The Lagos State governor-elect, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday, released his official portrait, saying that he would want to be addressed simply as Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the Governor of Lagos State, from May 29.

A statement by his media team said the governor-elect would not want the appellation of Executive or any other prefix to be added to his name. “He, hereby, puts it on record that from May 29, 2015, he wishes to be addressed as Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the Governor of Lagos State,” the statement said.

The portrait that was produced by famous photographer, TY Bello, shows the governor-elect in a black suit with a white shirt and blue tie. The portrait can also be found on Mr. Ambode’s personal website www.akinwunmiambode.com.
