He made the plea on Monday at an interactive meeting with the Organised Private Sector at Oriental Hotels, where he spoke of the state’s economic redistribution plans aimed at expanding the Lagos business district to suburbs in the western and eastern parts of the State.

Fashola said the complex nature of governance in Lagos had thrown up a system that usually produced administrators who are problem solvers, rather than politicians giving excuses.

The former Lagos governor stressed that the sustainability of the governance model in Lagos should remain the paradigm for the nation to adopt.

“Voters should be observant, because electing people to positions of authority is not about Reality TV show. It is about real life problem,” he said.

“The choice we have to make is between the political party which denies the problems and the one that has confronted the problems and trying to solve them.”
