“This is the time for unity, hard work and building a better future for ourselves and generations unborn.
“Let us bear in mind that no one is a loser in this journey; we all won and are progressing together,” he said.
The chairman said that his new position would not be for prestige but a call to serve, lead with integrity and work tirelessly for the collective progress of the community.
Ajose thanked President Bola Tinubu for good leadership and vision, saying that he contributed much to shaping the democratic progress of Nigeria and Lagos State.
He commended Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his commitment to grassroots development and inclusive governance across Lagos State.
