He also lamented the incessant traffic jam within the Lagos metropolis, saying that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has failed to fulfill his electioneering campaign on how to make the state greater. "Dear Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, you campaigned #ForAGreaterLagos. This is Berger 9.15 am... Tens of thousands are stranded, millions are trekking. Driving to work is hell. You restricted Keke and Okada on the mainland only to introduce ferries and boats. How can a Danfo from Berger to Secretariat be 400? Berger to Oshodi 1000? Berger to Mile 2, 1500?" he said.
