Lagos governorship hopeful, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has outlined his promise to Lagosians ahead of the 2027 general elections, vowing to deliver high impact governance that residents will feel.
In a statement released on Thursday titled “Dear Lagosians, This is my promise to you”, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 elections said his administration would not mock citizens over the challenges they face.
“I will never in any language tell you to live in your parents house as an answer to the expensive rents and housing deficit,” he stated.
Instead, he promised to work tirelessly to deliver 100,000 units of housing that are not only accessible but truly affordable, while enacting laws that protect tenants and creating an agency to investigate and enforce said laws.
On traffic, GRV said: “I will never in any language tell you that Traffic is a lifestyle.”
He promised to deliver the entire rail network in 2 years by opening the project to private sector procurement.
“Our focus will not be how to pad or steal money it would be on making movement in Lagos more effective and affordable,” he said.
On environment and waste management, the candidate said he would never claim ignorance of the volume of waste generated in the state, nor ask residents to return to their villages when they complain about the state of the environment.
“We will rid the waste management system of the corruption and racketeering that has left Lagos covered in filth. We will create a waste to energy and waste to wealth value chain. We will build out proper sewage processing facilities and empower local governments to participate in waste management,” he assured.
He added that under his watch, no public official would boast about expensive watches while many Lagosians struggle in poverty.
“My promise to you is high impact governance, actions you will feel, because Actions speak far louder than words,” he concluded.
