    A big congratulations to our state governor in advance. I’m optimistic that all potential beneficaries of this gesture will be extremely delighted especially at this time. But i’d however like to know how this ties back and aligns with the one state’s and national identity service driven objective?

    Quit playing politics everytime, an act of mercy is a good thing, but, I would rather say: Give the people what they deserve, when it’s due time, not when you deem it necessary, the citizens are your people, not slaves.

    Good gesture from the state government, but for the wrong reason. Since this is a programme by Lagos state and funded with state funds, then I think it’s wrong to tie it to the governor’s birthday anniversary, unless he’s funding it with his personal resources and those of his friends.
