appointed as the deputy chairman of the south-west subcommittee of the contact
and strategy committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ambode, who announced the appointment via his Twitter handle
on Tuesday, said his appointment is to help build on the gains of the ruling
APC in the south-west region.
“I was recently appointed as Deputy Chairman of the
Southwest subcommittee of the Contact & Strategy Committee of our great
party (APC), to help deepen & consolidate gains of the party in the region,
prepare it as a strong & viable institution for the present &
foreseeable future,” he tweeted.

In March, the ruling party set up the contact/strategy
committee made up of 61 members.
John Akpanudoehede, national secretary of the
caretaker/extraordinary convention planning committee (CECPC), had said the
committee was constituted as part of efforts to rebuild and reposition the
party.
Gbenga Daniel, former governor of Ogun state; Dimeji
Bankole, former speaker of the house of representatives; Yakubu Dogara, former
speaker of the house of representatives; Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister of
humanitarian affairs, and Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, are also members of
the committee.
While Daniel and Bankole recently defected to the APC,
Ambode renewed his membership of the ruling party in February.
Ambode was denied the APC’s ticket for reelection, and became the first governor of Lagos to serve only one term in office since the return of democracy in 1999.
