The stretch of land spanning 1004 flat through to Epe in the Lekki peninsula of Lagos State has witnessed rapid development in residential and commercial buildings. But despite the general look of new money in the area, residents complain of lack of adequate social amenities and infrastructure. But the gubernatorial candidate of PDP, Agbaje, promised to dismantle the toll gates in Lekki if elected, pointing out that though the toll gate was built by a concessionaire, it had since been bought over by the Lagos State Government. Like Sanwo-Olu, Agbaje attended the Town Hall meeting alongside his running mate, Mrs. Haleemat Busari, and PDP candidate for Lagos Central Senatorial District, Mr. Sunbo Onitiri, as well as other candidates for Lagos. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who came midway into the meeting, explained that he is also a Lekki resident, and remarked that the Federal Government was doing much in the area of infrastructure development.
