Every community will feel our government’s pulse – Ambode

The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Sunday restated his commitment to keep faith with the promise he made during the electioneering campaign to run an all-inclusive government, where every community will not be left out in the scheme of affairs.
Governor Ambode, who spoke while flagging off the ‘One Lagos Fiesta’ at the Agege Stadium, said the programme was in fulfilment of his campaign promise, as well as improving on what he met on ground on all fronts.
The ‘One Lagos Fiesta’, an initiative of the present administration, is tailored towards ushering in the New Year.
It is designed to hold between December 27, 2015 and January 1, 2016 simultaneously in five locations across the state.
The are Epe, Badagry, Ikorodu, Agege and Lagos Island.
Speaking at the event, Governor Ambode recalled the last time he visited Agege Stadium during the electioneering campaign, saying he was back again to fulfill one of the promises made to the people then.
He said: “The last time I came to this stadium was during the campaign and I came with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The President has been so magnanimous.
“He has sent us the Minister of Information and Culture to come back here and say a big thank you to all of you.
“We promised you that we are going to bring governance to the communities.
“We promised you that we are going to have a government of inclusion where all of you will be included in everything that we will be doing in Lagos State.
“That is why we are here to say that One Lagos Fiesta is about all of you and it is about the rest of Lagos.
“We want every youth and every parent to enjoy what others have been enjoying through the nook and crannies of the state.
“That is why we have decided to have a five-day programme that will be done in Badagry, Agege, Epe, Ikorodu and Lagos Island.
“This is the first place I’m visiting and that means you mean a lot to me.”
The Governor said his administration was working hard to make Lagos work for all, just as he assured Lagosians that good things would start happening in Agege and indeed in the whole of Lagos going forward.
Also speaking, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, thanked Governor Ambode for showing love to the people of the state, especially Agege, and promised the people that government would ensure that the next edition will be bigger and better.
Prominent musicians, including Dbanj and Seun Kuti, performed at the Fiesta.
