Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Monday alighted from his vehicle to assist in the rescue of an accident victim.

The victim, Miss Anukam Angela, who was driving alone in a wine Toyota Corolla with number plate EKY 415 CG, at about 8.15am, lost control and rammed into the median of the road along Osborne Road, Ikoyi, before the vehicle somersaulted.

Ambode, who was heading to the office through the direction before the incident occurred, ordered his convoy to stop at the scene so as to enable him to assess the situation as well as help rescue the passengers.

The governor instructed the ambulance attached to his convoy to convey the victim, who was in a state of shock, and could barely move or talk, to the Lagos Island General Hospital for treatment.

Angela’s sister, Amaka, who was contacted shortly after the crash, said she was treated for minor injuries free and discharged on the order of the governor.

She said the ambulance also conveyed her sister back to her residence at 3, Efosa Ehiedu Close, off Modupe Thomas Estate, Ajah, while the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority assisted in towing the vehicle away from the roadside to prevent traffic gridlock.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Habib Aruna, said, “What the governor has done is typical of him. It is indeed a demonstration of his concern to the well-being of every resident and Miss Angela is not an exception.

“He has also, with this act, shown his commitment to an all inclusive approach in protecting the lives and property of citizens in the state.”

Your guess is as good as mine.

The govs are now trying to outdo one another. The people will benefit.

Ambo... The right Governor for Lagosians.

I never wasted my vote on Ambode Akinwunmi.
God bless Lagosians

Over to the police who will charge the woman N200,000 bribe for damage to public properties

Punch! Why did you stop at giving only the victim's address? You should have also given the whole world her room/apartment #. phone #, banking information and more... Junk journalism!

Leading by example. .. An exemplary Leader

I am not impressed.

Good one Ambode. Thank God the casualty level was not severe.

I am not impressed.

Of course you can't ever be. Kudos to the man though. Lagosians couldn't have hoped for someone better. All the best in his tenure.

This appears like a well rehearsed event to me.

Hopefully waiting for a counter tread

Thank you Mr Governor.

Impressive. That is how it should be, after all these are the people who were responsible for the votes cast and they are not less human.

Welldome my governor, haters will call it show off, if you hadn't stop they will say you don't have empathy. They must talk and you must work.
