The Former Governor of the State of Excellence (Lagos), Ambode - turns 60 (14 June 1963). The Present Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday visited his predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode, at his residence on the occasion of his 60th birthday celebration.
Governor Babajide shocked many with his good wishes and visit as both were not in good terms prior to the 2019 governorship election. Both contested the APC primary election for the Governorship ticket of the State, but Babajide with the support of the party, eventually clinched the APC party ticket.
Sanwo-olu wrote: Today, I joined family and friends at an intimate gathering celebrating my predecessor, former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on his milestone birthday.
I wish him many more fruitful years in good health and with a sound mind. Amen.
On behalf of my dear wife, Ibijoke, the government and good people of Lagos State, I join family, friends and political associates of my predecessor, former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to congratulate him on his 60th birthday.
Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode dedicated his young and adult life to the service of Lagos State, first as a civil servant and later as the 14th Governor of our dear State.
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.
He recorded same achievements as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance and as the State’s Accountant General.
He also made positive and significant impacts in some sectors during his tenure as Lagos State Governor, working for the continuous growth and development of our State.
I wish His Excellency, former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode a happy birthday and pray that he witnesses many more fruitful years in good health. Amen.
