AMBODE: UNEASE AT THE LAGOS APC SECRETARIAT

Mum is the word at the Lagos APC secretariat in Acme road, Ogba, Ikeja where our reporters had gone to gauge the opinion of party members over the recent tango between Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the EFCC. Our reporter’s attempt to speak to the party’s secretary proved abortive as he evaded all the questions put to him; but one of the officials who preferred to remain anonymous gave an insight as to what might have been the likely reason behind Ambode’s ordeal with the EFCC. ‘Look our former Governor was a complete gentleman and a technocrat who knew his job; we are not happy at  what is happening to him”, he began. ‘We, here, in APC, are supposed to support him because he is our own; but because the powers that be fell out with him, it is like he must be crucified”, he told our reporters. The official went on: “You remember that Ambode had begged the powers that be before the primaries; also remember that he even enlisted bigwigs all over the country including Mr President to beg them, all to no avail”. The official then wondered: “is it now they want him to go and beg again and be humiliated further?” He continued: “ Yes, they made him Governor, but Ambode was loyal and committed; don’t forget he served for many years as Accountant General;  so you can see that he is a member of the Establishment who ought to have progressed to be  a minister like others before him, what more do they want from him?, he queried. While he was yet speaking another interested official who also preferred anonymity suggested that Ambode’s sins may not be far from his refusal to play ball on some rumoured underground deals hence he was described as “not a party man”, whatever that means. ‘Don’t forget they even stopped him from implementing the State Budget until he left”. “They prevented a serving Governor from implementing the State Budget, does that not amount to an over kill? Our reporter’s gathered that the officials are angry that “our leaders should be careful what they do with Ambode for his hands are clean”.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...
