Ambode’s wife is one in a Million ...Says Group

Itesiwaju Ipinle Eko Vanguard, a Lagos based group made up of social activist, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), artisans, political groups and youths, in felicitating with the wife of Lagos State Governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode as she added another to her age, described her as one in a million, for her staunch support of her husband’s progressive work for Lagos, and for being a woman of the people.

Bamigbade Seyi the coordinator, said this when the group recently visited Alhaji Musa Muhammed, Lagos State Chairman, Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), at his office in Alimosho, Lagos, where the group shared its enthusiasm for the ongoing voter card registration and positive mobilization, for Akinwunmi Ambode 2^nd term in office.

He described the wife of the Governor of Lagos State, as a role model and shining star in the state’s political firmament. “Bolanle is a detribalized Lagosian who has traversed the length and breadth of the state, helping less privileged people, seeking the emancipation of women and the youths for an egalitarian society. He said.

“Her undying love for the downtrodden, the deprived and the ordinary folks cuts across the state and this is widely acknowledged, while her unflinching backing for the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration has helped tremendously in the fulfillment of its electioneering promises to Lagosians.’’

Bamigbade also acknowledged Bolanle’s support to the Governor, saying this had served as a motivating factor for the successes.

“As you are savouring the joy of this occasion, it is our prayer that God Almighty strengthens you so that you can continue working beyond 2019 for the betterment of your fatherland,’’ he said.

Alhaji Musa Muhammed, the Lagos State Chairman, Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), thanked the Itesiwaju Ipinle Eko Vangarud for their tirelessness in ensuring Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode win with more votes in the coming party primary and the general election. He also said the association has set up committees to enforce that all their members at motor parks across the state have voters card. He said the directive is noted as ‘Operation No P.V.C No Work.’ This he said will contribute towards the success of the Governor’s second term ambition.

“We have no worries because of the things the governor has done across board, across all the Local Government Areas, across different sectors, we have decided without a rebellious expression to seek his re-election in 2019 as the Governor of Lagos State,” he said.

“We are also happy that Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives from Lagos State on Saturday endorsed the State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for a second term in office, citing the massive infrastructural development and giant strides in all sectors and sections of the State. We are also happy that the APC Caucus in the House led by the Majority Leader, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, has also presented a letter to the Governor at Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja asking him to re-contest in 2019,” Alhaji Musa Mohammed added.
