Ambode thrills Lagos residents with promises at rallies

Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, during the week reiterated his promise to consolidate on the party’s achievements in the state.

Ambode spoke when his campaign’s mega rallies reached Seme border/Badagry and Ibeju-Lekki areas of the state.

While being welcome by the people of Badagry Local Government Area of the state, the APC governorship candidate, who had worked in the local council for three years in the late 1980s, said he would complete the multi-billion naira Mile 2-Badagry Expressway and the light rail project.

Ambode also promised to ensure that Badagry, which is one of the five divisions that make up the state, would be empowered for rapid development, especially in the areas of infrastructure and job creation.

He said, “The future of tourism in Lagos State is here. This is also an important base for agro-economic development. Our administration will place a lot of attention in these areas to ensure that Badagry Local Government Area and other places around here experience a new layer in the type of developments they are already witnessing.”

Ambode equally thrilled the people of the Badagry/Seme border where he asked the residents to continue to support APC to enable the party record more success.

He said, “While the whole world acknowledges the giant strides of the last 16 years in Lagos due to the people-oriented programmes and creating management of resources, which are succeeding in making Lagos a true mega city-state, the international community, like most Nigerians at home and abroad, are unanimous in rejecting the current maladministration that is going on in Abuja.”
