Our fight to #SetLagosFree has never been about attacking personalities or individuals. Any one who thinks that is ill-informed. This movement is about attacking a mindset and a system that has enabled a cesspool of corruption.
A mindset that takes for itself the resources meant for the commonwealth & places it in a few hands. It is about standing up against self-established principalities that work against the ingenuity of our youth & opportunities for them to dream in ways that none of us can imagine
It is about putting aside whatever little differences have separated us in the past - faith, language or political affiliation - and coming together to forge a new order that would guarantee a future not just for us but for our children.
Every generation is presented with an opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives forever. After 20 years of being under this ruling party in Lagos, it is clear that they have reached their wits' end when it comes to new ideas.
In the same breath, we are now being presented with a chance to reshape Lagos in the image of ordinary men and women - and not one man.
I decided to run in this election because it is clear to me that Lagos needs more help than ever. But this time the intervention wouldn't just come from top-down but from bottom-up knowing that the electorate alone must decide where we go from here.
I have always maintained that this election is not just another popularity contest rather it is a clear choice between two ideologies: one that enslaves our a capabilities as a collective by putting the interest of a few over many.
And another that will embrace openness and transparency as a first step to meet the yearnings of the greater good of the people of Lagos.
Only time will tell what path the people will eventually follow.
Only time will tell what path the people will eventually follow.
As for me, it is my honour to be on this journey again. As I go around Lagos canvassing and asking for your support, I look forward to being inspired by your zeal and your stories as much as I hope that you are inspired by mine.
I'm confident that, working together, we can bring about the emergence of the Lagos of our dreams.
