Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Tuesday said all the decisions, plans, programmes and policies of his administration in the last four years were taken with the best interest of Lagos in mind and for common good of all residents of the state.
Mr Ambode, in a farewell state broadcast on Tuesday to officially mark the end of his administration, said the driving force with respect to programmes executed was to lift more people out of poverty and make every part of the state economically viable and livable.
“For this administration, policies, programmes and projects aimed at lifting more of our people out of poverty and making every part of the State safe, accessible and economically viable were always the priority; the driving force behind all our decisions and plans,” Ambode said.
“A few of our policies might have been unpopular but these were decisions taken with the best interest of our State in mind. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe we could have done some things differently but our intention was always clear, for the good of Lagos.”
He thanked the people for the constructive feedback to some of the policies of his administration which, according to him, helped to surmount challenges.
“As in the beginning when we visited every single corner of this state listening to you and asking for your votes, I have felt the power of your support, your collective energy and the endless goodwill that has propelled us to achieve many things,” he said.
Ambode also urged all stakeholders to support the incoming administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, saying such would be in the best interest of all.
