“He recorded the same achievements as permanent secretary in the ministry of finance and as the state’s accountant-general.“He also made positive and significant impacts in some sectors during his tenure as Lagos state governor, working for the continuous growth and development of our state.”In 2018, Ambode spoke against the governorship ambition of Sanwo-Olu ahead of the primary election of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos.
Ambode lost the primary election after reportedly falling out with godfather of Lagos politics and current Nigeria President Bola Tinubu.
