It is not in doubt that like the Presidential race between Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari, which promises to be an epic battle, one of the governorship races that will equally be keenly contested is the race for the Alausa RoundHouse by Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The reasons for this keen competition in Lagos are not far-fetched. Like at the federal level where only the two dominant parties are in the race, the competition in Lagos is also between APC and PDP. People can hardly recall the names of any of the other nine contenders. They are not campaigning. What’s the point of wasting the funds they can hardly spare? Their parties probably won’t field any presidential candidate in the real sense of it.
