The Lagos State Governor-elect, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode has called on the PDP governorship candidate, Mr Jimi Agbaje and\u00a0 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 winner of the governorship elections.<\/div>\n
Ambode was announced as winner of the Saturday election after securing 811994 votes against his PDP\u2019s closest rival, Agbaje who scored 659,788 votes. \u201cTo my main opponent, Mr Jimi Agbaje of the PDP, I thank you for a keen contest and invite you, alongside other gubernatorial candidates, to join hands with me in moving Lagos forward,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/div>\n
Ambode also promised Lagos residents\u00a0 that his administration would build on the legacy and achievements of his predecessors, Gov. Babatunde Fashola and Chief Bola Tinubu. \u201cI am humbled that you have placed your trust and faith in me. \u201cThe 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.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI shall honour that contract with every fiber of my being. \u201cThis day I pledge to you that I shall devote myself to bringing even greater prosperity, growth and development to every inch of this state. \u201cI also pledge that I shall build on legacy and progress of my predecessors,\u201d Ambode said. The governor-elect promised to bring the best of\u00a0<\/span>\u200e<\/span>Lagos into his government saying that the people would be proud and glad for choosing him as their governor.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe people of Lagos have demonstrated that Lagos is not about ethnicity or religion but about a common desire to enthrone good\u00a0<\/span>\u200e<\/span>governance. \u201cLagos under my watch will not discriminate. It has not in the past. And will not in the present; not even in the future,there will be no political victimisation. \u201cBy affirming your faith in the APC and in me, you have, for the first time in 60 years, married progressive governance at the national level with progressive government at the state level,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/div>\n
Ambode noted that finally, Lagos\u00a0 state government and the Federal government would be of one vision, one mind and one accord. \u201cThe ramifications of this harmonious unity are completely positive. \u201cThis is a chance that we have worked toward for many years. \u201cThe 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.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis new era of cooperation between the state and federal government promises to be a golden period for Lagos and for all Lagosians to share equally therein,\u201d he said. Ambode said Lagos would enjoy optimal development and growth through APC governance working in tandem at the state and federal levels. \u201cThis cooperation and enhanced policy harmony will surely pay handsome dividends,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/div>\n
Ambode congratulated INEC for a job well done and keeping alive Nigeria\u2019s hope for a brighter democracy.<\/span><\/div>\n
