A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Kamal Ayinde Bayewu, has defended Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, saying he has achieved a lot in 100 days in office.
This is coming after Nigerians on Twitter bashed Ambode and dragged his name through the mud.
During an interview, Bayewu said Ambode’s 100 days in office has been eventful and productive because he has put things in place, which will in the long run be of immense benefit to the state.
“He has been able to take care of the elderly ones in terms of payment of their pensions. He has been able to look at the health sector in terms of provision of equipment like well-equipped ambulances and creation of emergency centres in case of accidents.
“A number of tragedies have happened in Lagos and the governor promptly attended to them while also assuring the victims of government support. That is the hallmark of a good leader.
“That is exactly what Lagosians voted for. We voted for continuity. So, being an experienced man, who has been part of the government of Lagos State, he knows what to do.
“They can’t just come in and start working immediately. By the time the governor is done with the blueprint, I am sure the cabinet will be in place.
“But I want to assure Lagosians that the governor will appoint the very best to work with him, people who share his dreams and vision for Lagos.
“People with integrity, who are ready to render selfless service with competence that will translate to a better society,” he added.
