Is Akinwunmi Ambode the Man for Lagos?

Akinwunmi Ambode is running for Lagos State Governor on the platform of the APC. But is he the man for Lagos? Should we vote him on Saturday?

Here are 5 reasons we think you should vote him and APC in Lagos:

1) Is Ambode Qualified?
The simple fact is that Akinwunmi Ambode is the more experienced & qualified of the two candidates. Not only has he spent 27 years in public service including the highest levels of government; he’s studied for this role at the best schools in the world.

It’s a perfect combination - academic excellence and real-world experience.

2) Lagos & Abuja Aligned
Jimi Agbaje said that it’s good for Lagos to be aligned with Abuja. We agree.

In the past 16 years, Lagos has been in opposition to Abuja. At best, our policies have been misaligned; at worst, they’ve been directly curtailed.

True change is the ability to be aligned for the first time in our democracy. This is an opportunity too good to pass up. Let’s not pass it up!

3) Let’s Stick to the Plan
One of the banes of development in Nigeria is fluctuation in policy. Lagos APC has solved this by developing a master plan which successive governors have executed.

For example, Fashola completed Tinubu’s BRT project, and today leaves the rail line, Lekki FTZ as well as numerous projects needing completion.

Ambode has worked on executing the plan and is committed to continuing the development of Lagos.

4) Show Me Your Friends.
On one hand, you have Team APC; on the other Team PDP.

The Financial Times says about Tinubu "According to both detractors and fans, one of his attributes... has been to spot talent and nurture it." The rest of the team includes Pres-Elect Buhari, VP-Elect Osinbajo & Gov Fashola,

On the other hand, Bode George was jailed for massive fraud at the NPA. Other members of the team include Obanikoro of the Ekiti rigging fame, Ogunlewe (ex-FERMA boss) and the Jonathans.

5) Lagos for Everyone
Akinwunmi Ambode is truly committed to a Lagos for EVERYONE regardless of tribe, religion or gender.

That’s why he’s promised to help create a better environment for business and traders; invest in women and help young people access up to N25billion in seed funding for new businesses.

APC & Akinwunmi Ambode are the right choice for Lagos. Vote smart on Saturday!
