Second Republic Senator Olorunnimbe Farukanmi has hailed Lagos State Governor Akinwumi Ambode for his role in re-invigorating the economic re-integration of the South-West geo political zone.
According to him, the decision by the governor to make Lagos a vibrant member of the Oodua Group of companies is significant. He also commended the governor for his pledge to invest billions of naira to acquire vast acres of land in Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun for farming in order to ensure food security in Yoruba land. This laudable move will no doubt through industrialization create jobs and spread prosperity in the west as it was when the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo (of blessed memory) pioneered the agricultural revolution of the then Western Region.”
Ambode is a pride not only to Lagos, but to Yoruba land, with what he has achieved in two years. With his role in the economic integration, the Yoruba land is on its way to full economic independence” he said.
Besides, he praised Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for his foresight in discovering Ambode, who has turned out to be a revelation in the last two years.
He also commended the vision of Ambode on the Cleaner Lagos Initiative in which when fully implemented will turn waste to wealth.
