Ambode: I’ll respect lawmakers

An All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Akinwumi Ambode, has promised to respect the legislature, if he is elected.

He spoke at a private dinner with members of the House of Assembly as part of his mobilisation drive to emerge the candidate.

His campaign got a boost with the attendance of 36 of the 40 members. The lawmakers gave him a standing ovation.



Ambode told them he would not only respect the legislature if elected, but he would also submit himself to the party’s authority.

The aspirant promised to build on the achievements of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Governor Babatunde Fashola.

He also highlighted his core programmes under the acronym: LAGOS – Leadership, Accountability, Good Governance, Opportunities and Service and promised not to let the state down.

 Ambode, who declared to run at the Onikan Stadium last month, will begin a tour of the local governments today, according to a statement by his campaign organisation.
