recorded by former governors of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the incumbent, Mr. Raji Fashola, SAN, to another level, informed his ambition to govern the state in 2015.
He insists his ambition has
no ethnic colouration, stressing that the various ethnic nationalities in the
state will be carried along if he picks his party nomination and wins the 2015
governorship election in 2015.
This came as Chief Imam of
the Lagos State House of Assembly, Alhaji Abdulhakeem AbdulLateef, dismissed
claims that the Muslim community would not work for the victory of Ambode at
the gubernatorial primaries and governorship election.
Ambode spoke, yesterday, in
Lagos, at the commissioning of his campaign secretariat and inauguration of
campaign committees in all the local governments across the state.
According to Abode: ‘’This campaign has no
coloration, so we are carrying everyone along. Whether you are Igbo, Hausa,
Yoruba or Urhobo, you have a place in this project. We are one. We want to
create a new level of leadership that will challenge the status quo to ensure
that our people are freed from poverty.
“The work we are going to
do is for Lagos State. I want our people to do it selflessly without recourse
to monetary gains. We have been working on this project for a long time. We are
here to present banners to all local government areas in the state to enable
our people carry out house-to-house campaign in the 377 wards in the state.
‘’We have succeeded in
bringing all the legacy groups together. These groups are going to work for our
victory in their various local government areas. The reason for setting up
these committees is to give governance back to the communities. The standards
set by our leader, Tinubu and the actualisation of that dream by Governor
Fashola, has to be taken to another level to ensure continuity. Nobody was
coerced to come here. The population of the people here shows you the direction
the state is headed to.’’
