All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu was last night excited over Akinwunmi Ambode’s victory at
Saturday’s governorship election.
He ascribed it all to the party’s members’ hard.
Tinubu said Ambode’s victory was predicated on the radical
transformation and well-articulated programmes he started 16 years ago, hinting
that Lagos would start another race in its transformation drive given its
alignment with the federal government.
The former Lagos governor hailed the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) candidate, Mr Jimi Agbaje, for his statesmanship, describing him as a man
of good values and character.
“We must bear in mind that a good democrat must accept result of
a free and fair election.,” he said.
Tinubu said Agbaje showed good spirit by calling Ambode on
telephone to congratulate him and for accepting his party’s loss
in Saturday’s poll.
Tinubu said: “Our victory in Lagos is as a result of hard work I
started 16 years ago. Constistent radical transformation of Lagos and
well-articulated programmes, including education, infrastructure, urban
renewal, innovative system of finance, knowledge-based economy and job creation
in partnership with private sector. That resulted in leap development of
Lagos.”
The APC leader said there would always be a winner in all
contest, congratulating Ambode for his success.
Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola described the APC victory in
Lagos as product of good leadership exhibited by the outgoing governor, saying
the victory came with a task to meet people’s expectations in service delivery
and good governance. He praised Ambode’s fighting spirit.
Lagos Commissioner for Environment Tunji Bello said the victory
would take the state to another level of development.
