The lawmaker representing Oshoi/Isolo Constituency 2 at the Green Chamber of the National Assembly, Okey-Joe Onuakalusi,
has promised to partner Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for the development of the constituency.
The lawmaker, who was elected to the National Assembly on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), said that he would not hesitate to reach out to the Lagos State government and partner with it.
He added that political differences will not hinder the delivery of democracy dividends to Nigerian citizens.
According to Onuakalusi: “Once you are elected to serve, you are no longer in partisan politics. All we need is governance and governance has to work. Even though we are coming from different political parties, the most important thing is what constituency projects you are bringing to your constituents.
“After the inauguration, we had a discussion with the governor of Lagos State and I told him that we are ready for a strategic partnership that will promote Lagos even though we are from different political parties.
“Whatever programme that we want to push from Abuja, which will be for the common interest of Lagosians, I’m available to do it. We won’t compromise our position as Labour Party legislators.
Speaking on fulfillment of his electoral promiddses, the lawmaker noted: “I have mapped out roads for construction and rehabilitation. If you go to my constituency, we commissioned eight roads in December last year, done by individuals.
“The ones in the Okota axis were individually built as well. Those that fall under Category B of the roads, I will take them to the state governor and tell him.
“These are the roads that need your attention. All the roads built in Greenfield Estate were done by the landlords. All the roads built in Canal Estate were done by the landlords. At the back of Century Hotel, all the roads constructed there were done by the landlords.”
“We also have some bad roads in the Ejigbo area of my constituency. We will list the roads that need attention and the drainages as well. I will forward them to the governor. I won’t say that I won’t approach him for Infrastructural development because he is from a different political party,” he added.
