Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State said he is leaving office a wiser and much happier person.
According to him, he is happy because he was able to touch humanity through the services he rendered to the people in four year.
Ambode, stated this at the State House, Abuja, moments after meeting with President Muhammadu buhari.
He expressed gratitude to God for giving him an opportunity to govern the state for the past four years.
The governor said though he became the governor as a technocrat, he is leaving as a better and wiser politician.
“Every politician learns every day. The fact remains that I came in as a technocrat so I used to call myself a techno-politician and I think I am wiser now, I’m now more of a politician than a technocrat,’’ he added.
“I have a few days in office, may be 16 days or so to leave office, but what is most important is that I was able to have that opportunity from God to be elected as governor of Lagos and also to touch humanity in a way that I deemed fit.
“We did our best and most of all our projects and the things we did in Lagos were more or less people friendly and I just think that a lot more people have enjoyed the benefits and the dividends of democracy than we actually met. It gives me joy that you are able to touch lives wherever you find yourself.
“You have to just make positive difference to people or Nigerians, that’s the whole essence of service. I’m grateful that I had that opportunity,’’ he said.
Ambode said he was in the State House to thank President Buhari for undertaking a State visit to Logos few weeks ago, where he inaugurated some developmental projects executed by the state government.
