You must surely be in good mood due to the success of APC in every state of the country?

Yes, APC is a formidable party and lots of people have been craving for it. Lots of people have continued to inquire about the secrets of development in Lagos. They have even come to Lagos to inquire about the developmental plans put in place, but mind you, we in APC have a policy and the policy is that any of our members that finds him/herself in any political office must ensure that dividends of democracy are given to the people, so what you are seeing today in all the states shows that APC has made consultation on what the people want and the channel we gave them was APC and they abided by it. Give Rivers State a year, you will see development. They have been long short-changed, their money has been used to develop other states including Abuja. When Asiwaju took that step when Obasanjo was in power; it was the breakthrough for Lagos State. Today, see how Lagos State looks, it’s mini London. So, back to your question, I am very happy with what is happening and the people too.

Let’s look at the recent Anambra State governorship election, was it free and fair?

You and I know that the election was not free and fair because lots of people were disenfranchised, people who registered during the registration exercise were shocked beyond doubt that their names were omitted in the final list. So, what will you say about that?. The election was marred with irregularities, we cannot accept the result.

On the decamping of five governors to APC; what is your comment?

It is a welcome idea for both the governors and their states. Those governors know that the leaders of their party are mainly using them to achieve their selfish goals while their people are suffering in abject poverty. Like I said, you will see what will happen to those states whose governors have defected to APC; there would be massive change and development.

You are the APC chairman in Lagos State, PDP said they will take over come 2015

(Cuts in) take over what? Where is the structure that they will use to take over? In Lagos State today, APC has no rival, they just want to get media attention for nothing, they cannot even win a councillorship seat let alone governorship seat.
