Gbadamosi Blasts Lagos, Declares 2027 Opportunity To End Stinking Lagos

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Deputy Governorship candidate in Lagos State for the 2027 elections, Babatunde Gbadamosi, has described the forthcoming poll as an opportunity for Lagos residents to use their votes to demand better leadership and improved living conditions.

Gbadamosi, who made the remarks during an interview with Vanguard Politics Hub, said Lagosians have the power to determine the direction of the state by choosing their preferred leaders at the ballot box. He also presented the ADC as an alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which he accused of failing to adequately address some of the challenges confronting residents.

According to Bush Radio Academy, Gbadamosi argued that there are no guaranteed outcomes in politics, stressing that the ultimate decision rests with the electorate. He urged Lagosians to carefully consider the performance of successive administrations and decide whether they want a change in 2027.

“There are no certainties. There are no givens. It’s down to the people to choose what they want,” he said.

Drawing comparisons with the August 2026 governorship election in Osun State, the ADC chieftain said voters in Lagos would similarly have to determine whether they were satisfied with the current political direction of the state or wanted a new approach.

He criticised what he described as persistent challenges involving water supply, waste management and environmental sanitation, arguing that Lagos residents should assess these issues when deciding who to support in the 2027 election.

Gbadamosi claimed that millions of Lagos residents continue to experience difficulties accessing water and dealing with waste, using strong language to describe what he sees as the poor environmental condition of parts of the state.

“We have 25 million Lagosians. They have to make up their minds whether they want to end the era of no water in the taps; whether they want to end the era of refuse everywhere,” he said.

He further argued that the election should not be viewed simply as a contest between political parties, but as an opportunity for residents to demand accountability and practical solutions from those seeking public office.

Gbadamosi also criticised politicians whom he accused of placing greater emphasis on appearances, speeches and political rhetoric than on addressing the everyday problems faced by Lagos residents.

“They have to decide if they want to keep seeing agbada after agbada on their screens, people speaking all manner of English without actually solving the problems,” he said.

The ADC candidate maintained that the outcome of the 2027 election would ultimately depend on the choices made by Lagos voters, urging residents to exercise their democratic rights and determine the kind of leadership they want for the state.
