The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)
has commended Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos state, for embarking on
“massive infrastructural drive”.
Speaking while presenting a
letter of appreciation to the governor during a Ramadan Tafsir/Iftar and
special prayer organised by the state government, Ishaq Akintola, director of
MURIC, described Ambode as a top performer whose achievements are indelible.
Akintola said aside the massive
infrastructural drive, the governor also prioritized welfare of Muslims and
worked hard to enhance peaceful co-existence and harmonious relationship among
religious groups in the state.
He noted that the state had never
enjoyed governance as good as Ambode’s administration, adding that his name was
already written in gold in the history of the state and can never be altered by
anybody.
“Quran Chapter 14 verse 7 says if
you show appreciation, we would give you even much more. This is what we have
come to do to you today sir, ” Akintola was quoted to have said.
“We have never had it so good in
Lagos, we want to appreciate you; you are a performer and numero uno. We have
seen action in Lagos state.
“Muslims of Lagos state
appreciate you sir and you will never ask where are those Muslims because we
are here. We love you, we appreciate you, we value you.
“You are a jewel of inestimable
value. Is it the infrastructure that you have developed in Lagos state? Is it
the gentlemanly attitude that we all have seen in you?
“Other states are burning as we
speak but Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, the Executive Governor of Lagos state, took the
political landscape with astounding equanimity. When there should have been
storm, you calm everything down.
“Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, your name
is already written in letters of gold in the annals of Lagos history; it is
indelible and nobody can ever erase it again.”
He also commended Ambode prompt
payment of workers salary and for setting up the Nigeria Inter-Religious
Council (NIREC) in the state.
“Salaries are owed for eight
months, nine months, eleven months in several states of the federation in spite
of all the financial facilities they got from the federal government; Lagos has
not owed one month not even one week.
“Salaries are paid, workers are
happy, there is industrial peace in Governor Ambode’s time. We appreciate the
Governor and this will go down well in history.
“Of particular note is Muslims
and Christians sitting together through the committee (NIREC) that the governor
set up which has greatly enhanced peaceful co-existence.”
The church of Nigeria had also
tipped Ambode for a federal appointment after presenting him an award for
‘monumental achievements’ in the state.
