The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Lagos, Otunba Olanrewaju Jim-Kamal, has said he will introduce electronic learning and electronic health care system if elected governor of Lagos State.
He disclosed that his administration will improve the infrastructure of the state if he becomes the next governor of the state.
He spoke in Agege at the PDP Secretariat where he was presented to leaders, executives and members of the party as a governorship aspirant.
Jim-Kamal, who was presented to the party by Pastor Tunde Olusanya, told the party stalwarts he will transform Lagos State to a digital urban with the introduction of different electronic compliance governance.
Speaking on the party’s primary election, Jim-Kamal said he is confident that he will win the governorship ticket of the party.
The governorship aspirant assured the people he will not disappoint them if elected governor.
He said his wealth of experience in both the private sector and politics will be laid to bare at ensuring a better life for Lagos residents.
The oil magnate and development expert disclosed that he has been in the political terrain since his post-secondary days and would make sure he judiciously use his experience to better improve Lagos infrastructure.
“I started my political career here in Agege in 1989, I contested for chairman of Ikeja local government under the then zero party as the youngest chairman, I have also contested for the house of representative and senate respectively. I tried in 2015, but when I saw that my party was not ready, I quit. Now my people have called on me to contest the governorship seat and I have hearkened their calls, I believe I will be the next governor of Lagos,” he said.
Speaking further, Jim Kamal said he aspires to come and resolve multifaceted challenges confronting the state.
He said; “The problems confronting Lagos is multifaceted, when we come in we are going to tackle these problems headlong. We are bringing in automated free E-education at all levels. Our education system will be digitalised, our children we have tablets, in secondary school students will have laptops and also higher institutions. We are going to compete favourably with private schools because what we have in the private schools is a shamble, the residents will decide either to choose either public or private schools after we have transformed our schools. We are also going to have a full free E-health system for our people.”
Jim-Kamal said he will defeat any candidate at primaries to clinch the party ticket.
He said; “Jide is my brother, I will defeat him at the primaries, I started with people like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Funso Williams and others, I am capable and I have the capacity and the will to govern Lagos State.”
