The governorship candidate of the
Alliance National Party (ANP) in Lagos State, Ladipo Johnson, has said
Lagosians deserve a better deal ahead of next general election, adding
that his governorship aspiration is in consonance with a pro- people
philosophy that would put the interest and welfare of the people ahead
of other agenda.
In a statement sent to THISDAY
yesterday, Johnson said his leadership would usher in a new lease of
life that will give every indigene and non-indigenes a sense of
belonging that would ultimately lead to a prosperous Lagos.
He expressed concern over the traffic
situation in Lagos metropolis and environs, noting that “traffic
congestion has become so unbearable and government must rise to the
occasion especially during this yuletide season.
According to him, “I feel the pulse and
pains of my people. They deserve a better treatment and we are going to
pursue this by creating a conducive environment that would be backed
with sound policies and programmes that is pro-people.
He urged Lagosians to imbibe the spirit
of Christmas by sharing love among themselves and reflect more about
those virtues that unite than such undesirable issues that divide the
people.
“It is by so doing that the quest for
unity of purpose in the development and upliftment of the state and
indeed the people can be realised.
“The prevailing economic situation in
the country will give way to a new lease of life when the people also
embrace a more unifying and purposeful leadership with the right
policies and programmes that put the people first as a necessity.”
