The Lagos State African Democratic Congress, ADC, governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, said the state has lacked the government that prioritizes its people in the last two decades.

Rhodes-Vivour said this in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Wednesday.

He was speaking on the 2027 governorship election in the state, stressing that the election should not be about propaganda and false narratives but realities.

“Our Lagos has never lacked the potential, geography or human capacity to be one of the greatest cities in Africa. What it has lacked in the last two decades is a government that consistently puts its people first.

“This 2027 election should be about realities. Real impact does not need propaganda. Lagosians should be able to feel the impact.

“It means breathing cleaner air. Walking streets free of mountains of refuse. Roads that don’t become pothole ridden obstacle every rainy season.

“Emergency services that save every life, not just those who can afford them. Schools that prepare our children for their present and their future.

“A transport system that respects your time. Taxes that work for you. Our Government should make life easier, not harder due to their incompetence. Competence over theatrics. Service over slogans. Results over mythology,” he tweeted.

A supporter of President Bola Tinubu in Kebbi State, Adamu Yahaya, popularly known as Adam Fakai, says he has stopped promoting the Federal Government’s programmes, claiming he received no recognition or support from leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Fakai became popular on social media for visiting major Federal Government projects, including road construction sites, and sharing photographs, videos, and reports showcasing the Tinubu administration’s achievements, earning him both criticism and, at times, praise.

In a statement posted on his social media pages, Fakai said: “I have spent more than two years using my money, time and energy to promote the programmes and achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to Nigerians in both the North and South. I did so because I believed in his efforts to build a better Nigeria.”

Fakai said that despite his commitment, he did not receive any encouragement, appreciation, or support from APC leaders in Kebbi State or at the national level.

“I am from Kebbi State, and throughout this period, I never received any form of encouragement or support from politicians in my party, either at the state or federal level,” he wrote

He further claimed , “It is unfortunate that some prominent figures at the federal level use the pictures and videos of government projects that I captured and shared, yet none has ever contacted me directly.”

Fakai added that he believes he might have received more support if he had come from another state, saying the feeling of being ignored influenced his decision to stop promoting the administration.

He, however, thanked those who supported him with prayers and words of encouragement.
