A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro Tuesday promised to ensure the rapid development of abandoned rural areas if voted governor of the state in 2015. The former Minister of state, defence stated this during the formal commencement of his campaign which he tagged ‘walk with me’, at the National Stadium in Lagos.
Though he commended the administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola for running the affairs of the state in the last eight years, Obanikoro berated the administration for abandoning the downtrodden in the state
He said that it is time to upgrade infrastructures in the rural areas.
“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 is 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, the less I see. Any system that takes from the poor to benefit the rich, that system cannot be working for us.”
