Since the open endorsement of Mr Akinwumi Ambode, the erstwhile
Accountant General/Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Lagos State
by none other than the much-respected Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu1 for the
gubernatorial seat of Lagos state, the political landscape has never
been the same again.
Oba Akiolu had used the auspicious occasion of the launch of Ambode’s
biography, The Art of Selfless Service on May 15, 2014 at the jam-packed
hall of the Civic Centre to drum home his support for the man of the
moment. Ambode is widely acknowledged as an accomplished accountant,
whose meritorious service to the state that spanned 27 years has become a
source of pride to his friends and envy to his political foes.
