Why we need guys like Ganiyu Solomon to lead Lagos State.

2015 is a very crucial year for Lagosians mainly because after the excellent work of BRF (Babatunde Raji Fashola), the next leader has huge shoes to fill.  Just like in 1999, when Nigeria could have taken huge leaps towards economic prosperity but instead Obasanjo dived the country further into corruption and poverty; we are the crossroads again in Lagos.



As the rumors have started pouring in regarding who will be the next leader of Lagos, I can't help but shake my head at some of the names that are being mentioned here.  Names like Ikuforiji who is currently on trial for money laundering and stealing from the Lagos State people to the tune of 7 BILLION Naira.

Lagos must take a stand and only elect people who have not only paid their dues by serving the state but also have no history of corruption allegations.  And the name that comes to mind for me is the current Minority Whip of the Senate, Ganiyu Olarenwaju Solomon (GOS).  He was once  a local goverment chairman, then House of representatives and currently a senator in the fourth republic 

It is early to call and we will be waiting to see the aspirants but we must be very careful and not fall prey to the machinery behind ACN and then have them impose a candidate on us for their own benefits.

EKO O NI BAJE...........
