“The Reformers is the coming together of men and women tired of over two decades of personalized governance trajectory in Lagos, where one hand directs governance and the same hand secretly controls the opposition to the extent that our opposition politics has been bedeviled by compromise, betrayals, sellouts and backstabbing. We want to change that narrative,” he mentioned.

“The original focus of the movement is Lagos, but we have come to terms with the masses-oriented programs of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, especially the ones relating to education, youth employment and subsidy reform. His blueprint directly addresses the ‘Jagba’, area boys snatch -it syndrome that has afflicted our youths in almost every Lagos home, and disrupted our socio-economic life,” he mentioned.
According to him, the endorsement of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the ADC is complete, saying that the movement would mobilize the silent majority throughout Lagos and past for victory in 2027.

He referred to as on well-meaning Lagosians and Nigerians at dwelling and in the diaspora to affix the movement, stressing that “a new Nigeria is possible with massive reorientation and renewed patriotism which is currently missing.”
