Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has restated his commitment to keep faith with the promise he made during the campaign to run an all-inclusive government, where no community would be left out in the scheme of affairs. The Sun.
Governor Ambode, who spoke while flagging off the ‘One Lagos Fiesta’ at the Agege Stadium, said the programme was in fulfillment of his campaign promise, as well as
improving on what he met on ground.
The ‘One Lagos Fiesta’, an initiative of the present
administration, tailored towards ushering in the New Year, is scheduled to hold between December 27 and January 1, 2016 simultaneously in five locations across the state, including Epe, Badagry, Ikorodu, Agege and Lagos Island. Speaking at the event, Governor Ambode recalled the last time he visited Agege Stadium during the campaign, saying he was back again to fulfill one of the promises made to the people then.
He said: “The last time came to this stadium was during the campaign and I came with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The President has been so magnanimous, he sent the Minister of Information and Culture to come back here and say a big thank you to all of you.
“We promised that we are going to bring governance to the communities; we promised to run a government of inclusion where all of you will be included in everything that we will be doing in Lagos State.
“That is why we are here to say that ‘One Lagos Fiesta’ is about all of you and it is about the rest of Lagos. We want every youth and every parent to enjoy what others have been enjoying in the nook and crannies of the state.
“That is why we have decided to have a five-day
programme that will be done in Badagry, Agege, Epe, Ikorodu and Lagos Island. This is the first place I’m visiting and that means you mean a lot to me,” Governor Ambode said.
He added that his administration was working hard to make Lagos work for all, just as he assured that good things would start happening in Agege, and indeed in the whole of Lagos going forward.
