Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Jimi Agbaje has called on Lagosians not to despair, but to hope for the very best as the year ends.
In his New Year message, the PDP candidate who also called for unity, stated that his optimism comes from the fact that Lagos State is ready for the needed change and “freedom from the government of a few.”
Agbaje said: “This New Year offers us another opportunity for deep reflection. There could not have been a better time than now to take the right steps because we can actually determine where we want to be next year by the choices we make in the forth-coming 2019 governorship election which is some weeks away.
“We are stunted by inefficiency occasioned by poor leadership. So, it is not surprising that we have not made corresponding progress since 1999.
“But all hope is not lost. This message of hope is what I bring to every person living in Lagos State. This New Year is unique because it offers us a good opportunity to bring about that change that we seek.
“Therefore, as we campaign, please engage us on the real issues. Ask us how we plan to improve your life in the next four years.
“And for those who have served you in the last 19 years, ask them what they did with all the resources that came their way. Enjoy your holiday and have a prosperous New Year,” he said.
