Speaking through his Director of Communications, Steve Ayorinde, the APC candidate said Lagos State would benefit from an APC-led government at the federal level.

“The entertainment and tourism sectors will benefit tremendously from an APC-led government at the centre from May 29. We are not talking about occasional monetary hand-outs to select artistes. We are concerned about building enduring structures and empowering creative artistes and producers who invest their time and resources in these thriving sectors," he began.

Continuing, he said, “With an APC-led government at the centre and in Lagos, our aim is to work with the federal government to have the at Iganmu rehabilitated once and for all, and turn it into a profitable base for artistes. We can extend similar thoughts to the and . Those places should not be dead-ends.

"Yes, they are Federal Government properties but they are in Lagos and an APC-led government at the centre and in Lagos State will work in sync to turn those places around. This is why it is of utmost importance that Lagosians take advantage of this God-given victory of last Saturday to vote to retain APC in Lagos State. We have waited for 16 years for this to happen and we shouldn’t blow it now,” Ambode said.
