Labour Party Governorship candid ate, Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has pleaded with Lagosians that he offers the best option for a greater and better future for all residents irrespective of the tribe, tongue or affiliation.
The governor who said this in a broadcast to mark the end of campaign yesterday, adding that Saturday’s election was “a decision about the collective future “we share as a people.”
“The decision is about who can best secure our state, our future and our upward trajectory
He said, “Social justice is extremely important for us, it is one of the pillars on which we are going to build the new Lagos and social justice to us is also all about restoring the value for the Lagosian lives and this comes with monitoring, this comes with consequences and enforcement. This even goes to hospitals where you can bring a person, but they just watch this person dying in the reception, to act effectively because they are no consequences to medical negligence.
“We are also going to make the DPP, Directorate of Public Prosecution robust, and there will be commission under it that will outline places that you can call to report police brutality and any incidence like this, medical negligence, police brutality. And any issue that challenges social justice.”
Despite widespread protests two years ago against the police’s controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), police brutality in the country is far from gone.
The Lagos we are building, with your support, is a Lagos that welcomes ALL, and provides endless opportunities for all to thrive, succeed and prosper. To those we may have offended in the course of taking tough decisions to keep our State on the path of law and order, I ask that you please forgive us. We do not lay claim to perfection or infallibility.
