Yesterday’s Lagos Governorship Debate. APC - Dr Kadri Obafemi Obafemi Hamzat (KOH): Clear understanding of the Workings of the System, Experienced (Private sector and public sector), Clearly the Experience is a major factor for his knowledge, he acknowledged there are things to improve upon and also protecting the progress made over the years. PDP - Engr Adedeji Doherty: Acknowledged plans and efforts of the current APC-led Administration in the State including commendation (which made the audience laugh) and promised to improve on it, acknowledged gaps and he has also has some quite “ambitious” plans, eg Bridge to Marina from Kara (6th or 7th mainland bridge) ADC - Gbadebo Patrick Rhodes Vivour (GRV): Prepared more for the Debate than reality, acknowledged he doesn’t have experience (by comparing himself to Baba Lateef Jakande and others), tried to use punchlines to ‘win’ the debate, not too clear understanding of the system, made ‘funny’ promises: 4 rail lines in 2 and half years, 100,000 housing units in 4 years, self contain for every graduate etc etc NDC - Funsho Doherty: A bit more underwhelming from his previous outings, lack of information on issues raised generally. Talked about the State Govt for tackling FG on EIA for Lagos Coastal Road alignment (KOH tackled him tho), Complained of Agbero issues and the only solution he gave was building ‘Skill acquisition centers’, the State has 19 officially, with a massive one at Berger, maybe he doesn’t know. #LagosDebate #PBATKOH2027 #TheLagosPromise
