A group has made a call for the equal sharing of political positions to all the five major divisions in Lagos state.
This is for what they have termed an imbalance at the upper echelon of politics in the state. Speaking on behalf of the marginalized divisions of Ikorodu and Badagry, the members of the group say that it has been an unfair practice, to ignore qualified individuals who have a lot to input in governance and development, who are from the stated divisions.
Speaking further, they cited that the Governor of the state is from Lagos Island division, the Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat is from Epe division and the Speaker of the house is from Ikeja division. The position of Speaker of the house will be fair enough to go to elected members of the state House of Assembly and other key positions as well.
These appointments, will not just be a fair representation of all the divisions of the state, but it will enhance development in Ikorodu and Badagry which are not as developed as Lagos Island, Ikeja or Epe divisions.
It is also a call to the state government, to fulfill their promises to people from those areas who gave their massive support during the gubernatorial elections.
