In a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tunji Bello, Ambode said the state remains committed to the ideals of the annulled 1993 Presidential election.

“June 12, 1993 is a day we must not forget in the annals of our democratic history. Our present democratic experience may still be far from the ideal, but we must all make concerted efforts to entrench fiscal federalism which is the only way to achieve true nationhood."
