He made this promise on Monday during his meeting with members of the National Union of Pensioners (Lagos state chapter) and Senior citizens at the LTV8 Blue-roof Hall in Ikeja, Lagos Daily Independent reports.

The former Accountant-General of the State, said the Pensioners and the aged are well regarded in the state.
“You are well regarded by the government of the APC and you will continue to be. I am here to assure you that I will always stand by you and ensure that your yearnings as senior citizens are sufficiently addressed”, Ambode stated, while adding that his administration will build another Pensioners’ Villa on the Lagos Mainland, in addition to the one that already exists in Ajah.
He said his promise is not merely political, but that it is informed by his firsthand experience as a pensioner and also as the son of a pensioner. He added that he will continually employ his experience to create more comfort and maximum welfare for the ones he described as “highly esteemed”.
“You all have served our state meritoriously; you have been part of the excellence that Lagos stands for. You surely deserve your maximum benefits and total welfare, and our government, when elected, will continue to ensure this happens”.
Ambode’s has faced critism over his campaign strategies as he has been accused by a top PDP chief accused his party (APC) of defacing Lagos with posters of Ambode, Buhari and Osinbajo.
