The demonstrations by a
rebellious group of people in front of the Lagos State House of the Assembly
has not gone down well with a section of youths in Lagos metropolis. The youths
led by one Charles Adonijah voiced their opinion this afternoon when they gathered
in front of the Rhythm FM in Yaba, Lagos, chanting “enough is enough”, “Ambode
must be left alone”! When cornered, the leader of the youths, Mr. Charles
Adonijah castigated the leaders of the All Progressive Congress Party (APC) for
standing by and watching as if Ambode did not serve all their interest. ”Ambode
was not governor to himself; he was governor to everyone; they supported him;
why are they feigning ignorance about his current ordeal?’ they queried. Mr.
Charles disclosed that they know what is happening to Ambode now are
orchestrated by a single individual and whatever happens everyone must be
accountable. He said” the Northerners try to protect their own; but we, the Yoruba’s
go ahead to expose our own adding what has Ambode done to be so vilified?”
Continuing, Mr. Charles disclosed that
people like Bala Muhammad was regarded as a non-performer, but today, he
is governor of Bauchi State; how much more our own Ambode that delivered the
Oshodi Bus Terminal, the Multi-Faceted International Airport link way—ten lane
traffic for that matter, not to mention the light up Lagos project that everyone
is enjoying today. “Those people who demonstrated today at the Lagos State
House of Assembly must hold their heads in shame; they are a disgrace to the
Yoruba race and must be held accountable”, Mr. Charles stated. “The era of
taking money from people and destroying innocent Yoruba leaders is gone; we
must guard against it and curse those behind it”, he concludes. His deputy
Prince Ebri Ukagu chided the All Progressive Congress Party (APC Lagos Chapter
for keeping mum when they see the apparent injustice meted out to Ambode.
Prince Ukagu said tomorrow shall vindicate Ambode when the next generations of
Nigerians would see and utilize the rejuvenated Oshodi axis. “Ambode is our hero,
and he will remain so”, he stressed.
A recent court order widely regarded as an assault on customs and decency, seeking the exhumation of the corpse of a prominent Igbo chief, is largely seen as a misuse of judicial authority, and fear the backlash may lead to disruption of communal peace. By Clement Ebaku and Lucy Okulougbo reporting from Owerri. Tension has escalated surrounding the Amuchienwa family following a contentious order issued on 5 December 2025 by Justice I.O. Agugua, directing the exhumation of the remains of the late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa, who was laid to rest on 17 October 2025. The directive, made nearly two months after the burial, has sparked widespread outrage, with many describing it as a shocking affront to the dignity of the deceased. Imolites are questioning the circumstances under which the ruling emerged, with reactions trailing a media release by Ms. Chinyere Igwegbe (formerly Amuchienwa), the late Chief’s former wife, whose marriage ended more than 32 years ago.
