Barely six months
to the 2015 general elections, the age long battle between Lagos state and
Federal government is again rekindled as the People Democratic Party
demonstrate a renewed efforts to capture Lagos .While the state’s ruling party
APC is bent on retaining and maintaining the state’s unbroken political
records.

| Jimi Agbaje |
To maintain the status quo, a number of politicians from APC
 | |
| Dr. Leke Pitan |
 | |
| Akinwunmi Ambode |
On the other hand, the People Democratic Party with the backing
of the Federal might are still scheming
on who will represent the party between Jimi Agbaje who recently defected to
the party and Dr. Ade Dosumu who represented the party in 2011 gubernatorial
elections.
 | |
| Senator Gbenga Ashafa |
However, the personality of the APC kinsmen announcing their
readiness to contest against Dosumu or Agbaje is becoming a subject of concern
in the state. It would be recalled that the two PDP favorites were defeated by
Babatunde Fashola in 2007 and 2011.
It is also worth mentioning that Fashola did not lose the
2007 and 2011 gubernatorial elections because he was presented by the ruling
party to contest against veteran politicians like Musiliu Obanikoro and Jimi
Agbaje. No, his personality, profile and the leadership quality he exuded during
electoral debates also got him the peoples’ nod.
