Groups endorse Ambode’s governorship ambition: As Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, former Accountant-General of Lagos State, formally declares his governorship aspiration today under the All Progressives Congress (APC), two ethnic groups, the Lagos Coalition of Northern Indigenes and the Niger Delta United Front yesterday threw their weight behind his ambition. This was expressed in separate press statements by the Lagos Coalition of Northern Indigenes and the Niger Delta United Front, both pledging to rally support for Ambode to enable him triumph in next month’s APC governorship primaries and the eventual election in February 2015. In its statement, the Lagos Coalition of Northern Indigenes explained that its endorsement of Ambode’s governorship aspiration, was due to his leadership qualities and previous achievements. The statement said the coalition endorsed the aspirant because of his broad national outlook, which gives him the advantage over others to rule a cosmopolitan state like Lagos. The statement noted the governorship aspirant’s social welfare programmes for the needy, especially indigent residents of Lagos, aspiring entrepreneurs, youths and vulnerable wemen. “The APC has in Ambode an available asset that is acceptable to people of diverse cultures living in the state and who are willing to vote for him when eventually picked by the party in its coming primary. His laudable antecedents while in the service of the state and philanthropic activities afterwards to all without discrimination place him above others in our view in the Hausa community,” the coalition said.
