“As we celebrate Ambode at 52 today, the thinking is that he has not arrived, even if materially he is classed as among the Joneses. He has not arrived in the sense that he wants to be judged more by how he strives to lift the poor from their poverty, how his government initiates and pursues policies to identify the administration as a compassionate one, how his team relates with the man in the street and how state institutions help the people to live their dreams.”

The governor had earlier said that his birthday celebration would be dedicated to the fight against cancer.
