Herein lies our strength today I ask you that we join hands as we move Lagos and Nigeria to a higher level on the wind of change”, the Governor said in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna.
Stressing that his victory at the April 11 elections was the handiwork of God and the support of the people, Governor Ambode said he is committed to using the mandate to change the lives of people in Lagos.
“This would not have been possible but for the love, mercy, and divine favour of our God. I thank you for all your support particularly towards peaceful elections that was held across the nation. I am eternally grateful to God for what he has done and still does in my life. It is now my responsibility to use this position to show forth his goodness by touching as many lives as possible through selfless purpose driven service”.
While thanking the RCCG Apapa Family for its intervention and support to about 500 schools in Lagos, he said the projects would in no small way boost the confidence of the state’s educational system.
The Governor also assured that the state government will ensure that such projects imitated by the church in the schools will be sustained going forward.
“I must commend your bold initiatives and numerous successes over the years. The church has made significant progress, in improving the society. Your various intervention projects which cut across every strata of human and social development and is highly commendable. For instance your school intervention project to equip 500 primary school libraries across the 57 LGs is a case in point. This would no doubt breathe hope and confidence in our educational system.
“Going forward, I want to assure you of sustained partnership and support from the government of Lagos. Interestingly your vision is propelled by determined focused and desire for transformative change in the society”.
He commended the RCCG Apapa Family, of which he is a part of, for the Excel Programme which has grown in leaps in bounds since the first edition, saying the programme had foretold of the imminent change in the country.
“Your choice of theme in the last three editions is indicative of your prophetic affirmation of a positive change in the polity. Since 2008 you have consistently brightened our world with awesome messages of hope and aspiration. The theme of this year “Riding on the wings of Change” aptly sums up our expectation and collective desire as individuals and a nation.
“You exemplify change in its totality. No meaningful is achieved without a purpose driven change. You have played an active part of the change sweeping through our country today. More than ever before my prime focus and concern would be to serve diligently our teeming masses in every way possible”.
In his address, Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, spoke about faithfulness in all human endeavours, stating that the Nigerian Society presently lacks faithful men and women.
The Vice President who backed up his address with anecdotes on how diligence and faithfulness can lift a man said the nation needs faithful man and women who can be trusted to do the right things and can also be honest and diligent.
“There are many people who are bright and intelligent but what we lack are faithful men and women. Men and women who can be trusted to do the right things, who can be honest, diligent and who can do what needs to be done”.
“If you are a security man, if you are a driver, you need faithfulness in the little things that you are doing. It is that faithfulness and loyalty to what it is that you are doing that will set you out. That is the change that our nation needs and we as children would not only be harbingers of hat change but would be that change”, he also said.
In his sermon, General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye urged political office holders to use their position to change the story of Nigeria, just as he assured that Nigeria will continue to march forward with the present crop of leaders.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has charged
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos
State to use their new offices to change the bad story about Nigeria.
He spoke just as Osinbajo and Ambode
assured Nigerians that God would make peace to reign in the country with
the advent of the new administration.
The trio spoke at the Seventh Edition
of the Excel Programme of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG,
organised by Apapa Family of the church at the Tafawa Balewa Square,
TBS, Lagos, with the theme; “Riding on the Wings of Change.”
In his sermon, Pastor Adeboye urged
political office holders to use their position to change the story of
Nigeria, just as he assured that Nigeria will continue to march forward
with the present crop of leaders.
According to him, “Change has two
wings, power and glory and the two will dwell in you if you are
connected to Christ. Colossians 1:27 says Jesus is the King of Glory.”
Osinbajo noted that the dearth of
faithful, diligent men and women was another challenge confronting the
country inspite of the country’s huge population.
The vice president, who backed up his
address with various Bible passages on how diligence and faithfulness
can lift a man, said the nation needs faithful men and women who can be
trusted to do the right things and can also be honest and diligent.
“There are many people who are bright
and intelligent but what we lack are faithful men and women. Men and
women who can be trusted to do the right things, who can be honest,
diligent and who can do what needs to be done”.
Osinbajo said that when citizens of the
country change their attitude and become faithful, the country would
achieve great things.
Earlier, Ambode who also touched on the
need to be diligent, reaffirmed his determination and commitment to
serve the people diligently irrespective of his or her status, sex,
religion or tribe in the course of governing the state.
Osinbajo and Ambode were earlier
presented with awards of “Apostle of Change.” While the vice president
was awarded in recognition of his outstanding transformational
leadership to the nation, Ambode was awarded in recognition of his
dedication to public service and continuous service to Lagos State.
Dignitaries present at the event
included the wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, wife of
the Lagos State Governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, and clergymen from
different religious denominations.

spectacular moments from last nights LFMA concert, including ‘the great
unveiling.’ Performances at last night’s outdoor concert had the
audience wondering how to possibly describe such an extravaganza to
anyone that missed it. Indeed, there was no better place to be than at
the LFMA 2015. An amazing ministration by a young girl reciting Isaiah
60 was one of many performances that sent the audience into a series of
emotional responses from laughter all the way to tears, with hands
lifted high.
