APC governorship candidate in Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, pledges to push more funds into education, health and social services if elected. Read More: NigeriaDecides2019 LagosDecides Nigeria

Currently, we do about eight per cent budgetary allocation to education. We will see how we can push it up to about 15 percent in the next four years. Same with health, too; we need to cover a lot of the vulnerable and poorest of the poor Lagosians under our Health Insurance Scheme. I believe that if we do well in education and health we will be guaranteeing the future of our children and Lagos State.I didn’t sign any deal with anyone.

Your main rival, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has based his campaign on ‘freedom.’ Do you think that Lagos is being remotely controlled and needs to be freed from a godfather? If the PDP-led Federal government had allowed us, we would have completed the rail project a long time ago and transportation challenges would have been better for commuters in the state. Also, we’ve had problems securing approvals to build jetties. The PDP-led FG refused to give us permit to build jetties for our people. Thankfully, the APC-led Federal Government of President Buhari has given us approval for the Red Line and we hope to work better with the FG in some other areas like housing.

You talk about your projection for Lagos State. What do you think helped President Muhammadu Buhari to win re-election?
