The outgoing governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, has said he gave his best for the state through his 4 years in office.
Okay Nigeria News learned that the governor said this while speaking to newsmen after inaugurating a 400-seater Lagos theatre on Friday night in Epe area of the state.
Ambode expressed his gratitude to God for giving him the grace to serve humanity and govern Lagos.
“This is more of a fulfilling day for me. If there is anything for me to say, it’s that I am fulfilled that a day like this can come in the history of this town. Four days to go in four years, we have turned things around,” he said.
“God has given us the grace that I can come back here and actually spend my last weekend of those four years with my people. We are very delighted that among the theatres that we have established, we have the opportunity to come and commission the one in Epe.
“I am very grateful to God.You never planned what you met on the way. Having had that opportunity to be elected as governor and for four years, one is able to do it in good health and mind. To God be the glory.
“The main purpose of governance is giving back to humanity and serving selflessly. All that put together, I am happy I was able to do that and God gave me the grace. The fact that I am also leaving in good health, is a sort of fulfilment for me.”
Ambode is expected to hand over to Babajide Sanwoolu, the governor-elect of Lagos, on Tuesday.
