As the political landscape takes shape ahead of the 2027 general elections, Funso Doherty—the Lagos State governorship aspirant for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)—has charged voters to prioritize competence, integrity, and visionary governance when choosing their next leaders.
Doherty, who transitioned to the NDC following a strategic re-evaluation of his political platform, emphasized that the future development and prosperity of Lagos State depend heavily on electing leaders driven by public service rather than personal ambition.
According to him, the electorate must look beyond party lines and focus on candidates who possess the tenacity, transparency, and administrative capability required to address the state's pressing socio-economic challenges. He stressed that fostering institutional reform and good governance in Lagos requires active citizen participation and a deliberate rejection of compromised leadership.
With political alignments shifting rapidly across the state, Doherty maintains that his movement is firmly committed to reshaping the political trajectory of Lagos by offering credible, people-oriented alternatives for the 2027 ballot.
