The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 elections, Jimi Agbaje, on Tuesday, expressed confidence of victory in the 2019 governorship election in Lagos State; thus, he is optimistic of succeeding Governor Akinwumi AMbode on May 29, 2019.

Agbaje, at the 2018 The Future Awards Africa in Lagos, remarked that the he has all it takes to defeat the incumbent government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and bring the PDP into the government of Lagos State, stating that he has high hope of becoming Governor of Lagos State in 2019.

“I have high hope of becoming the next Governor of Lagos State because I have promised to bring character, knowledge and many good economic policies that will help Lagosians to the table.

“I want to address the leadership lopsidedness in Lagos and establish a good leadership structure that will be enduring to all. We want to address the major issues in Lagos.

“I also want to see how we can change the narrative on the infrastructural facilities by reducing traffic on our roads; the traffic on the Lagos roads is getting worrisome.

“The major thing is that our children should get quality education from primary to the tertiary institutions. I also want to establish skills acquisition centres to provide jobs for our teeming youths,” Agbaje declared.

The PDP governorship candidate stated that he would concentrate on fundamental economic and social policies that would transform governance in the state when elected governor.

“I hope to also address the water system in Lagos state which is far from what it used to be. There are many issues to be attended to which by God’s grace the solution is not far-fetched. I will concentrate on the social and economic policies to move the state forward,” he added.
