Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has assured residents of his administration commitment to building up the state.
In his Easter message in Lagos on Saturday, the out going governor said he would continue to work for the greater good of the state until his exit from office.
He urged Lagosians in particular and Nigerians in general to work together to build their desired country noting that since the elections were over, people should no longer think and act along partisan lines.
Ambode also called on Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of tolerance, peaceful co-existence and sacrifice for one another in line with the spirit of Easter.

He said the celebration of the resurrection of Christ, which the season represents, should be a constant reminder for everyone to extend the virtues of selflessness, love, sacrifice and tolerance.
He said further: “We must therefore see this period as a time that presents us the viable opportunity to think about how we can help to steer our nation back on the road to peace, stability and prosperity by working in the spirit of togetherness, because no nation can make any meaningful progress in an atmosphere riddled with pockets of violence and killings.
“The elections have come and gone, we must not allow our political leanings determine our actions.
“The Nigeria we desire will only be a reality if all hands are on deck toward achieving a peaceful, united, strong, progressive and prosperous country.
“This is the time for us to avoid all divisive, parochial, ethnic and religious sentiments and rivalries, and begin to live more harmoniously with one another, as Jesus Christ enjoined us to.”
