Sanwo-Olu, who spoke on Tuesday while receiving Akpabio and other members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the state at the Lagos House, Marina, said the newly elected lawmakers should see their victory as a call to service and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the people.

Akpabio, who led the delegation, thanked the governor for his support and promised that the newly elected lawmakers would not disappoint the people.
He said the APC members in the National Assembly would work with the executive arm of government to ensure that the party’s manifesto is implemented.
“We want to thank you for your support and for the good work you are doing in Lagos State. We promise that we will not disappoint the people. We will work with the executive arm of government to ensure that the party’s manifesto is implemented,” Akpabio said.
