AMBODE: RIGHTS GROUP THREATEN TO SUE DAILY INDEPENDENT FOR LIBEL


Angered by the sensational headlines “Why Lagos Assembly, APC Want Ambode Jailed “which appeared last Sunday in the Daily Independent newspapers, leaders of the Rights Group, Disciples for Good Democracy (DFGD) has threatened to drag the Daily Independent newspapers to court for sedition and Libel. The group issued a statement in Abuja denouncing what they term as “threat to Ambode’s life” vowing to challenge the matter in court. The group regretted the crude journalism and the desperate attempt by the newspaper to destroy the well-earned reputation of Mr. Ambode. “This is not the APC neither the Lagos Assembly affair; the desperation behind this “Ambode must be rubbished” campaign is making it look like a personal affair”, the statement reads.  “This is no longer politics; it is now an open warfare and soon if there is no external intervention, only God knows what will happen”, the statement reads further. The group wondered how a newspaper would agree to publish such sensational item without watering the intended content. “This is not the best way to sell a newspaper, we have said it time and again that Nigerians need to be well informed and educated; we still have good leaders in this country who should intervene in this matter”, the statement added. However, according to reliable sources, since the commissioning of the magnificent projects on the twilight of the Ambode Administration, desperate attempts have been made to rubbish the achievements. Ambode has been called all sorts off names showing clear vendetta. But this is democracy and all hands should be on deck to protect it. The statement called on other newspapers to avoid sensationalism and grow beyond Ambode matter. The statement believes that there is more to gain protecting Ambode and our hard earned democracy than resorting to mudslinging.”Ambode is a bonafide member of the APC and also a worthy Nigerian; we will not tolerate any further threat to his life because that’s where the fingers are pointing; we will not allow that”, explains the statement.

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.

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.
