African Democratic Congress (ADC) has lamented the existential crises in Lagos State, saying it would institutionalize a new paradigm of leadership to benefit Lagosians.
The ADC governorship candidate in the state, Funsho Doherty, said this during the unveiling of his deputy, Mrs Giwa Amu, on Friday that he consulted widely before picking his running mate and expressed his joy to have her on board to help push the State forward.
Doherty also expressed his concern over existential crises in Lagos State, and added that Lagos had not attained its full potential with her enormous resources, saying that residents were still facing hardship on roads, healthcare, education and unemployment and assured that a new paradigm of leadership will be institutionalized.
“I am very excited to be joined in ticket with a distinguished personality, someone who has served the state, party and communities in the state.
“Public office is a sacred trust on behalf of the people. The vast resources must be brought to bear in improving the lives of the people, rather than concentrating it on the few.
“Lagos must work for all residents. We are moving the state from a third world to a first world. We are bringing a new era. We are not intimidated.”
“Those we have put in charge of our resources on behalf of all of us have betrayed our trust. We have failure in leadership.
“Public Office is a sacred trust on behalf of the people. The vast resources must be brought to bear in improving the lives of the people, rather than concentrating it on the few.
“We want to bring a new paradigm of leadership and that is our mission.
“ADC has a candidate and duputy candidate to back up the message it is bringing.
“We are bringing in a new thing. Lagos must work for all residents. We are moving the state from a third world to a first world. We are bringing a new era. We are not intimidated.”
