When this administration removed petrol subsidy, it swore to invest the savings in infrastructure, public education and healthcare. It didn’t. Instead, they have spent on insatiable vanities and white elephant projects that only massages their ego. That is why Atiku Abubakar’s plan to halt the immiseration of working people and increase our purchasing power by leveraging subsidy as industrial policy has become increasingly imperative.

Seeing police families evicted from their homes in Ikoyi on Thursday, is a reminder of why I’m running to protect the dignity of working people. Clearly, Lagos now runs an apartheid housing system where capital reigns over dignity. Working people are now being pushed farther away from the city they sustain with their labour and treated as if they have no right to live within the metropolis. Housing is no longer treated as a public good or a social necessity. It is treated purely as an instrument of profit and return on capital. A city cannot function when the people who keep it running are banished from it. We need a Lagos where working people can live with dignity, where public housing is protected, where urban development includes the poor and middle class instead of erasing them. Where the measure of governance is not how many luxury towers we build, but how many human beings we protect. A city belongs not only to the rich who can buy land, but also to the ordinary people whose labour keeps the city alive every single day.

In March alone, Eti-Osa received nearly ₦2 billion from FAAC (₦1,943,613,804.20). Yet when a tree fell and blocked traffic for three straight days at Bishop Oluwole street in VI, not a single local government official was anywhere to be found. Now, I’m told a few men with cutlasses from Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency - LASPARK are doing everything they can to clear the road. Local governments in Lagos are badly misgoverned, with little to no accountability to the people. Does Eti-Osa look like a local government that has received almost ₦25 billion in one year, excluding IGR?

Excited to have finally delivered on this mini project in Odo street at Obalende. Although it seems quite small but it meant a lot to the mosque and the people on the street who constantly have to buy water. We also renovated the toilets and provided extra taps for public use. Adio ni o!!

It’s really amazing how enduring some of the ideas Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has campaigned on since 2019. He’s now arguably the most consequential opposition figure in Lagos since Funso Williams. This is him talking about the BRT lane with Jola in the video below.

I don’t think people fully appreciate just how hopelessly arrogant and insensitive the APC has been. The Lagos State Government increased the cost of BRT fares by 15% in the middle of an energy crisis that was already squeezing household incomes from every direction. If a state like Lagos, with its enormous revenue base and with more resources available to it following the removal of the petrol subsidy, cannot absorb some cost of running public transportation, procure new buses, or at the very least cap fares on fewer than 500 buses, then what exactly is government for?
