2027: Lagos NDC Gubernatorial Candidate Promises Free Education, Healthcare
Funso Doherty, the NDC's gubernatorial candidate for Lagos State, has pledged to provide free education and healthcare within his first 100 days in office, as reported by Punch Newspapers.
According to Punch Newspapers, Funso Doherty, the NDC’s gubernatorial candidate for Lagos State, has made a commitment to offer free education and healthcare services within his first 100 days in office. This announcement comes as Nigeria prepares for the general elections slated for 2027.
Doherty, a businessman and politician, is running against incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who has yet to declare his intentions for a second term. The NDC’s decision to field Doherty as their candidate marks the party’s return to Lagos State politics after a 12-year absence.
Doherty’s promise of free education and healthcare echoes similar pledges made by other political parties in the run-up to the elections. However, the feasibility and cost implications of such promises remain uncertain, particularly given Lagos State’s large population and existing budgetary constraints.
