either Mobolaji or Jakande or Awolowo open up Lekki-Ajah-Epe the way they're being opened up today? Why didn't they build the new bridges and infrastructure Ambode is building today? The reason is because government is a continuum and Ambode still has more projects that are coming on stream. Those people did their part, but they didn't do it all in their tenures. Ambode is working in line with (and adding to) a developmental blueprint that his predecessors developed and handed to him. Why can't any single PDP state replicate what Lagos has been able to achieve since '99? Yet you want Lagosians to hand over to those baseje people that have nothing to show since '99? You better move to Rivers or some other PDP State that tickles your fancy because Lagosians have rejected that party.

A source, however, who preferred to be anonymity, said the party was in a dire need of a candidate that would first be accepted by vested interest in the party and be presentable to Lagosians as an alternative to Ambode. C dem, vested interest...meaning he is to serve vested interest and not the people....Ambode, carry go joor. Who God has blessed, no man can curse. Ambode till 2023, then to Abuja...Ambode, the best thing to happen in my generation. God bless u sir.....

If we should follow personality instead of party like u rightly claimed, then I think Ambode has done well even as his party has failed woefully at the center.
PDP shouldn't waste their money because I don't think they have a chance.
The right question now should be, who will they even bring that has 15% popularity without a dirt in his past?

Recruitment of teachers and school monitors plus light rail.


Oh come off it, Seguno2!

The delay in the rail project has nothing to do with funding. Contrary to your point, the light rail project is on-going and continues to be funded by all the parties involved.

As for employing more techers/monitors, personally I am totally against the state bloathing the civil services. Particularly in fields in which the private sector is already doing much better.

Consequent to the above points, please note that the Lagos State government is doing just fine in the eyes of majority Lagosians.

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

What % of Lagosian children were enrolled in government schools during Jakande’s administration?
What % of British children go to government schools?
How many Britons are queuing for visas to arrive in Lagos and do menial jobs of clearing gutters to avoid flooding etc?
How many Lagosians and Nigerians, including our president are running to Britain for different reasons

Wow. It took you almost 24hrs to rebut my post. cheesy. Sotay you had to go and dig up a list of Jakande's achievements in office, AND YET YOU STILL FAILED to mention one model PDP government that can convince us to give them a chance in Lagos?? Is it that bad for PDP?? It is not Ambode's job to build another LASU, LTV, Radio station, or Assembly complex like Jakande did simply because there's no need for any of such presently. His government, just like his immediate predecessors, is maintaining and expanding the infrastructures he met on ground, while doing his part to complete the ones he inherited and also initiating his own projects. That is continuum! I have already listed a few of Ambode's achievements in his three years at the saddle (achievements that YOU refused to acknowledge in your PDP-induced bitterness and hatred for him), many of which Jakande did not do in his own time. Ambode is a man of vision who has great ambitions for Lagos -- he is not even thinking of Lagos competiting with other states in Nigeria but with other countries' economies. That is Vision! Unfortunately for you, while you are allowed to hate Ambode, you can do little to nothing to stop his reelection. That you refuse to acknowledge his achievements is your problem, but as you can see from this thread itself, your likes are in the tiny minority and therefore inconsequential. Sorry. undecided
