The Path Of Continuity And Progress Assured..Ambode by sammiestar(op): 10:21am On Apr 14, 2015
FELLOW LAGOSIANS, yesterday, election day,
History beckoned. Courage stood tall. Fairness
and Justice raised their heads. Democracy blew
its trumpet. You, the people, the electorate,
answered its call by marching to a victory only
you could achieve.

You contested against an old and ancient device,
the use of money and power to manipulate the
result and thwart democracy. In the end, the
sovereign will of the people proved worthier than
money and mightier than brute force. Your
collective voice remained the voice of Lagos.


Now, the official announcement from INEC has

are the people of Lagos state. I accept this
victory on your behalf.

cast your vote. Not even the threats of our
opponents to unleash mayhem could have kept
you from having a date with destiny. And
because you have answered our call to come
out and vote and handed your party, APC victory
at the polls you have sealed a pact with
democracy and good governance.

I am humbled that you have placed your trust
and faith in me. The love of this state and our
common belief in what we can accomplish, our
belief in what this state already is, and in what
it is destined to become binds us together in a
social and moral contract of high purpose.
I shall honor that contract with every fiber of my
being. This day I pledge to you that I shall...
