The Chairmen of 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local
Council Development Areas (LCDAs) of Lagos State on Sunday unanimously endorse
the State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for a second term in office.
Rising from a meeting with the Governor at Lagos House
in Alausa, Ikeja, the council chiefs said their decision to support Governor
Ambode for another term was on account of the need to allow him continue with
the massive infrastructural renewal and transformation of all parts of the
State.
The Governor had in recent time received series of
endorsements for a second term in office from critical stakeholders and sectors
in the State.
The Chairmen, who spoke through the Chairman of
Conference of LGs and LCDAs in the State, Hon Omolola Essien, said the
achievements of the Governor in office so far were visible to all.
Essien, who is also the Chairman of Lagos Mainland
Local Government, said the unanimous endorsement of the Governor was the second
time the council chiefs would be doing such having earlier endorsed him
individually.
“We the Chairmen of the 20 Local Government Areas and
37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) of Lagos State are all here to
reaffirm our endorsement of our Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for second term.
“Our decision to support him for another term in office
is based on the fact that he has performed extremely well; we can all see that
everything that he has done in Lagos State, no other state has been able to do
that.
“He has done very well and there is still continuation
of a lot of things to be done which the Governor is actively implementing. We
are here reaffirming our position because we have already endorsed him before
now,” Essien said.
Also speaking, Chairman of Bariga LCDA, Hon Kolade
David Alabi, said the achievements of the Governor so far in office were
evident for everyone to see, adding that the decision to support him was to
allow continuity of the good works.
“We are all here today and we have resolved to endorse
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for second term in office; he has performed
creditably well and what he has done is what the legal people call res ipsa
loquitur that is the fact speaks for itself. Everywhere in Lagos there is
construction work going on and of course we have to give him another four years
to consolidate on what he has done since assuming office.
“So, we have all resolved to endorse him for second
term. This is our second time of endorsing the Governor; we have done that
first simultaneously in all the 57 councils and we are here again to
unanimously endorse him for second term,” Alabi said.
