Ambode Extends Hand of Partnership to Agbaje and Others

The Lagos State Governor-elect, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has called on the PDP governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje and others who contested against him to join hands with his administration to build the state. Ambode spoke on Sunday while delivering his acceptance speech at the APC secretariat in Lagos shortly after he was declared the winner of the governorship elections. “To my main opponent, Mr. Jimi Agbaje of the PDP, I thank you for a keen contest and invite you – and other gubernatorial candidates – to join hands with me in moving Lagos forward.” He said. Ambode promised Lagos residents that his administration would build on the legacy and achievements of his predecessors: Gov. Babatunde Fashola and Chief Bola Tinubu. “I am humbled that you have placed your trust and faith in me. The love of this state and our common belief in what we can accomplish, our belief in what this state already is, and in what it is destined to become binds us together in a social and moral contract of high purpose. I shall honour that contract with every fibre of my being.” He stated. He also said “this day, I pledge to you that I shall devote myself to bringing even greater prosperity, growth and development to every inch of this state. I also pledge that I shall build on the legacy and progress of my predecessors.” “The ramifications of this harmonious unity are completely positive. This is a chance that we have worked toward for many years. The joint infrastructural and employment projects and collaboration between the state and the federal will quicken the improvement of our roads, schools, power generation and the entire array of social services.” He stated further. Ambode said Lagos would enjoy optimal development and growth through APC governance working in tandem at the state and federal levels. “This cooperation and enhanced policy harmony will surely pay handsome dividends.” He said. Ambode concluded his speech by congratulating INEC for a job well done and for keeping Nigeria’s hope for a brighter democracy alive.
