He said: “One of the things that we did promise during the campaign is that we would continue with the infrastructural development of my predecessor and at the same time improve on it and that’s what we’ve started with areas where we feel that there are immediate palliatives that we can give, we have done that but more importantly, is for us to improve on the network in which Mr. Babatunde Fashola had actually laid down.”
Ambode said he used the first three months of his administration to set us a foundational framework and Lagosians would soon start seeing the result.
“I have no choice, I have to do it for all Lagosians, that’s what I am committed to do, I have said I am going to be selfless about service and that’s what I am going to do and you will see it. What I have done in the last three months is to set up the institutional framework and If you want to build a house, you have to lay the foundation, you will now see what I’ll be doing in the next three and half years, just watch and you would see it.”

Ambode also promised the people of Epe that infrastructural development would also increase in the region.
“For Epe, you can see, in terms of the rural local governments, Epe is the most rural and in terms of the divisions, Epe is the least of all the five divisions. So for them, the best thing we can do is to increase the infrastructural development here in Epe and also help them to develop in other areas.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) however does not believe that Governor Ambode should be given more time. The party criticised the governor for not proving his worth in the first three months of his administration.
