The Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje, has described his All Progressives Congress counterpart, Akin Ambode, as lacking the experience to lead the state.
Agbaje, in a statement obtained bySaturday PUNCH on Friday, described Ambode as “lacking requisite experience in governance.”
He said Ambode’s twenty-year experience in the public sector was a mockery of government.
“For about two decades out of his 27 years experience in government, the APC candidate could be said to have experience deficit,” he added.
Agbaje also said the parlous state of the local government system in the state was responsible for the lack of impact on the lives of the people at the grass root level.
He also accused the APC as being responsible for local government failure and turning the institution into a political apparatus for advancing the interest of the party rather than for developmental purposes.
Speaking in the Ajegunle and Makoko areas of the city on Friday, Agbaje reportedly said that several years after obtaining a $10bn (N1.9trn) loan for slum development, nothing had been done to change the face of slums in the state.
He promised to ensure the development of such areas in the state if elected.
“Let me also charge those of you that have not collected your PVCs to do so at your registration centres. Also ensure that you wait behind so that your votes are not manipulated. If you do this, victory is assured,” he said.
