Key members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos have voiced their support for awarding the party’s gubernatorial ticket to the state’s former governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
They cite his proven ability to significantly advance the state’s development.
Oluwaseyi Bamigbade, a prominent APC figure in Lagos, highlighted that Ambode’s previous four-year term was marked by substantial infrastructural growth.
This advocacy aligns with the desires of the Muslim community in Lagos, who, as reported by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), seek a Muslim governor by 2027.
Bamigbade noted the growing daily calls for Ambode’s return to office in 2027 to further his impactful work on Lagos’s development, emphasizing the belief that he deserves another term as permitted by the constitution.
Bamigbede said, ‘’Within four years in office, he remodelled Lagos, making it an investment destination for big businesses from within and outside the country. He massively touched the lives of millions of Lagosians in every sphere such that it would appear as if he had been in office for a far longer period.
‘’He caused a paradigm shift, taking the government from the urban centre to the suburbs and opening up their narrow roads, giving them modern streets with lights that also link the arterial highways. It’s been a seamless arrangement that has prevented traffic glut on the expressways.
