All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council, a group within the ruling party, has felicitated with former governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, on the occasion of his 60th birthday, describing him as a visionary leader whose commitment to a greater Lagos is contagious.
The Council said this in a goodwill message signed by its Director General, Hon. Seyi Bamigbade, and further described Ambode as a seasoned administrator, who contributed immensely through his knowledge and expertise to the growth of the public service in Lagos State.
According to the Council, Ambode contributed in no small measure as a former Accountant-General, as well as ex-governor to the growth and development of Lagos State in different capacities, especially in the finance sector, declaring that his contributions to the development of the state would remain indelible in the annals of the state.
“On behalf of the board of the Council, I congratulate an amiable leader and a fine gentleman whose commitment to a greater Lagos is contagious.
“No doubt a fine gentleman and a trans-generational leader, His Excellency, former governor Ambode, is a dedicated nationalist who has built bridges of peace and unity across the ethnic divides through the creation of opportunity for people of all ethnic nationalities to live and thrive in Lagos.
”As Council Treasurer, Auditor General for Local Government, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance and Accountant-General of Lagos State, he displayed a high level of integrity, dedication and professionalism to service in the public sector,” Bamigbade said.
The APC chieftain, while applauding Ambode for remaining dedicated to the ideals of the ruling party, noted that Ambode’s technical and administrative expertise would be needed for greater national services.
