Aside from being
the commercial and entertainment capital of the sub-region and the
nation, Lagos has the largest number of voters as revealed by the just
concluded voter’s registration. The state boasts of over 6million
registered voters for the forthcoming general elections hence the
appeal by the president to the voters to support him and his party’s
controversial candidate.

The state
according to the Central Bank of Nigeria is responsible for over 50% of
the revenue earned in the continent’s third largest economy and its
host to the busiest seaports and airports in the West Africa sub-region
boosts its relevance.

With these
alluring economic credentials, the state has pulled through the
nation’s history as the only state consistently ruled by the opposition
party, despite all the shenanigans of the People’s Democratic Party (in
particular) to capture the state since the advent of democracy in 1999.

Though riddled
with aging infrastructure, the state recently rated as the fourth worst
state to reside in the world by the Economic Intelligence Unit of the
Economist magazine, the state has improved its manner of income
generation at a whopping N16bn per month, which is geared towards
revamping its infrastructure and making the city a model city.

A lot of
projections have already being made on the potential of Lagos as a mega
city and one of the most populated cities in the world with an assumed
population of 18 million people, the state has been tipped to be the
third mega city in the world by the Year 2050 after Tokyo .

Everything about the city makes it mouth-watering for the ruling
party but with state’s chaotic traffic been made worse with very
incessant visit by the president which gets the entire city lock-down,
the PDP might just be shooting itself in the foot against a governor
who is highly popular and drives along the traffic without even using
the annoying sirens.
