In a show of solidarity, the youths in Lagos under the aegis “Ambode Youth Initiative” (AYI), gathered for the 10,000-Man walk in support of the candidacy of Akinwunmi Ambode, the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos.
The solidarity walk was
convened by the AYI in conjunction with the volunteer arm of Mr. Ambode’s
Campaign organization, Team A+, and was also intended to further sensitize the
Lagos populace on the excellent personality of the governorship candidate.
The youths were joined in
the walk by the candidate himself, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, his running mate, Dr.
(Mrs) Oluranti Adebule, APC party stalwarts, Nollywood celebrities, Foremost
entertainers, and other well-meaning Lagosians.
A visibly happy Ambode
thanked the youths for the overwhelming turnout and appreciated the strength of
all that had come out to participate in the walk. After he had danced to the
cheerful tunes made by the mammoth crowd, Akinwunmi Ambode gave a speech that
reassured them of excellent governance if elected as the next governor of the
state.
He said, “We are starting
our campaign with the youths, and we do this in order to be true to our
intention of creating a new platform that will take our youths to the next
level. We are giving governance back to the youths, and I promise you a
governance that will also bridge between the elderly and the youths”
Speaking further, Mr.
Ambode said, “We have two major concerns for Lagos, that is, the security and a
stable economy for Lagos. This is in-view of creating more jobs for our youths
in a secure environment”.
The State’s APC party
Chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale, also used the moment to canvass support for the
man he described as the “best man for the job”. Desmond Elliot, a Nollywood
actor and also a Lagos State House of Assembly candidate, spoke on behalf of
the celebrities and entertainers present at the walk, assuring of total support
for Ambode’s candidature both during the campaign and in the election.
Mr. Taiwo Aiyedun, a leader
in the AYI, urged all the youths and also all well-meaning Lagosians to support
and elect Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode as the next governor of the state to ensure
continuity of excellence and better engagement of the youths, after which he
gave a vote of thanks.
The walk kicked off at the
Maryland Comprehensive College, Maryland around 9:00a.m, and was rounded off at
the Gani Fawehinmi Park, in Ojota
