The commissioner of works in Lagos state has said that he has what it takes to govern Lagos state. The commissioner who clocks 50 today, speaks of his chances of clinching the governorship ticket of All Progressive Congress come November....
When asked why he wanted to be the governor of the state, Hamzat said that the challenge of a black man generally is lack of sustaining development
" The issue is that we deal with the wrong things
at home. We talk about Igbo, Yoruba and South-
South, does it matter? The currency we spend
has no coloration. The road that you drive on
does not know or ask where you come from.
When a plane crashes, it doesn’t know if you are
from the South or North.
So, why then do we focus on the wrong things?
That is one of the reasons I said we must look at
the right approach to solve our problems. We
must have somebody that possesses the
experience, humility, integrity and what it takes to
do the job.
I believe I represent those values. That is one of
the reasons I’m presenting myself as a candidate
for the office. Our party, the APC, is lucky
because we have many people who are qualified
to do the job. We don’t need to go and hire
people from outside, borrow someone or be
begging. Within that number as well, there will
also be ratings based on various factors that as a
people we must determine, in terms of experience,
background, education and the rest. But I believe
that at the end of the day, I will carry the day."
The commissioner further said that as Nigerians and Africans, we most not tamper religion with politics...saying that Lagosians should not mind who wins or the religion he or she goes with but should be mindful of moving Lagos state forward.
