Read the lovely Message jimi Agbaje sent to His fans on Facebook

I know that a lot has been said following the declaration by
INEC on the governorship election for our great state Lagos
State. As you may already have heard, I have since called
Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to congratulate him and wish him


well.
It would be unfair, however, not to stop by here to thank all
of YOU who came on this platform, invested your time and
energy to support our cause.
To my fellow Lagosians, especially those who stood by our
campaign every step of the way, I want to thank you. The
passion that you have brought into this democratic process
and your participation have not been in vain. On the
contrary, because you have made your voices heard in this
election, in the final analysis, win or lose, our dear state will
be the better for it.
To my team - my friends, my supporters, donors and
volunteers, your extraordinary work over the last 4-months
gave us more than a fighting chance. Your intellect, passion
and motivation kept the engines running. I sincerely thank
you, for all the long hours, sleepless nights and immense
sacrifice that you have all made towards this cause. Not
minding the outcome of the elections, I can guarantee that
your contribution to this campaign has helped expand the
wider narrative of democracy and good governance in
Lagos. You can hold your heads high knowing that you have
all done a great job as citizens of this great state and
country.
To my family and my wife, Biola, I couldn't have done this
without you. Your prayers, perseverance and words of
wisdom were ever so priceless during this campaign. Thank
you for tolerating my crazy schedules and intense routine.
I believe in Lagos. I believe in the people of Lagos. Elections
come and go - sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.
But through it all, democracy teaches us that we can agree
to disagree without necessary compromising our stand, or
values or the very principles that make us unique. For
Lagos, we must keep on pushing for a government that
does not only work for a few elite but for the greater good
of our people. We have an obligation to ensure that Lagos
continues to be inclusive and that our development must
have a human face. This is what I committed to when I
decided to run and this is worth fighting for.
Although this election is over, our work as citizens must
continue. Each and every one of us has a duty to ensure
that our government continues to be transparent and
accountable. Only then do we really reap the rewards of
our democracy.
As always feel free to drop a message or two here and I'll
try to keep up my engagement as time permits. It is my
greatest honor to have competed in this race and
interacted with so many of you in the course of this
campaign. May God almighty continue to bless the people
of Lagos. And may God bless the Federal Republic of
Nigeria. Thank you.
We all love you too mr jimi.
