The gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos for the 2019 elections, Jimi Agbaje has promised to bring fresh ideas in the governance of the state.

Speaking on Sunday during a debate for candidates in the March 2nd governorship election organised by The Platform, a non-governmental initiative, Agbaje said: “I will bring character to leadership in Lagos” while promising to tackle the issue of traffic by deploying enhanced technology in running the traffic light system and the menace of waste using a ‘recover and recyle’ approach.

Towards solving the traffic issue, he explained that by getting the local councils to work again, pot holes can be fixed while exploring the options of multi-layered roads and a functional rail system.

“If you want to address potholes, then you have to have a local government. It’s not from Ikeja that you determine where potholes are in the suburb of Lagos State,” he said adding that “the idea is to have even development across Lagos state so that you are having less of movement from one end of Lagos to the other.”
