Lagos State members of the All Progressives Congress in the House of Representatives, on Saturday, endorsed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for a second term in office.
They cited the massive infrastructural development in all sectors and sections of the state as their reason for taking the decision.
The APC caucus in the House led by the Majority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, presented a letter to the governor, asking him to recontest in 2019.
Addressing journalists on the endorsement, Gbajabiamila said the lawmakers were proud to associate with the achievements of the governor so far and would support him for another term in office.
“Because of the giant strides of our amiable governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, in the last two and a half years in governing the state; because of the things he has done across board, across all the local government areas, in different sectors, we sat together and we decided without a dissenting voice to seek his audience and endorse him for re-election in 2019 as the governor of Lagos State,” he said.
He urged the governor to see the endorsement as a call to do more for the people of the state in 2019.
