I will build a stadium in Ajegunle -- Ambode

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode, has promised to build a world-class stadium for residents of Ajegunle, a surburb in the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.

He said if voted into power, he would help to develop young talents in the area by providing enabling social amenities and infrastructure.

Ambode, who spoke during a rally on Thursday, said he had lived and worked in the area as a local government worker and understood the needs of the people.

He added that he would continue from where the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola, stopped.

He said, “I have worked and lived here before. I know what you want and I am going to do it for you. I have learnt from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola; I am better than other governorship candidates and I am going to complete all ongoing projects by the state governor.

“We have great entertainers and footballers here, why can’t we produce world champions from here? We are going to construct a stadium for you here that will look like the Maracana stadium and also encourage the artistes to become world class.”

He also pledged to ensure that upcoming artistes were given due recognition and empowered to compete on the international stage.

The governorship candidate said he was the most competent among the governorship contestants, calling on the residents not to give their votes to someone who wanted to experiment with governance.

Earlier, the state party Chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale, had urged the residents to crave for a new Nigeria by voting APC candidates at all levels, saying Nigerians deserved a better life than what they currently experience..

*Nice promises especially as i was born and raised in that Local Government Area...I must confess that Ajegunle indeed needs to be provided with basic social amenities to enable residents thrive and able to compete with members of the larger global society....
Ambode's promises should be lauded, but we hope its not just a promise made in order to secure their votes...
