Musiliu Obanikoro yesterday declared his intention to be the Governor of Lagos come
2015 at his declaration event called "Walk With Me" at the national stadium. Koro as
he is called also declared enough of spending billions of Naira on Ikoyi while other
local government areas in Lagos such as Agege, Alimosho and Egbe have not seen any
development since 1999. He promised a period of even development and people oriented
“We have seen billions spent on sand filling our waters, we have seen billions spent in repairing Bourdillon road and I believe it is time for a new change. I believe it it time for government to spend billions on upgrading infrastructures in Alimosho, in Shomolu, Kosofe and other parts.
“A greater Lagos is where hard working families can be successful in Lagos and where the down-trodden will be benefit from government. We must all stand together to ensure that we have a new and better Lagos. A new Lagos where the masses of the state will not be left out. That is the kind of Lagos that I offer in 2015.
“The more I look, I less I see. Any system that takes from the poor to benefit the rich, that system cannot be working for us.”
He further explains Lagos belongs to no man.
“Lagos belongs to all of us, we are going to put an end to an era where Lagos belongs to one man. Power comes from God. I am going to ensure that my wealth of experience, having served at all levels of government, will come to bare in May 2015 and I will ensure we have a constructive engagement with the Federal Government ofNigeria. I don’t know of any mega city in the world that has managed its affairs on its own without the involvement of other tiers of government.”
“I will use my wealth of experience to work with the National Assembly to ensure that we create a better Lagos for the people of Lagos to fast tract our development. I want to urge the people of Lagos to stand with me to ensure we achieve that greater Lagos,” he said.
