Agbaje lost the election to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“It is 100 days since the President and most governors took the oath of office to serve and improve our lot by upholding the constitution,” Agbaje said on Twitter.
“As a people we owe them and our nation good citizenship which, among other things, require us to pray for them to be worthy, honest, fair and effective leaders; pursue peace, progress, unity and justice in the land; give them valuable insights into better governance; offer them constructive criticism, avoiding all form of flattery and deceit; ask them questions that will put them on their toes; put their Fidelity to their campaign promises to test; expose any underbelly of mediocrity, incompetence, inertia, injustice, bad governance, godfatherism or corruption around them or in their government; and support all their laudable goals and actions.”

He continued: “3 months is enough to know the direction that any leadership is going. The signs are ominous. The State and National economies are in bad shape.
“As a people we must be ready at all times to do our bit to ensure our local communities, our state & the country at large make quantum leaps rather than incremental steps. We deserve much better & must do all we can to hold our leaders to a higher standard of service.”
