The billionaire also endorsed the second term bid of the governor, adding that Ambode would make the state the third largest economy in Africa.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Otedola said in the last three years as a Lagosian, he had watched and followed transformation projects across the state, pointing out that Ambode was building on the foundations laid by his predecessors.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is building roads and bridges, schools and hospitals, water treatment plants, sewage and storm water drainages, solid waste management plants and mass transport infrastructure.<\/p>\n
