Lagos has focused on policies that favour only the elite — Rhodes-Vivour

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Lagos State governorship candidate of the Africa Democratic Party (ADC), has claimed that the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) created policies that focused on the elite for over twenty years rather than on residents in rural communities.  Rhodes-Vivour stated this at the governorship debate organised by the Nigeria Debate Consortium in Lagos on Sunday, November 8.  He went further to state that Lagos celebrates high IGR, yet people are not experiencing it.  The governorship candidate promised that the ADC government’s policies would focus on the suffering residents of the state.  He pledged to introduce over 100,00 housing units and make them accessible to all.  He said that his administration would make the state safer and cleaner for residents if elected in the 2027 general elections.  He added that his administration would ensure that flooding would no longer be a problem as the government would initiate technology-driven policies that would allow people to live in a safer environment.  “All of us are experiencing the damage that has come from bad governance that has been endemic in this state for the last 20 years,” he said.    “We want a cleaner Lagos. We want a safer Lagos. We want a safer Lagos. We want a more affordable Lagos, and we want a Lagos that works for everybody, not just the privileged few.”     The post Lagos has focused on policies that favour only the elite — Rhodes-Vivour appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
