I took part in the Lagos State Governorship Debate and used the opportunity to share my vision for Lagos and speak about the practical steps we intend to take to improve the lives of our people.
Leadership is about understanding what matters to people and making sure our plans respond to those needs.
Healthcare remains a major priority. I want to expand Ilera Eko from its current 1.4 million enrollees to reach one in every three Lagosians. We will complete the Massey Childrenโs Hospital, Ojo and Somolu General Hospitals, expand capacity across our nine general hospitals and strengthen our primary healthcare centres, with more operating round the clock. This will go hand in hand with better training and welfare for our health workers.
I also spoke about making homeownership easier for more families. Beyond completing our ongoing housing estates, we will introduce a more accessible mortgage system that allows people to spread their payments over several years.
On transportation, we will stay the course with our rail development plans. The Blue Line will extend to Okokomaiko, while the Red Line will connect to the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts at the National Theatre.
These are not just promises about projects. They are about giving families better access to healthcare, creating more opportunities to own a home and making daily life easier for people across Lagos.
This is what The Lagos PROMISE stands for:
P for People First.
R for Renewal.
O for Opportunity.
M for the Machinery of Government.
I for Inclusion.
S for Security and Resilience.
E for Everyday Dignity.
These seven pillars guide our commitment to putting people at the centre of governance, creating opportunities, improving infrastructure and building a Lagos where everyone has a chance to live a better life.
I remain committed to listening to Lagosians, building on the progress we have made and delivering a future that works for all.
@egi_nupe I now know what it means to be a PhD holder, his presentation was unique, the acronyms of his manifesto was understood
P. R. O. M. I. S. E, the last Es' explanation got me salivating (I. e everyday dignity) it's all encompassing and inclusive
Kundus to you Hamzat

Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour says that, if elected, he will cancel the Fourth Mainland Bridge project and introduce cable cars from Ikorodu across to Ajah instead, alongside 6km bridges.
But Ikorodu currently has only one major outlet connecting it to other parts of Lagos, apart from travelling through the Lotto axis towards Berger.
Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, on the other hand, says he will deliver the Fourth Mainland Bridge within his first term, as it is a major priority in his manifesto.
The project is an expensive one, estimated at $2.5 billion, and will therefore be tolled to make it financially viable and bankable.
For context, this is a 38-kilometre bridge project, designed with nine interchanges to connect several major corridors and communities across Lagos State:
โข Lagos Island/Lekki-Epe Axis: Starting from Abraham Adesanya in Ajah, passing through Lekki and Langbasa.
โข Lagos Lagoon Crossing: Spanning a 4.5-kilometre section across the Lagos Lagoon.
โข Ikorodu Axis: Traversing Baiyeku, the Igbogbo River Basin, Itamaga, Itoikin Road, the Ikorodu-Sagamu Road, and Owutu/Isawo in Ikorodu.
โข Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Axis: Connecting towards the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway around Ojodu Berger.

๐จ ๐ก๐๐ช: Arsenal have a 74.88% chance of winning the Premier League this season, as per Opta.
It would be the first time they win the Premier League consecutively.
Saliba - signed in 2019
Gabriel - signed in 2020
White - signed in 2021
Timber - signed in 2023
Calafiori - signed in 2024
Rivals act as if Arsenal built their defense overnight.
Weโre not Man City. We donโt take shortcuts.
Exactly accurate. Football before COVID was the Free Eats era where only 2-3 teams were rich and smart enough in each league to do something.
The Premier League, with its huge revenues and sharing model, finally ended the duopoligarchy.
The Havertz Contract Situation Conundrum.
Havertz will enter the last year of his contract at the end of this season. I know Arteta is doing absolutely everything in his power to make sure he gets a new contract, which is exactly why heโs even playing him more than he should. But Havertz keeps providing reasons why he shouldnโt get a new contract with his poor performances.
Physically, heโs washed. Heโs been struggling with injury issues for the past three seasons, and heโs also not good enough for the ยฃ300k he earns per week. His all-round play has been poor, as have his movement and finishing.
Thereโs no better time for Arsenal to dispense with him than now. Time to upgrade to a younger striker with a higher ceiling.
Haaland is playing like senior man, he no wan stress.
Enzo is playing like senior man,he no wan stress.
Cherki is playing like senior man too
Gvardiol is playing like senio man too
How we wan take win matches?
