Now I know the origin of the demands for a special status for Lagos State. Jide Oluwajuyitan had only amplified it in an opinion piece. It bears repeating that Lagos State does not need to be granted a Special Status by any person, group or authority. LAGOS IS SPECIAL AS IT IS. Lagos State has left the other states and the Federal government behind in the dust a very long time ago. That we have an APC-led administration in Abuja does not alter this comparison.
To be fully unshackled, Lagos State should go the whole hog and drive for comprehensive Restructuring for True Fiscal Federalism. Lagos State is eminently qualified to lead the charge to overcome entrenched and irrational opposition. Mark you, Ogun State is not too far behind.
