Lagos state PDP gubernatorial candidate Jimi Agbaje, has promised to pull down the Lekki/Epe toll gates, if elected next governor of the state. He said this at a peaceful protest, tagged March for freedom, organised by Freedom Group in Lekki
"I am here to show solidarity with you on the issue of the toll plaza for which you are marching today and assure you that when we get into office, these toll gates will come down; I will demolish all of them. The public/private partnership, PPP, arrangement behind this project is not transparent.
Look at the BRT and Lagos light rail projects, they are collapsing because the PPP arrangements they have on ground are not sustainable. The light rail which was supposed to have been ready since 2012, is grounded and this is because of vested interests of a few people. The PPP arrangements are skewed to favour only a few people, so for me, I am in solidarity with you and a vote for us is a vote for freedom, a vote to bring down the toll plazas.” Mr Agbaje said (source -Vanguard)

He spoke like a very knowledgeable man and what we need in this country is some1 who thinks strategically and not just some1 solely dependent on *fake special advisers*
Na so den dey talk...I kinda like d toll gate, its just d fee dat m nt comfortable with.
Election strategy
To destroy what is in place instead of making it better shows they he is not fit to govern Lagos.

Kinds desperate of him
if u like strategize urself, na u sabi. no vote for PDP. vote for change APC.
Lagosian's pls cast ur vote wisely
Geraaaaaaway na Ambode sure pass abeg.
Is that the only thing he is planning to do.... Destruction of toll gate is not the main job. Further expansion and completion of the road(s) should be priority.
I ll likely vote for this man but I need to hear more of what he plans to do other than pulling down toll gates and wifi in Lagos.
In Governor Fashola voice........Jimi Agbaje is too old to be the lagos state governor.......lol.....
::::::::::::::::QUEENMAYA::::::::::::::::::
U can stop d payment but pls dont demolish it biko. Dey actually make d road look pretty. Better yet reduce d toll fee. To like 50 bucks.
I personally do not support the removal of the tollgate on lekki-epe axis. I`m also
more surprised that majority of those clamouring for the removal do not live on the
island,they live on the mainland and has never gone as far as Ajah. Tollgate is not
only in Nigeria.
This project was kicked off and is being maintained through public-private
partnership. And I believe asides the public-private investors returns, the state government gets some sort of revenue from this project.
The project is still ongoing from the ajah axis and the rate at which people move to
this part of Lagos daily cannot be quantified. I earlier on leave home 6am for work
now I have to leave few minutes before 5am just to beat the traffic.
So, if you say you will remove this tollgate,who will finance and complete the
dualization from ajah to epe? Are we going to wait on FG again to come and complete it? If not for the introduction of PPP,this area would still be largely
underdeveloped. More so there are alternate routes if you don’t want to pay toll
fees.
Right now you can’t find any pot hole on that road from lekki to ajah(anytime
there’s a pothole,it will be taken care of within a week). If your car breaks down on
that road from lekki to chevron area,this same LCC will tow it off the road for you free within 30mins,infact as soon as they notice your car,they will be on standby
with you till its towed off.
Now each tollgate has about 14 to 16 slots with 2 cashiers each daily (2 shifts daily)
,making 28 to32 attendants per tollgate. What will happen to these people,will you
take these jobs away from them?Most of them are married, what will happen to their
livelihood. Armed robbery on this lekki-epe axis is nothing compared to the spate of robbery
on the mainland and this might be because this axis is more like one way in and
out.Any major armed robber will either take lekki as exit or go all the way down to
Epe or use the waterways. Left to me this toll gates indirectly stems the rise of
robbery on the island as it slimmed the getaway chances of robbers.
I believe someone doesn’t truly understand what is going on and is playing on the ignorance of some set of people to gain cheap popularity.

I hope he'll provide job 4 those he'll render jobless. No be to dey talk 4 mouth. I'll vote 4 him though.
JK WE KNOW JK WE TRUST
Yayyyyu
@lwkmd_naija
Not just the toll gates the round about too will go down, the traffic is becoming unbearable on the lekki Ajah axis.
Hmmm
Not interested in this politics tin.
Stupid man, did we ask you to pull it down? Just reduce the toll fare. If you pull the tolls down and the roads start getting degraded will you bring money out to fix them? Will you have ready towing vehicles to help and tow broken down vehicles from those roads? Speaking without thinking much. just saying anything to make people happy. Ok bye!
What a destructive man So if he pulls down the tolls , how are the roads going to be maintained
? So if the present programs are not working, na to destroy am and start another elephant project that would not complete in 15yrs? Who is this thug?
Lagos has come too far for some irresponsible idiot to just come and destroy everything…hian. If Lagos can fare that much with bad leadership and corruption, imagine where it can be if there’s at least this much consistency for 10yrs?…kmt, people just be messing with my nerves today shaa…..
Okay, we are waiting
Nice 1
This man Is sounding like a dummy! So there’s a lack of transparency? Give details and explain what needs to be done to improve transparency. Give figures so that we know that the expressway can still be sustainably maintained with lower or no toll fees so that we know who to hold accountable for potholes on the expressway. ‘I will give free education,.. I will improve health care…I will resurrect your dead father.’ Is it by magic?
This man obviously knows nothing about governance, being a nice man is not enough to govern a State especially a State like Lagos and his lack of experience shows through every time he makes ridiculous promises. First he says he will give Lagosains free internet! Seriously , does he think we are morons? Nothing is free, if Lagosains are not paying for it that means the government is. Out of all the things that still needs to be done for the masses is free internet the best use of State funds! Not to forget that there are still a lot of roads to be developed in the mainland, if the government bears the cost of paying the toll that will be at the expense of other projects. It’s unfair to give such a road to the middle class at the expense of the poor , there is an alternative route for anyone who doesn’t want to pay toll and that is fine.

Correct. .... Jk is the best man for the Job jorr
He wants to render all the workers jobless abi, very stupid man
This is the problem with PDP , instead for him to think of how to improve he wants to destroy. He has lost my vote for this, shows he has no idea about governance
This man is the most unserious candidate. He never mentioned how he intend to generate revenue. At least Ambode told us his own. pulling down the toll gate is not the answer.
A wise man will talk about improving not building down. He thinks we are fools abi, so all the money spent to construct the toll will be destroyed and yet the government will still have to finish paying the contractors. How wasteful
This man's priorities are wrong , this is the same way he said he will return Okada to Lagos roads. He wants to undo all the good works of Governor Fashola. Hiss, never
the same way he will bring down, lastma, lasaa, kai, laspark, lawma, lirs, ltv, lcc even Alausa secretariat. And they call you common trader you will shout. Silly people who don't even drive thru the toll gate are shouting its good. Destroy destroy destroy like NAZI war planes.
Will Jimi shut up, there are alternative roads for those who don't want to pay toll. That is not our biggest problem in Lagos.
Wash!
How are all the other roads in Lagos and Nig that aren't tolled maintained? What does Lagos state govt do with all its internally generated revenue and federal allocations? Before u talk/comment,think...
JK WE KNOW
JK WE TRUST
JK IS OK...
FI LE BE...
Ambode is a thief
That is the problem with Nigerian politicians, always making stupid promises just to win. When he destroys the tools millions was spent to built, what will happen to the employees? How will the government pay back the loan taken to build the road? Jimi seriously fall my hand
That's a big lie. LCC will never tow ur car away for free!
Jimi Agbaje just disappointed me, he is talking like a typical politican who likes to destroy everything built by opposition party. Rubbish talk
That is not what Lagosians want to hear!
This just shows that PDP is filled with backward thinking people... pity
Ambode's face be like amala and kpomo
He has been saying it...He is the man for the job after Fash if you ask me but Tinubu will die fighting cos he literally tho illegally owns Lagos Island
Instead for him to talk about the many roads that need development on the mainland he is talking about canceling toll. That money will come out of money that the government should use to develop other roads.
Then people on the mainland shld clamor for their own toll gate so that armed robbey there can be "stemmed" too?
JK IS OK...
He got character....
All of you criticising his intention to remove the toll gate will go to bed in ur respective houses but wake up in the dirtiest canal in this Lagos. Ah ah! Dem use hypo wipe una brain? Why are you lot so insensitive? I work in that axis and by my calculations, I pay nothing less than one hundred and forty thousand nairn per year on toll, now you can imagine how much people who live there spend everyday when dey need to make frequent trips. And that's not even my tax. And at the end of the day, 10% of generated fund goes to Jagaban (Tinubu) . Dats about 9billion naira every month.
I am 100% in support of you sir and so are many. Forget about these small minded people on here. You will be doing us a world of good and am sure Mr Agbaje will fix the people whose jobs will be affected up somewhere. He is a good man who has the interest of Lagosians at heart. Not that tout that calls himself Ambo.
I used to respect this man until he made this silly promises! Demolish the tolls, free internet for lagosians? Really? Really JK? You'd rather pull down than build? How about improving what has been done with our tax rather than using state funds to demolish and then starting some project that'll take another 4 years. Do you even remember how Ozumba was before it was dualized? Do you? Pschew. Please face your pharmacy if you don't have anything tangible to do if you enter office. PDP always trying to discredit rather than portray their own strengths.
Jimi the kerosine sharer needs to shut up. We remember how terrible the traffic on that road used to be before the toll. One would drive 3-4 hours every morning just to get to VI. That is not the Lagos we want to go back to. There are alternative roads for those who wish
This is how one will know that Agbaje is a road shop owner. He has no sense, is destroying the best solution!
Thanku stop d Payment or reduce it wtf is demolish??Nwa mkpi
Jimi hasn't paid taxes for Jay Kay pharmacy since 2009 yet you don't want to pay toll. Tax evaders like Jimi are the reason why we need to pay toll, there are so many people in Lagos and so much to develop. Even in Dubai he keeps talking about they pay tolls
PDP politicians are expert in lies
Dis man is jst a baseje, is he ready 2 employ pple dat r working der if he pull it down? Y nt continue 4rm whr dis govt wl stop n stop fooling ur sf. Nonsense
We waiting patiently#Smile#
What type of orientation is this.Mr.Jimi and his witty promises.Yes,u are a nice guy but on the wrong platform and u are not grinded in governance like ur running mate whom has spent 27years in public service.Lagos is not ready for experiment.I support continuity of excellence.
Who is Ambode? Jk all d way. Ambode kor Ambulance nee.
Hello Mr Jk tolls are everywhere in the world and the commuters pay 4 it. Stop making baseless points we are not fools. N stop sounding like ur oga Jonathan....embrace change u cant rig this election..Wake up numb skulls
I can see u don't ve a good sense of reasoning,
What's this man talking about? Toll gate that has eased traffic, maintained the road and other values to lagos. He's just angry at all APC's projects. Let's be sincere, toll pay there is 120 naira, federal govt owned toll rate at murtala mohammed airport is old, not maintained and they still collect 200 or more, what does he has to say about that? He wants to eradicate Lastma, has Lastma not maintained orderliness on lagos roads since its inception?
He wants to return agbero back to lagos so that robbery will return. Oshodi will become a fearful place to walk through by 7 pm again. Alpha beta has generated income for lagos, many years when lagos was denied federal allocation, alpha beta helped lagos to he negate money allocation nd lagos was in order, civil servants got there salaries promptly and projects went on, why are you angry just because it's owned by tinubu? Is the company not serving purpose? Let's be sincere, it took 16 years for tinubu and fashola to bring lagos this good, you won't like lagos of Jimi after 4 years, obanikoro, bode George are waiting to jump in and exploit without adding value. Bode George and Koro both served several years at federal level with no achievement to contribute other than looting, do you want to hand over our peaceful lagos to them? You can't know the value of what you have until it's lost. If PDP at federal level have been good since 16 years ago, we won't ask for change, we will definitely keep supporting them. Lagos has been good since 1999, though it can get better but it's very wrong for anyone to say lagos is bad under fashola.
Abeg this man used to be so handsome but now he looks like Aids patient . Is he okay
Am paying the toll and its least of my worries. Pls sir focus on building new Lagos rather than destroying. The toll gate is beautiful. Phee Dee Phee. Ole.

Dindinrin, what do you know about jk that would make you trust him?
So how will he pay the loans that were used to build the road? Mind you, the loan was gotten from international banks???
Ambo all the way. PDP and Agbaje are clueless.
God bless ur narrations, PDP wit dre mediocrity. No clear-cut agenda and process for urban redevelopment. Wot do u xpect frm a pharmacist though.
jk carry go lagosian are behind u.god bless u
jk ok
Rather than demolish its better to reduce the toll fee... millions of cars ply this road on a daily basis both island dwellers and non island dwellers....the amount of money realized from this toll is unprecedented and no matter the level of maintenance that is going on along that axis, even #50naira per car would still provide it.There has always been an existing road before the toll...all they did was just to expand it.How about other parts of Lagos like ikorodu where kilometers of road was constructed and yet no toll...wouldnt it be maintained? Abegii...make una leave kpomo ..chop meat.... Jimi reduce toll fees and reduce the size of the round abouts on these roads cos it appears that the contractors are blind and cant tell that it causes serious traffic.. All they care about is the billborads built on it for revenue collection...what happened to providing adequate pedestrian bridges on most strategic points of the road that takes peoples lives when they try crossing and also causes traffic.
jk all d way

I will be so happy if Jimi Agbaje wins. Lagos state needs thorough cleansing starting with all this Agbero.I just pray what happened to Late Funsho Williams will not repeat itself.
smh - then the roads will return to the state of other roads in Nigeria. I like the toll so they can fix all the pot holes and help cars. That looks like a road abroad.
Another mediocre ideology of returning lagos back to its old horrible days, that termed lagos as being a shanty city rather than the mega -metropolitan status it ought to be. Just d other day dis pharmacist displayed a banner dat captured the old lagos set-up i.e old oshodi,clumpsy lagos streets with array of canopies for parties, d old yaba,mushin and other slums in lagos and he captioned it "the Lagos we once know". Are you freaking kidding me? Not surprise thought, but only have my mouth agape for most commenter supporting this ill-development ideologies, yet they all claimed to be educated,enlightened and xposed to western developmental processes. Truely it's People Destroying Party or rather Property Destroying People
See as you resemble thief! Mchww. Notin for Jk. Go face your chemist shop!
Jk all the way
Auntylindagoddaughter
I wonder why young people are so ignorant in this information age.
The toll gate is not legal... pls those of that don't have cars and don't ply that route should hold your peace a garner information.
That project is owned by Tinubu and its on a federal govt road, get it !! Make una hear one person say " so all the money used in building d road is a waste", such a massive ignorant folk
Show me Agbaje track records and I will tell you success storis of Ambode! No 1 you dnt live dere so just shut up!
Is ur brain located undr ur feet and how come u talk with ur anus?
Show me Agbaje track records and I will tell you success storis of Ambode! No 1 you dnt live dere so just shut up!
Instead of demolishing,just reduce it or stop it completely....demolishing is just wasting public money...at thesame time, the toll gate has it's own advantages remember that too mr politician and stop. Taking the people for a ride
Dis guy na apa, make u na open ur eye lagosian de guy na terrorist
all i know is that am voting 4 jimi agbaje as governor and buhari has our president...Tinubu has been there 4 a very long time since the time of .A.D now to acn, what u people dont realise is that,whether u like it or not Tinubu is still d one rulling this state indirectly beit fashola or ambody, he has power over them and the man has eating money in dis lagos...u guyz should be wise and open ur eyes,if pdp become d next govt of dis state,they will do more just to retain lagos and that what we need,let there competition so that they will all sit tight, in a situation whereby we only hav one party rulling,what do u xpect...as for me i dont feel d ambode guy cos i can see some level of desperation in him which i dont like...his advert on tv put me off, he is d son of a teacher, a farmer, a doctor, who cares about all that..i srongly believe that d face of lagos will change if jimi agbaje emerge the next governor of lagos.all i want is change in all area
Pls Mr N140K, how much is your salary per month?
Ask yourself one question: can you afford to pay for toll in the mainland ; most can't . If the mainland is developed as per the framework adopted on the island eh! Na die.
Anything to be elected. Pls visit rellaidiovo.blogspot.com
Haba Omo agbaje
O! Boy! Old man like you dey speak this kain grammar! "Tax invader"! No be only "tax invader" na "tax exvader" chei! A Fii. Cii folks, una no go kill me!
All na wash oooo
Correct I most stand with pdp, APC is one man show
Are you mad? Do you have to insult readers to make your point? If you like pay 20 billion dollar tax a week, that's your problem. If you can't live or work in island, can't you get a room in my shin and get a job there so that you don't pay toll fee.
Ambo o... ati de. Agbaje you be baseje. You just want to come and chop money and spoil things. Jk ko....pk ni
Jk we know, Jk we trust, u have my vote

In Jesus' Name. Text Fortune to 33020.
Yes o tinubu will die, i wish God can open people eyes to see what and how tinubu hard sold half of Lagos and inherit the remaining half.
Tinubu the business man.
Stillo
Jk is is the most articulate and intelligent candidate, I watched the debate and I realized how clueless ambode is, he doesn't even have fact and figures on lagos....if I may say Fashola have done well but the next phase of lagos needs a man like JK, independent (no god father attached) intelligent, sound and vibrant...he came up with the new marine economics policy that will transform the waterways for lagos...and with regards to Lekki ajah too, I totally agree when he said he will destroy it cos the PPP didn't build from end to end so the contract is a sham for APC godfather however he said the Lekki ikoyi toll will be sustained since it was freshly built...I believe JK is best for lagos.
This "promise" will get him a lot of votes
Demolishing the toll gate is nt necessary but bring down the toll free should b the right word and also stop other toll products that are about to come up. Don't make such promises it winking the mind of people, but will not stop my vote for you
Stillo
This PDP Guys are shallow minded
Vote for Jimi Agbaje for governor of Lagos state 2015...the right man for d job. Only a fool will see better thing and reject it. God have mercy on blinded APC supporters. GEJ 2015👍...we're matching forward and unstoppable. If pikin fail, he mustu repeat class. I can't follow a change that is 100% uncertain. The devil I know is better than the angel covered up in mask..
Pull down me, something billions of naira was spent building. Lie lie lie, collect the toll and Chanel the revenue on the poor or something.
Ambode's head is full of Amala and Ewedu. He has no mind of his own. Jimi All the Way !!
This is how Nigeria moves one step forward, ten steps backwards.A govt.builds something based on policy, another comes & destroys it based on sentiments.This is hypocricy! Let him tell the PDP led Federal govt.to demolish the one at Ikeja airport.Nonsense
Am sure u dnt hv a car, so someone else pay d fees.
couldn't have said it better. WHY NOT MAKE MORE TRANSPARANT. OR reduce the fee they currently charge to more affordable one for the vulnerable masses that travel through there. or take it out of PPP OWNERSHIP and into state ownership by buying it and making it affordable or removing the fee altogether. It would be a huge waste to destroy such infrastructure. Another Tinapa (cross rivers) that would be.
Dis shows dis JK is an Idiot nor a Looser,you are never going to be the next Governor in Lagos State......Fashola did this Toll gate to Generate Internal revenue for Lagos state and it has been maintained well ever since it has been built,there are towing Vehicle to tow ur car for u if ur car breaks down and they also deal with any kind of portholes around the area.....The money made from the Toll is being used by State Govt in other finances to support the State Government allocation and all incase Federal Govt/PDP refused to pay out Lagos State Allocation like what happened during Tinubu's tenure....So Mr Jk for uttering this trash from your mouth,you are never going to be the next Governor of Lagos State.....We fucking don't need you nor PDP in Lagos...Thank you !!!
What does the roundabouts have to do with the administrators?
Whose fault is it that you don't understand the roundabout rules when driving?people are so uninformed
Ambode Out
we the igbos will vote for u
Fashola out
jfk in
Tinubu and fashola we want CHANGE
shey bi dem talk change Yes ooo CHANGE
Linda please nah, av been following ur blog for long, each time I try to comment its says, something about approval, haba!!! Approve so dat I can comments too
Carlos, oya chop biscuit for that. You talk well.
Interesting...
I wish him all d best.
Thumbs up to him.
Let me ask agbaje and his 'illitrate' co travellers this question, can they cure headache by removing the head?? Instead of promising new things, they wanted to reversed lagos back to square one.
I still think PDP for governor , APC for president! That is change
OKORO UPGRADED**
Oga, the PPP is for 33years. Villagers from Epe will pay over N500 each day they are driving to Lagos. Haba, be reasonable. If it is N50, it would have been better
Wow alot of comments here, make we dey watch sha...#JKForTheJob
Lcc tows ur car for free..i had an incident two weeks ago and my car was towed for free..pls leave the toll gate alone..u can reduce but to remove will cuz major problems for ppl at lekki and beyond
Most of the daft clowns writing rubbish here do not even live in Lekki/Ajah axis! I live there! Most sane residents in that axis want the tolls to remain there, although we would be happy with a little reduction in the toll fees. Jimi Agbaje has just shown why he is not fit to be Governor of a progressive Lagos! You lead some hired goons to have a protest against the toll and the best thing to say is that you will demolish the tolls! What is the alternative? Some of us knew how that road was so bad until the LCC tolls got erected...
AMBODE WILL BE GOVERNOR BY GOD'S GRACE!!!
JK, am really disappointed in u. So u ar telling us that all d money spent on that tollgate will be waste. U didnt think of reducing the fare or making it free but destruction. U've lost my vote pls.
Am not surprise abt jk's decision dat he wud pull down d lekki toll for wht? Bcos he was guided by former NPA chairman who was an ex convicted bcos of NPA funds. After all there is an alternative for who can't afford to pay toll. We pay toll in airport as many times u cross n it's been control by pdp. So d man shud go back to his pharmacy shop. Ambode for real
pls has anyone thought about the amount borrowed for this project and d payback plan?? N50 billion was borrowed for this project for a payback period of 30 years. the road construction has lasted for about 12 years so far and the N50 billion has been paid back to the lender like 2 years back. so the big question is this where is the 18 years balance payment going to????the cabal i guess!!! JK all the way, pls cancel d toll but dont break the buildings. God bless
Jk didn't understand wht governance all abt it's easy to say but tough to execute wen u re there. Will Jk tell us dat he will rule lagos without his own God father(Bode George n Ogunlewe) I think d man shud keep quiet of all his impossible promises for lagosian. Bode George looted NPA money wen d he was d chairman n was convicted. Today wht happen to judge? He was posted out frm d criminal matter to marital n family affair. Ogunlewe was a former minister for works wht was his impact in lagos. So, jk shud go back to his pharmacy shop n face wht he knows better to practice.
LCC built that toll gate and it's a company own by Tinubu and he said he'l collect the toll gate mony for 30years b4 he'l giv it back 2 d lagos state govt.....i pray JK wins so he'l demolish it
JK IS just someone with the gift of the gab (smooth talker) whilst Ambode unfortunately stammers and stutters so do not come across as clear as he would want to. If we however listen to the both of them we will know that JK is not ready for the State house as he is always goofing about policies but can use is eloquence to deceive people that are not dicerning
Ambode is a thief and a puppet for Tinubu. we've had enough of their coded corruption and monopoly. do be deceived people, those guyz make 100 times more than they spend on developing the city. we are done. JK WE KNOW, JK WE TRUST, JK WE VOTE.....

karikahbuhuhu talk/speech.....
Anony. 9.55. Pls get out of here and stop being a public nuisance. Must you respond to every post against the unrepentant tax evader like Jumi Agbaje and his jailbird godfather Bode George. Go to Bayelsa and ask them what they do with their huge government allocation which triples what Lagos state collect monthly and they have nothing to show for it. This same Cluless Jimmy wants Okada back on our road. He should go back to his pharmacy. No to Jimmy.
Stop speaking though your anus. You surely don't know Ambode for calling him a tout. So what do u call Koro? Even in developed countries some roads are tolled, it clearly shows how empty Jimi is. We don't want good men, we want a performer, we want strict men combined with intelligence. Not a yes man like Jimi. Get your sorry ass out of here with your leprosy infested finger. I live in Lekki for your info. Didinrin.

Jimi all the way correct man with the correct sense
Hear Ambode speak too. Very sound and impressive speech too.
Hmmm
I laugh at most comments here... Linda..some of these people didn't go to school o...Lol jokes... Lekki-Epe toll gate is not the same as lekki-ikoyi or lekki-vi... He was referring to the one towards vgc...the one that no one pays for... I hail you lib people o....lmao
Thanks for telling them...they are all ignorant of these facts!!!i like on d island an I knw what it'ss like to enjoy this road
Hmm @Carlos, your points are not entirely correct o. I can understand that of employment generation but to say it stems robbery on the Lekki axis is a far cry. Plus the towing service is not free. Speaking of generating revenue for the state government, do you have any idea how much Lagos state is indebted to the world Bank on direct foreign investment not to mention the amount fashola raised in bonds to finance the installation of those gates, only to enrich the pockets of a few through the instrumentality of LCC, HiTech and their cohorts. I'd say Lagos State is perhaps the most corrupt state in the federation. Be wise!
It is rather sad to read people's comment here criticizing what Jimi has said without understanding what he is saying. He never said he would close down the roads!! He said he would demolish the toil gates and rightly so. Standard major roads abroad are way wider than the Lekki-expressway and the citizens don't have to pay toll. Serviced roads are usually roads that serve as alternative and provide a shorter link to multiple roads and are obviously optional. How deep are we into slavery and backwardness that we are stuck in party politics that has done nothing for us so bad that we can not recognize intelligent and good meaning leaders....what a shame? Have you heard Ambode speak? Another clueless leader like GEJ. So for me PDP in Lagos, APC for federal; cos I trust Buhari not to be a toy in the hands of Tinubu like Ambode will
Nigerians can be very pathetic, this APC have been collecting this toll fare for years now. They want to collect it forever??????? JIMI i support you, you are credible. APC is all about TAX TAX TAX. They will sell Lagos if care is not taken. No educated person will vote APC for Lagos State, only low minded people.
What has toll gate done for us? Traffic and stealing my money. Thief APC
My advice for APC, deal with street urchins so called area boys. That's my own headache!
we are suffering in ibeju lekki, JK what took you so long to say this don't even demolish it, pay hitech off and reduce the price. no more tinubu and it's allies reaping us off anymore we are tired
We no they complain. Leave am like that we go dey pay.
Lekki toll is not Lagos' problem please shut up mister! There's a freaking alternative route! Take it if you don't want to pay the toll! Pull down the toll gates and then the road becomes like every other road with poor maintenance and potholes and shit! Toll gates are not alien to Lagos, even developed countries have toll gates, UK, U.S, Abu Dhabi etc, did they tell you that toll gate is their problem?!
Is it to demolish the toll?
How about reducing the cost and then use the money to develop and construct roads in Lekki, especially inner streets, better drainages and the likes.
If the tolls are demolished, won't there be an excuse not to continue construction within that region since money wont be generated as before?
Another thing is if He was in power not Fashola, would he have thought of BRT and the Railway?
My opinion for all the candidates is before promises are made there should a be rational reason and a long term effect not just to look good to the public.
Also we want to know what they are going to do to improve the state and country as well as how they are going to execute it and how the income is going to be generated to accomplish them.

i tink dat d toll is jst to exploit us living in d ajah/lekki axis.since d ivention of d toll public transportation has drastically increased. b4 d toll gate ajah to lekki was N70 bt now N150 dat twice wat we use to pay.imagine som 1 wrking in lekki 4rm ajah spending N15,500 mntly and collecting N30k as salary who are u working 4 apc abi.
