Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives from Lagos State on Saturday endorsed Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode for a second term in office.
“We are members of the House of Representatives APC caucus from Lagos State.
“We all came into Lagos today to perform a very unique and sacred duty; something we did not take very lightly at all; something we deliberated over a couple of days ago and we spoke with one voice.
“Because of the giant strides of our amiable governor in the last two and a half years in governing the state, 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.
Responding, Ambode thanked the federal legislators for the honour done to him, saying the endorsement would spur him to do more for the people.
“I am greatly humbled to receive the APC caucus in the House of Representatives from Lagos State.
“I am more delighted that this word of encouragement by way of this letter is to inspire me further to continue to render service to the good people of Lagos.
“I want to thank you so much for the honour you have done me; I receive it with all humility and I pray that God gives us the grace to actually honour all the letters and the words in this message,” Ambode said.
