Leadership is about service, not status. It’s not about who looks or acts like a typical politician. Lagos can work far better than it does today, for the average Lagosian. What it needs is that person who will govern well, for the people, not someone who just makes the loudest noise. #OTiYa #ItIsTime

We talk about roads, power, water, housing, education, health, transportation and the cost of living because they affect our quality of life. But Lagos doesn’t change just because our complaints are loud; it changes because we’re involved. Your PVC isn't just a card, it’s your seat at the table. It’s the way to ensure the future of Lagos isn't decided without you. Phase 3 of the Voter Registration started 4th of May, 2026 and it's still ongoing. Don't just watch the future happen. Participate. Decide. Create it.

Had a good conversation with HE @peterobi. Shared vision. Same drive to fix a system that has failed too many. The road to a new Nigeria will be birthed through united voices and well-governed states. Here's to the work ahead. #OTiYa #ItIsTime

One form. One mission. One movement. Last week, I picked up the NDC expression of interest form for the Lagos State Governorship election. Advancing our promise to Lagos, - right principles, right path, right process. #OTiYa #ItIsTime #NDC

I had a very productive and inspiring meeting with the National Leader of the NDC. Our discussions were frank, constructive and aligned around a shared purpose, that will lead to a better Lagos, and a better Nigeria founded on competence, inclusion, accountability and service to the people. I left even more convinced that meaningful progress is possible when leaders unite around principles, purpose, and the public good. #OTiYa #ItIsTime

The conversation is no longer about how hard Lagos works. It's now about who Lagos is working for. For too long, the system has worked only for a few. But Lagos should work for all of us. Not just the connected. Not just the lucky. Not just the powerful. ALL of us. I'm Funso Doherty. And I'm ready to work with you to create a Lagos that works for everyone. #OTiYa #ItIsTime #FunsoDoherty #LagosDecides

Africa’s growth will be shaped by bold ideas, strategic leadership, and purposeful collaboration. Join me at ABLS 2026 — African Business & Leadership Summit, as we discuss Driving Africa’s Growth Through Innovation, Strategic Leadership, and Collaboration. 📍 MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos 🗓 12th–13th May, 2026 | 9:00 AM

Thursday, May 7, 2026 STATEMENT ON RESIGNATION FROM THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC) AND JOINING THE NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (NDC) Most of us are aware of developments concerning the ADC that have collectively resulted in a division of the coalition with some leaders moving to the NDC and some remaining in the ADC. We had hoped that ADC would be the vehicle that would unite the opposition. That is now clearly no longer the case. In these circumstances therefore, we must each individually make a decision as to whether to remain with the ADC or move to the NDC. After due consultation, careful deliberation and prayerful reflection, I have joined the NDC. I am convinced that this is the path that will enable us to deliver the benefits of good governance to those to whom they are due - every citizen, without exception. The battle ahead remains formidable, but I invite you to join us on this exciting, though sometimes turbulent, journey to a brighter future that has been long- promised and that has so far proven elusive, but that is, by the Grace of God, now imminent. Sincerely, Funso Doherty #OTiYa #Itistime

Every day, you wake up before the sun rises to move this city. You’re at the shop, in the classroom, or behind a screen, pushing through bad roads and rising costs. This Workers’ Day, we are not just saying well done, we are committing to a Lagos where your hard work actually shows in your pocket and your quality of life. We’ve been managing and surviving for too long. It’s time we actually start thriving. Better schools. Better roads. Hospitals that work. A better life for every worker. We’re building a Lagos that lifts everyone, not just a few. Happy Workers’ Day to the workforce behind Lagos. #HappyWorkersDay #LagosDecides #ItIsTime #OTiYa

If the problem appears to be everywhere, then it's a system problem. This isn't about APC vs ADC or PDP. It is about democracy surviving. And that's what matters most: there must be a choice. A monopoly in business destroys markets. A monopoly in politics destroys people and nations. So this isn't just about names on the ballot. Lagos deserves a real choice. Opposition must unite, because united we stand, divided we fall.

I had the opportunity to share part of my vision for Lagos on _Your View!_ After decades managing billions in the private sector, I know that real power isn’t in boardrooms—it’s serving people in communities where they live. Lagos families deserve good Education, Healthcare, Transport, Housing, Water, and Power. My plan will deliver: Free transport for every child in school uniform. Free healthcare + drugs for young children and their mothers. Not in 4 years—in 12 months. Afterall, a one-year-old with a fever can’t wait. It is time to make Lagos work for all of us Click to watch the full interview: youtu.be/CTom_H5Z-mY?si… #ItIsTime #OTiYa

A clip from my recent interview on Your View.

I joined ADC Youth in the protest they led, organized and executed at INEC Lagos Office. Proud of you, your spirit, resolve and energy.

I wrote to the Corporate Affairs Commission addressing certain issues regarding Lekki Worldwide Investments Limited, the private company established by the LASG to develop and manage the 16,500 hectare Lekki Free Zone Area. Here is the letter:

I was on Super FM radio over the weekend. Here is a clip from the interview.

Yesterday, with all sense of humility, a profound belief in the people of Lagos and an unshakable commitment to work for their welfare and prosperity, I declared my intention to contest the Governorship of Lagos on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in 2027.

I recently resigned my membership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Here is the statement I released on this.

Eid Mubarak to all. May we reap the blessings of the sacrifices of the Holy Month.
