Lagos APC reps endorse Ambode for second term

House of Representatives Majority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, and other members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Lagos State have endorsed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for second term.
The members conveyed their endorsement through a letter to Ambode at Lagos House in Alausa urging him to return in 2019, on the account of the massive infrastructural development and giant strides in all sectors and sections of the State.
The members of the APC caucus said the decision to endorse Ambode was largely due to impressive performance, which has positively altered the architectural complexion of Lagos State in the last two and half years.
Gbajabiamila said this following a closed door meeting with the governor noting that the lawmakers were proud to associate with the achievements of the governor and would be willing to support him come 2019.
The Majority Leader, who described the endorsement as history repeating itself as the Caucus was the first to endorse the governor for election in 2015, said it was instructive that there was not a single dissenting voice in the decision to support Ambode for re-election.
“This is a very unique occasion because we have said all we need to say behind closed doors but they are worth repeating.
“Ordinarily, some of us have been in this business for long time and when you have endorsements, there are always dissenting voices maybe one or two but among every single member, there was not one dissenting voice and I think that is very important.
“So, we are here today as stakeholders across all the Local Governments and federal constituencies of the State to present a very unique letter to our governor seeking for him to run again in 2019.
“We will give him unflinching support and have him re-elected overwhelmingly as governor in 2019,” Gbajabiamila said.
Meanwhile, Ambode has lauded the lawmakers for the confidence repose on him saying that the endorsement would spur him to do more for the people.
“I am more delighted that this word of encouragement by way of this letter is to inspire me further to continue to render service to the good people of Lagos.
“I want to thank you so much for the honour you have done me. I receive it with all humility and I pray that God gives us the grace to actually honour all the letters and the words in this message,” the governor said.
