The former Lagos governor, in a terse statement shared on his verified social media platforms, thanked supporters for the “overwhelming endorsement” over his “modest contributions” to the growth of Lagos.
He said power was in the hands of the youths.
Ambode wrote: “After all we have been through, God has been faithful. Thank you for the overwhelming endorsement of our modest contributions to the growth of Lagos. It can only get better for Lagos, and indeed Nigeria. The youths are coming. The power is in their hands. Go and get your Permanent Voters Card (PVC) ready. Your future is NOW!”

Ambode’s statement comes amid encouragement from some groups in Lagos State urging him to re-contest for the office of Lagos State governor for another four years.
While Ambode has not accepted or declined the calls,he might find himself running against the political hierarchy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State.
However, he revalidated his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at Epe ward last year and was appointed as Deputy Chairman of the South-West subcommittee of the Contact and Strategy Committee of the APC.
