On Saturday, 27th December 2014, thousands of people trooped out to support governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos State.

In a show of solidarity, the youths in Lagos under the aegis “Ambode Youth Initiative” (AYI), gathered for the 10,000-Man walk in support of the candidacy of Akinwunmi Ambode, the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos.

The solidarity walk was convened by the AYI in conjunction with the volunteer arm of Mr. Ambode’s Campaign organization, Team A+, and was also intended to further sensitize the Lagos populace on the excellent personality of the governorship candidate.

The youths were joined in the walk by the candidate himself, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, his running mate, Dr. (Mrs) Oluranti Adebule, APC party stalwarts, Nollywood celebrities, Foremost entertainers, and other well-meaning Lagosians.

A visibly happy Ambode thanked the youths for the overwhelming turnout and appreciated the strength of all that had come out to participate in the walk. After he had danced to the cheerful tunes made by the mammoth crowd, Akinwunmi Ambode gave a speech that reassured them of excellent governance if elected as the next governor of the state.

He said, “We are starting our campaign with the youths, and we do this in order to be true to our intention of creating a new platform that will take our youths to the next level. We are giving governance back to the youths, and I promise you a governance that will also bridge between the elderly and the youths”

Speaking further, Mr. Ambode said, “We have two major concerns for Lagos, that is, the security and a stable economy for Lagos. This is in-view of creating more jobs for our youths in a secure environment”.

The State’s APC party Chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale, also used the moment to canvass support for the man he described as the “best man for the job”. Desmond Elliot, a Nollywood actor and also a Lagos State House of Assembly candidate, spoke on behalf of the celebrities and entertainers present at the walk, assuring of total support for Ambode’s candidature both during the campaign and in the election.

Mr. Taiwo Aiyedun, a leader in the AYI, urged all the youths and also all well-meaning Lagosians to support and elect Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode as the next governor of the state to ensure continuity of excellence and better engagement of the youths, after which he gave a vote of thanks.

The walk kicked off at the Maryland Comprehensive College, Maryland around 9:00a.m, and was rounded off at the Gani Fawehinmi Park, in Ojota
