A
frontline social services group, named Relevancy Global Services Limited has
announced various awards to some prominent Nigerians for their peaceful conduct
in restoring sanity and good governance to Nigeria. Among those named are
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, Chief
Odigie Oyegun, former All Progressive Congress (APC) National Chairman,
Secretary to the Government Boss Mustapha, Senator Francis Alimikhena, Hon.
Johnson of the House of Representatives and Former governor of Lagos State
Akinwunmi Ambode. The group specializing
in recognizing hardworking Nigerians who have excelled in their own right said
the awards were in special recognition of the huge role the recipients played
especially in the drive towards the successful conclusion of the last general
elections. Chief Odigie Oyegun was nominated for the award by reason of his
expert handling of the leadership transition in APC which brought in the
combative Adams Oshiomole. Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode was nominated for his rare
display of quietude even in the face of extreme provocation by opposing groups.
“Ambode could have formed a parallel APC during the primaries like his mates do,
but he didn’t although he had the powers; he could have also closed down the
Assembly like it was done in Port Harcourt by Amaechi during his time, but he didn’t;
He had various options to checkmate his opponents but he considered Lagos first
and opted to maintain peace’, stated the group’s president, Prince Ebri Ukagu.
The award will soon be communicated to the recipient shortly and the date of
decoration announced nationwide. Each of the awardees are expected to attend
the ceremony personally or send their representative as they would be allocated
with a golden table each attracting a modest contribution of One million naira.
