THE governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has promised to build on the legacies of the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola.

Ambode, who recently defeated 12 other governorship aspirants of the party at the primaries, said the state would witness increased economic growth, if he won the 2015 elections.

He made the remarks at a thanksgiving service in his honour at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos, a statement said on Sunday.

He said, We have a legacy to build upon, and it is our collective responsibility to build on the progress that Lagos has witnessed in the last 15 years.

I wish to restate my promise, that I commit to the continuation of excellence and the uplift of the lives of all Lagosians.

My mission and vision, is to create a clean, secure and prosperous Lagos State that is driven by a vibrant economy and supported by quality service, equity and justice; a Lagos where no one is left behind and where no one is discriminated against on account of age, religion, creed or origin.

In building on the legacies of the last 15 years, it is important to expand the frontiers of doing business in this state that has the potential to be one of the top five economies in Africa. Lagos deserves nothing less and this will continue to be part of my message to every Lagosian as we begin to solicit their votes towards the February 2015 governorship election.

He added that his over 27 years experience in public service would be an asset to the state if he became the governor in 2015.

Ambode is a graduate of the University of Lagos and a Fulbright scholar and Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.

For 13 years, he was in service as a treasurer/accountant, across various local government areas in the state. He was later made the Auditor General of local government areas in Lagos, before becoming the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance and Accountant General of the state.

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is angry with the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, as a result of the latters conduct before and during the just concluded APC governorship primary in the state.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that Tinubu became angry when Fashola initially told him that he did not have a particular candidate for the APC primary only to emerge much later with a former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Mr. Olasupo Shahore, as his (the governor) preferred candidate.

Akinwunmi Ambode, who defeated 12 other aspirants, had remained in public discourse as Tinubus favourite.

The other aspirants are Sasore; Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji; a former Commissioner for Health, Dr. Leke Pitan; an incumbent Commissioner for Works, Obafemi Hamzat; a former aide to Tinubu, Mr. Tayo Ayinde; Mr. Adekunle Disu, Mr. Wahab Tokunbo, Mr. Olanrewaju Ope and a former Commissioner for Rural Affairs, Mr. Tola Kasali.

Ambode polled 3,735 votes to emerge the partys candidate for the February 2015 election. Hamzat, who came a distant second, polled 1,201 votes.

But a source close to the APC chieftain told one of our correspondents that the former governor was not only angry with Fashola, but was disappointed in him.He said anger was a mild word to use in the situation, noting that the governor had a right to have a candidate. He said all Tinubu wanted was to know his mind.

The source said, But Fashola kept Tinubu guessing. He told him he did not have a candidate. Though there were signs and media reports that he was backing someone, but Tinubu could not be relying on media reports about the governor in a situation like this.

In fact, Asiwaju told him that he had a candidate and sought the governors support for him. The governor said he had no candidate only for him to emerge with a candidate in the last minute. Asiwaju did not know where the governor stood.

I believe with the outcome of the primary, the governor will have enough time to reflect.

Saturday Punch also learnt that there was already a crack in the wall of the camp of disgruntled governorship aspirants as their voices were no longer united on their next action.
