“I Am More Of A Politician Than A Technocrat Now”- Ambode

The Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode seems to have learned a lot from his failed attempt to pick the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for a second tenure.

The governor, who spoke to State House correspondents yesterday after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, said he used to see himself as a technocrat, but the time he spent in the office has changed his perception.

Ambode said: “You see, every politician learns every day. The fact remains that I came in as a technocrat. So, I use to call myself a techno-politician, but I think I am wiser now. I am more of a politician than a technocrat.”
