The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has put forward Deji Doherty as its candidate for the governorship of Lagos State. Doherty has outlined a platform that focuses on easing the cost of living for residents and businesses in the city.

Central to his campaign is a pledge to provide electricity cost relief. He says the state will introduce rebates and other measures to reduce the burden of power bills on households and commercial enterprises.

In addition to tackling energy costs, Doherty has promised to make housing more affordable. He intends to implement policies that will lower the price of homes and improve access to affordable accommodation for Lagos residents.

These promises are part of Doherty’s bid to win the governorship election. If elected, he plans to roll out the proposed reforms across the state’s power and housing sectors.

Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, has long faced challenges related to high electricity prices and a shortage of affordable housing, making Doherty’s proposals a key issue for voters in the upcoming election.
