The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights on Monday
described the outgoing Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, as “an
achiever that Lagosians will miss.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that Mr Alex Omotehinse,
the Chairman of the Lagos State branch of CDHR, said Ambode’s achievements were numerous for any
resident to gloss over or forget soon.
“The Lagos State branch appreciates the outgoing Governor,
Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, for the good works he has been doing in the state for the
past three and a half years.
“Without any fear or favour and with utmost sincerity, Mr
Akinwunmi Ambode has demonstrated his genuine sincerity of purpose and
pro-people’s policy in governance which has distinguished him as an achiever in
less than four years, between 2015 and 2019.
“The working governor has touched almost every nook and
cranny of the state in terms of developmental projects that are visible for any
doubting Thomas to see.
“As a pro-democracy and human rights organisation, we were
disappointed that a performing and a reference point governor within and
outside his party did not have the opportunity to finish the good work he has
started.
“We believe Lagosians have started missing him from the day
he was denied a second term ticket by his party,” Omotehinse said in a
statement.
“We, therefore,
implore the governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to ensure the completion of all
the nearly-completed projects of Ambode,” Omotehinse said.
