The Deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Funke Akindele has said that Lagos has not shown anything worth celebrating with the daily revenues it collects from the residents of the state.
Newsonline reports that Funke, popular Nollywood actress said the time has come to deliver the commercial city of Nigeria from a few who have converted Lagos treasury to personal affair.
Jennifer Diary actress said 2023 is a time for all residents of Lagos to get fresh air by voting for her and her principal, Azeez Olajide Adediran, to bring the much-needed development the state lacks as a result of being in bad hands over the years.
The movie producer turned politician said, “despite how indispensable Lagosians are to the state, we are yet to enjoy the dividends of our contributions to the wealth of the state. We still do not have anything to show for the revenue we generate and boast of. This has to change come 2023.”
Funke added that the time has come for Lagos to work for the Lagosians who are taxed daily by the present All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by Babajide Sanwo-Olu and not the few that have held the state to ransom.
The scrip writer said, “It is time to change the narrative. It’s time for Lagos to work for Lagosians and that is the true meaning of Lagos4Lagos. It is time for a breath of fresh air. It is time to vote Dr. Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor) for governor.”
The PDP Lagos State deputy governorship candidate further defined Lagosians as all those who have businesses, works, and houses and who school and contribute to the state treasury.
“Who are Lagosians?” she asked. “Lagosians are those who have businesses, work, and school in Lagos. “They’re taxpayers and residents of Lagos at large.
“Lagos belongs to this set of people regardless of ethnicity, class or age because they are the driving force of Lagos as a state. These people are pivotal to the socioeconomic growth of the state and are instrumental in fulfilling the mandate of actualizing the Lagos of our dreams which is to be a true “mega city.”
Funke further said, “It is time for a breath of fresh air in Lagos. We crave your indulgence, please give Jandor and me this chance of handling the affairs of Lagos state and we promise we will make you all proud.
“Your vote is your right! Vote Dr. Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor) for Governor. A leader who will govern in the interest of generality of Lagosians without seeking second-level approval or perpetually feeding the insatiable wants of an individual with our common patrimony,” Funke pleaded with Lagosians.
Recall that the popular Nollywood actress on October 19, was in Alimosho in Lagos one of the biggest local governments in the state to seek their vote ahead of the 2023 general election.
Finke called on the voters to liberate themselves from the shackles of mismanagement and bullying which the present APC-led state government of Sanwo-Olu had put all the citizens of the state.
