365 Days after: My governorship mandate, an assignment from God- Ambode...

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, at a thanksgiving service held at the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja on Sunday, said his ascension into office one year ago as the 14th Governor of the State was an assignment from God, just as he vowed to continue to serve humanity selflessly throughout his tenure and lifetime.

His Words:

 “Exactly a year ago today, I stood before a larger congregation trying to commit myself to the opportunity that you gave me to serve you and I have tried as much as possible not to misplace that opportunity. 
“I just want to thank everybody for believing in me. When I became a politician, I used to call myself a techno-politician, that is a technocrat and a politician. I never believed that I could ever survive up till this moment if not for the grace of God. 
“I believe so much that this is an assignment from God and that is why I am doing it with all my totality and give back to humanity. God has been too kind to me and for that reason, I have decided that I will serve the people selflessly to the will of God,” the Governor said. 
Governor Ambode, also thanked those that stood by him,his ma, family and his wife, Bolanle, who he described as a prayer warrior standing in the gap of prayer for him. The Governor also thanked the National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Governor of the State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Oba of Lagos, HRM Oba Rilwan Akiolu for believing in him and supporting him. 
He said: “I want to openly thank God for using them (Tinubu and Akiolu) and believing in me as well as supporting me and giving me to Lagos State. I want to thank all our party members and leaders led by the State Chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale. As much I was new, I was the new face of Lagos and they supported me.”
He thanked members of the State Executive Council, civil servants, religious leaders, the Judiciary and the Legislature, saying the three arms of government in the State have worked greatly together in the last one year, which was why the State is progressing.
