The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has declared his readiness for the Saturday’s primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ambode explained that he was restating his readiness in line with the choice of the party in the state and the validation given to the direct primary preference by the Governor’s Advisory Council.

This was contained in a statement issued by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, on Wednesday.

Ambode said, “As our great party approaches Saturday, September 29th, 2018, earmarked for the direct primary election to choose the candidate to fly our party’s gubernatorial flag at the next general election, I am happy to restate my commitment to participate in that process having procured and submitted my nomination form and having formally declared my intention to seek a second term to continue on the path of unprecedented growth and development that our State has witnessed since 2015”.

Ambode also expressed gratitude to the National Leader of the Party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; party elders and executives; GAC members; all APC members and every Lagosian “whose support, understanding and prayers have assisted me in no small measures in being used as an instrument through which our State has redefined the concept of greatness”.
