My preferred choice happens to be noone other than this MUIZ BANIRE fellow. . Apart from being a three time commissioner he has introduced more innovations in nigerian governance than we are made to be aware of.

*He reportedly innovated the idea of LASTMA which we all enjoy today and is being replicated by many states-

*He reportedly innovated the BRT scheme which we all enjoy-

*He reportedly advised and executed the clearing of the Oshodi nemesis. . an achievement which is a pride of  Fashola

*He has reportedly planted over three million trees in lagos to fight climate change

From what i saw on his facebook page these achievements listed above are just a few of what he has done in this govt. .what wowed me most was his profile

I think were in for another wild four years with someone as deft as this guy at the helm of things. .no offence to Fashola , i love him. . .but i love my Lagos more.

adekampe:

I ve been telling people since that this Muiz is the only person that can take lagos to new heights after fashola. .the guy is like a robot and never gets tired. once i went for an event at NIIA where he was the special guest of honor and he unbelievably drove himself into the venue in a busted toyota corrolla without any police or aides. . he had taken his seat among members of the crowd and had organizers panicking as to whether he would show or not until one of them spotted the young technocrat somewhere amongst the crowd possibly making changes to his speech.
Personally i dont agreethat he will hand over the treasury to tinubu. .there is now ekiti and osun so tinubu wil let lagos breathe a little and muiz will have funds and that undying energy to work and work for a newer and brighter lagos

omobachi:

Lagos want fashola back for 2nd term, so tinubu and his boy muniz should back off.

appletango:

^^

And which one of his children are you??

Maxidoe:

Why should he automatically deserve a second term? what policies, projects has he executed that is benefiting the life of a common Lagosian.This is a man whose allegiance is not to Lagosians but to the Chief agbero of lagos state Tinubu. If the best Lagos state can get from leadership is in the class of Fashola, then i dare to say Lagos state will not witness any meaningful development in the next 30 years.Is it the bad leadership Nigerians have  experienced makes them think Fashola is  a people oriented Governor, i laugh in Chinese.I need you guys to reel out his major people oriented policies he has put in motion.Eko oti baje ton, Wake up Lagosians Fashola is a pretender another scam polician whose political godfather is the grand chief thug of south west
