The Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, have promised Lagosians positive change and improvement in their living standard, if elected into office today.
Ambode, who spoke to reporters after casting his ballot in his ancestral home in Epe, said he is very optimistic that he would win the election. He said with his party controlling the government at the centre, his administration would be able to take advantage of the benefits and support from the Federal Government to make life better for the people of Lagos.
He said: “There are two things that government is expected to do: to guarantee the safety and wellbeing of the citizenry. We are going to have safer Lagos; we are going to have a Lagos that would make more people more prosperous. That’s the essence of governance and that’s what the APC stands to give the people of Lagos.”
On what his reaction would be if he loses the contest, Ambode said what matters is the will of the people as expressed in the voting. Nevertheless, he expressed optimism that he would the win the election.
He said: “This is democracy; there is always a winner and a loser in a democratic election. What is important is to let our people speak and make their choice. We would respect their choice. Once we are able yo do so, we’re on our way forward in the country.”
Ambode said the conduct of INEC in this governorship and House of Assembly election is an improvement on what was witnessed two weeks ago.
He said the turnout in his polling unit is higher and that the report he is getting from other polling units suggests that the turnout is impressive elsewhere in the state.
