NORTHERN YOUTHS CAUTION YORUBAS’AGAINST AMBODE



The persistent attempt by a shadowy group of figures within the ranks of the Yoruba kingdom to disparage Ambode has drawn the ire of members of Northern Youths Forum of Nigeria.

Arising from a hastily conducted Press briefing at the Samaru Hall, Kaduna, the group’s National Secretary, Mallam Jamil Sarham called on the Yoruba’s to close ranks and protect their own.  Mallam Jamil expressed disappointment that the former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has not been allowed to live in peace despite all his good works in Lagos.  The National Secretary insisted that the former Governor has contributed his own quota to the development of Lagos State and has since moved on asking “what’s the matter with laying the foundation stone of a greater Lagos?

The Group noted that Ambode is not the enemy of the House of Assembly; neither is he the enemy of the government.  They observed that despite the stoic silence maintained by Ambode since leaving office honorably, somebody, somewhere is beating the drums of hatred and that fellow will soon be exposed and disgraced.  “We call on the Lagos State house of Assembly to dismiss the claims by the recent demonstrators and ignore the instigation to probe Ambode”, Mallam Jamil stated.  “We state it here unequivocally that Ambode has not committed any crime and those after him will fall in the Red Sea like Pharaoh did”, Jamil declared.  The Ambode supporters group are however itching for a fight to show that the former governor is not a pushover. The group are weighing the options available although they see this recent propaganda as cheap blackmail and the actions of a frustrated politician.

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams. He said that is the reason why worshippers must not toy with their destiny background-and where they come from.

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
