“From Epe, to Badagry to Alimosho, he is executing projects such as roads, hospitals and many more that have impacted on the lives of residents,” Olabode said.
He said the formation of the group was inspired by the achievements of Ambode and the need to support his re-election bid to bring more development.
“The “Consolidation’ in the middle of our name is deliberate. We strongly believe the governor will consolidate on his many achievements on another term,” the convener said.
Olabode urged residents to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to vote in 2019.
