The Peoples Democratic Party 2027 Lagos State governorship candidate, Adedeji Doherty, has said the successful implementation of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda depends largely on Lagos State, insisting that the PDP is better positioned to translate federal policies into tangible benefits for residents.
Speaking during a media briefing in Abuja on Thursday, Doherty argued that despite being Nigeria’s economic and financial hub, Lagos had failed to adequately complement federal initiatives in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, power, transportation and security.
He said, “I wouldn’t want to say too much today, but I want to let you know that we will challenge the sitting government in Lagos. Even though, yes, they might be in power, definitely, in my sojourn and political journey in Lagos State, the Centre of Excellence, there will be no leader in any substantive party in Lagos State who will say they do not know Engineer Adedeji Doherty. We have contested as aspirants through the years, consistently for more than a decade, and we have shown capacity and strength. Leaders in any political party will not be strangers to Engineer Adedeji.
“We are going to play as a team. We are going to play fair and square, and we are going to bring out the things that we believe the people of Lagos State need. We are going to focus on the youth who are coming after us and on the environment.
