THE Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has promised that by May, landmark buildings and 24 streets in Lagos Island will have 24-hour supply of electricity, courtesy of the Independent Power Project (IPP) of the state government, which will begin to supply 10 megawatts of dedicated electricity to the area .
Fashola said this in Central Lagos, on Wednesday, adding that the buildings to benefit from the new power input would include Lagos Island General Hospital, the state High Court, the State House, Marina and 24 streets.
Addressing a crowd of party leaders, members and supporters at a mega rally of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) at the site of Phase II of the Oluwole Shopping Complex, Governor Fashola said more buildings and streets would benefit as the capacity of the IPP increased.
Listing some of the achievements of his administration on the Island in the last four years, Governor Fashola recalled the controlled demolition of the Bank of Industry (BoI) building, which partially collapsed and was left hanging by the Federal Government for several years, before his administration demolished it through an implosion.
He called on the people to vote massively for all ACN candidates at all levels during the elections, while enjoining them to ensure that they participated in all voting exercises and to protect their votes.
In his earlier remarks, the former governor of the state, Senator Bola Tinubu, said the ACN rally was for the liberation of the people of Nigeria, adding that the ACN was on a mission to liberate Nigerians from economic bondage.
Also at a pre-election prayer session and lecture organised by Fatima Charity Foundation, at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, on Wednesday, Fashola called on all Nigerians to come out en masse and vote for the ACN during the elections.
, describing it as "a critical process towards ensuring free and fair elections."
He said if Nigerians truly wanted free and fair elections, this was the momentous occasion and what represented the easiest way was to go out en masse and cast votes.

When we ask our Government o,when dem go give us lite
Dem say na 2010,we don dey wait 2010 since then
But now the waiting must end
Cuz 2010 don show,oh-oh-oh

I want to be like Moses,eh
Show my people dem to the promise land
But then i notice something,people wey try am don dey underground
I see dem i ja
Look dem from far
Me i fear this Government people
Rise up Naija
Raise ur Apa
Tell them you are tired of the evil

Verse 1:
E don tey wen Fela don go o(2x)
So the leaders are after the doe
Choose themselves like Mini Mani mo
Tumbo tumbo baskelebe
See dem eye like dey shak kelebe
See dem pickin dey comot kelebe
Poor man pickin dey rush olele


I see dem i ja
Look dem from far
Me i fear this Government people
Rise up Naija
Raise ur Apa
Tell them you are tired of the evil

Verse 2:
Gbogbo owo lo n kolobi
Won de TV won soro gidi
Se wo ni,s'emi ni, a mo na gidi
We dey follow follow dem like zombie
Shey na today(na today), Wey we dey wait(we dey wait)
Go buy candle ,go buy candle
Shey na today(na today) ,wey
we dey wait(we dey wait)
E lo r'abela, E lo r'abela o

I see dem i ja
Look dem from far
Me i fear this Government people
Rise up Naija
Raise ur Apa
Tell them you are tired of the evil

Verse 3:
Yes boss,M.I with the flow boss
No more yes bosses its no Boss
No boss so long u scope us
Why you eat green like locust
So ur masses live low cost
Hunger,poverty choke us
You say there's a new plan for u
There's no light,how you gonna show us
All man just fightinh,thinking,fu-el rising ,money sinking
Phcn so blinking ,Phcn to the fighting
I keep on singing,writing
People voting,we coping
Country broken,leaders heartless
Open my eyes,still darkness
Its about that time
That i spit that rhyme
That can touch that mind
Who can tell that friend
Who can take that stand
We can reach that end
Put your lighters Up,they cant fight us down
Light up naija dis 2010,The futuristic sound (cuz 2010 don show oo)


I want to be like Moses,eh
Show my people dem to the promise land
But then i notice something,people wey try am don dey underground
I see dem i ja
Look dem from far
Me i fear this Government people
Rise up Naija
Raise ur Apa
Tell them you are tired of the evil

Shey na today(na today), Wey we dey wait(we dey wait)
Go buy candle ,go buy candle
Shey na today(na today) ,wey
we dey wait(we dey wait)
E lo r'abela, E lo r'abela o
