Lagos people in all you do, just make @funsodoherty becomes your next governor.
The agbero situation is a multi-dimentional problem. The first step is: a government has to be elected outside of the agbero network that is not a holding to the agbero network, and then you will have the political will to deal with it... -Funso Doherty, Lagos State Governorship Candidate, NDC, addressing the agbero situation in Lagos State #LagosGovernorshipDebate #LagosDecides #NigeriaDebateConsortium

Anyone who believes that the government cannot put an end to the agbero menace in Lagos is deceiving themselves.

The debate fact-checkers called me out during the debate but they got it wrong. Precisely as I said in my opening statement, according to the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics data, Lagos does earn more IGR than 31 states combined: ₦1.77tn vs ₦1.73tn (NBS, 2025). An apology is in order I believe. Full list below. Source: microdata.nigerianstat.gov.n…

We are going to make healthcare absolutely free for mother and child; overtime it is going to be extended. The problem with our healcare is that the government, who are not putting in enough I'm healthcare are not making 'free' an 'absolutely free' How can a doctor in a government hospital see a patient then the patient will be directed to go 'purchase' medicals and 'pay for' tests and diagnosis and you call refer to that as free healthcare? HE Funso Doherty is what he says he is. NDC is Nigeria's New Dawn. A New Lagos State is Possible! @funsodoherty @PeterObi @NigeriaNDCHQ @ObidientUpdate @OK2027movement

Our policies are aimed at capacitating the people, giving them skills, ensuring that there is no child born in Lagos who does not get an education because their parents cannot afford it. We have said we will make education free; truly free. -Funso Doherty, Lagos State Governorship Candidate, NDC, speaking on empowering and providing free education for every child in Lagos #LagosGovernorshipDebate #LagosDecides #NigeriaDebateConsortium

Lagos State Governorship debate: - @drobafemihamzat has the most information about what to do and how - @GRVlagos only sees the problems. I guess he will figure out the rest when he removes those in power. - @funsodoherty is very calm, eloquent and solution-focused - I am not sure what Deji Doherty wants to do. . #LagosGovernorshipDebate #LagosDecides

We believe that Lagos is operating far below its potential, and as a result of that, you, Lagosians, are operating far below your potential, and your lives are getting more and more difficult. You pay your taxes, you pay endless levies and yet you are getting less and less for it. -Funso Doherty, Lagos State Governorship Candidate, NDC, speaking at the 2026 debate consortium #LagosGovernorshipDebate #LagosDecides #NigeriaDebateConsortium

The candidate of the NDC said he believes Lagos is operating far below potential, therefore lagosians are living far below their potential. He dolled up statistics and tales about how the IGR Lagos receives is too much and the taxes the government takes doesn’t reflect in the life of Lagosians. He also said one person has ruled Lagos for 20 years therefore they’ve had all the time to fix the issues in Lagos. #LagosGovernorshipDebate
