The spat began after Wahab shared a video of himself and government officials clearing refuse, showcasing their commitment to cleaning up Lagos. Gbadamosi, however, was quick to challenge the effectiveness of these efforts, questioning whether the commissioner planned to personally oversee the waste removal across the city.
“Are you planning to evacuate the waste in each of these places, street by street, bridge by bridge?” Gbadamosi asked, highlighting the widespread rubbish in areas like Ikorodu and Epe. He labeled the government's efforts as “performative misgovernance,” accusing the administration of deliberately allowing Lagos to be overwhelmed by refuse.
Gbadamosi further claimed he had previously offered solutions to the waste crisis but accused Wahab of ignoring his advice. “You are determined to punish Lagosians with disease,” he declared, urging residents to unite and support his vision alongside former Labour Party candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
In response, Wahab dismissed Gbadamosi’s criticisms, stating, “You are not worth my attention.” He accused Gbadamosi of failing to manage a small estate and alleged misconduct related to AMEN Estate.
Wahab also mocked Gbadamosi’s political association with Rhodes-Vivour, suggesting he was merely seeking attention through his comments. “Enjoy your few weeks of rehabilitation and skit-making with your boy, GRV!” he quipped.
The war of words highlights the ongoing tension surrounding waste management in Lagos, a city grappling with significant refuse challenges. As both sides trade barbs, the question remains: how will Lagos address its growing waste crisis?
With residents feeling the effects of poor waste management, the clash between these political figures underscores the urgent need for effective solutions in the bustling metropolis.
