He said this in response to a statement made by Sanwo-Olu that he found it hard to understand the rationale behind Agbaje’s #freeLagos mantra, and the allusion that Lagosians were in bondage. On his verified Twitter handle, @jimiagbaje, the PDP candidate said, “You make a very good point that we should not trivialize our lives. However, in all of your public statements in recent times, you have paid homage and obeisance not to Lagosians but to whom you refer to as National Leader for the opportunity to be a candidate. In effect, you couldn’t have dared to run if you were not handpicked to be endorsed.” Agbaje added, “Freedom is an opportunity for Lagosians to elect a governor that they can hold accountable, a governor that they can question and on whose table the buck stops. Freedom is running an open government where the finances of the state are not opaque. Freedom is allowing Local Governments to run as they should (a true third tier of government) and not as a mere appendage of the state. “Freedom is domestication of the Freedom of Information bill. Freedom is the ability of an elected leader to choose his own cabinet.” READ ALSO: Nigerians spend N1trn annually on foreign education —Prof. Ibidapo-Obe Agbaje also reacted to the issue of Igbo in Lagos, which the APC candidate addressed. Sanwo-Olu had debunked the notion that Lagos hates Igbo. He highlighted the roles that Igbo had played and are still playing in the politics and governance of Lagos state. In response, Agbaje said, “Oh yes, Lagos does not dislike the Igbo, your political establishment does. The royal utterance of 2015 is still fresh on the minds of the entire electorate.” More in Home Conservative MPs begin Theresa May confidence vote Agbaje is my ‘egbon’, I expect decency from him – Sanwo-Olu Electoral Act: Dogara, Gbajabiamila stop debate on Buhari’s letter UPDATE: UEFA Champions League tables CSKA dumped out of Champions League despite stunning win at Real Madrid (Visited 1,264 times, 1,264 visits today) DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON Receive Alerts on: Whatsapp: +2349090060943, Twitter: @MobilePunch, BBM: C003D3DC0 Share your story with us: SMS: +2349090060943, Whatsapp: +2349090060943, Email: FOREX, BITCOIN, BINARY ACCOUNT MANAGER. 37% weekly guaranteed Profit trading your Forex, Binary and cryptocurrency Accounts for you. whatsApp:08030797998. click here for details: www.standardfx.org AGBAJE SANWO-OLU Comments Read more Classic version © 1971-2017 The Punch newspaper NEXT ARTICLE Search Bar Search HOME JUST IN NEWS POLITICS METRO PLUS SPORTS BUSINESS ENTERTAINMENT COLUMNIST EDITORIAL SPECIAL FEATURES ADVERTISE
