Youths Extoll Ambode’s Virtue in Lagos and Abuja Sues for Peace.

Two vibrant organisations, the League of Patriotic Youths, Lagos and Abuja Chapters have extolled the virtues of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, calling him a pacesetter in modern act of governance. The youths spoke on Tuesday, September 3, at their yearly workshop with the theme: “Setting Appropriate Structures for Delivery of Good Governance in Nigeria”. Speaking in Abuja, the youths led by their astute President, Comrade Vincent Egbonwonu said the former governor did so well in his 4 years in office providing dividends of democracy for Lagosians and ended up praying for more of leaders like him in government. The Comrade referred to the former governor as a man of integrity, who also displayed strong character traits and honesty. “He worked round the clock providing good roads, infrastructure, and social amenities for the people of Lagos State”. The comrade who called on the APC party leaders never to shelve their support for the former Governor, noted that the one-day workshop was a yearly affair and was part of their own way of contributing to making Nigeria great. Majority of the speakers at the workshop suggested that President Buhari should put in place a system of reward for performing governors and efficient ministers which would ultimately allow them to do better elsewhere. “Those governors who have performed should be encouraged; there are better ways for you to appreciate them”, he stressed. The workshop also suggested that Governors should strive to build on the legacies of their predecessors to stimulate rapid growth in the society.
In Lagos, Comrade Charles Afe-Ikhage blasted the careless attitude of handling security votes; he also condemned the frivolous aspect of using State funds for birthday parties, adverts, wonder achievements, frequent overseas travels. But the Comrade, in a sombre tone, while recalling the contributions of former governor Ambode to what Lagos is today, agreed that all parties involved in the Ambode’s saga to bury the hatchet and move on pointing out that sleeping dogs should be allowed to lie. “I was in Oshodi the other day and marvelled at the Bus Terminal Ambode constructed; I also used the 10 lane Murtala Muhammed airport link way Ambode also constructed and felt proud living in Lagos” the comrade disclosed. Speaking further, he admitted that they were surprised that the same Ambode was now the subject of a committee probe by the Lagos State House of Assembly. “I sincerely believe that something went wrong somewhere; but whatever it is should be addressed amicably”, he pleaded. Comrade Charles said the Assembly people should display maturity and work for the common good of Lagosians and the party adding that next year’s workshop would focus on “delineation of roles, functions and responsibilities to the people for democratic advancement

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...
