“We know that this community will move forward and there will be tremendous progress if Olaitan is elected.
“Let us go house to house and pronounce further that Olaitan is one of us and he will represent us fully.
“That is what we have promised you, when we make promises, we fulfill more than what we promised,” Ambode said.
The governor promised massive transformation in the state, particularly in the rural areas.
“I tell you, by this time next year, you will not believe the progress Lagos has made,” Ambode said.
