LAGOS 2015: WHO HAS THE “HEAD”?


Sayo Aluko



The race for who succeeds Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola as the Governor of Lagos State come 2015 has entered top gear. It's already an open secret. Without any doubt, argument, and/or weightless jabs of eccentric sentiment, considering the fact that the 15-year reign at the helm of the then Alliance for Democracy (AD), then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and now All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state has been distinctively exemplary, it shouldn't be far from sane that continuity of purpose with what this platform offers, is the best option come 2015. Continuity of purpose and not just the overused and propagandist cliché of "change" muffled by some bruised interest groups. .



As expected, an avalanche of names have sprung up from different coffers, politically-minded groups and spurious political permutations, each rightly or otherwise, touting one or two these names as possible successors.

LAGOS - As 2015 Beckons…

Come May 29, 2015, all things being equal, a new Governor will be sworn into office in the landmark state of Lagos. And, to say the least, the jostle for that mantle of service, has been massively intriguing, thanks and no-thanks to the many unnecessarily extensive, spurious and politically-motivated calculations and permutations going on in various coffers.
