HIS MANIFESTO:
I am Joseph Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje, I am and have been many ‘Me’s in this life – a pharmacist, a politician, a father, a husband and a leader; yet today… I come to you as a servant, a servant of this great State of ours; and I invite you to join me in building this Lagos, Our Lagos, together in the next four years.
I have always maintained that irrespective of religion, tribe or political affiliation, at the end of the day, each voter must ask these basic questions: “Which candidate’s plan adequately articulates my interests and dreams as well as that of my family? Which plan offers me a chance to get ahead in life? – which could be starting a business, or attending and completing school with the possibility of getting a job, or accessing better healthcare for you and your loved ones, or simply being treated with dignity and respect as a human being
Without prejudice or guile, I’m confident in my vision for Lagos and in our ability as a people to move this State forward in a fundamentally new direction. A direction that exalts the welfare and prosperity of ordinary people over the narrow and selfish world-view of “vested interests”. This is why today, I am proud to present my MANIFESTO to the people of Lagos.
