It was an instantaneous expression of joy and excitement as scores of residents and party faithful defied the Monday downpour to welcome the Lagos helmsman back to Lagos.
Ambode began by thanking all who stood with him in last three and half years of selfless service.
The governor thanked the national leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support. In their goodwill messages, other party chieftains also appreciated the APC national leader.
To many Lagosians, picking up the form is as good as the Governor being sworn in for a 2nd term as they said picking up the forms means for more years of infrastructure development, economic prosperity, youth employment opportunities and more landmark projects like the Ikeja bus terminal, Oshodi interchange, ten lane roads, 24-hour economy with adequate security.
