Ambode: Silencing opposition with performance


Wale Elegbede reports on the several accomplishments of the Akinwunmi Ambode administration in Lagos State in the last one year, which even his critics cannot dispute

At the early stage of the administration in Lagos State, the discourse in the public space was about the competence and capacity of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

But for a man who knows his own onions very well, having reached the zenith of the civil service before voluntarily retiring, he chose rather not to join issues with anyone but concentrate on his mandate to deliver good governance to Lagosians irrespective of what part of the state they reside.

Fresh from an election where Lagos residents voted en mass for him and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the governor knew that his major challengers at the poll are still lurking around to cast aspersion on his policies, but interestingly, one year after, the very opponents have been wowed by the sterling achievements of the former Accountant General of Lagos.

A scenario that has been aptly tagged silencing opposition with achievements.

For those who know how to read issues, the governor’s current goodwill and popularity didn’t just spring up overnight.

It was a case of diligence; hardwork and the ability to listen to the very people you want to serve.
