LEAVE AMBODE ALONE GROUP TELLS LAGOS APC CHAIRMAN



The Chairman of the Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress, Alhaji Tunde Balogun has been told to leave the former Lagos State governor Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode alone and face more pressing issues.

Speaking in Abuja, two Rights Group, the South-East Professional Association and the Northern Youth Forum reacted angrily to the remarks credited to the Party Chairman on why Ambode was denied second Term ticket.

Alhaji Sulaimon Dauda, President of the Northern Youth Forum charged Alhaji Balogun to be of good conduct and learn to live in peace.  The President told the APC Chairman that they were not the ones that denied Ambode the ticket, instead, Ambode, being a man of peace, held that it was needless contesting what was not necessary.  “Ambode could have gotten the ticket no matter the resistance” he stated.  “He was in charge; he had all the apparatus; and could have muscled his way successfully” he said. The President expressed happiness that in Ambode, they had a visionary who placed the interest of Lagosians above his own and as such elected not to join issues with them.

On his path, Mr. Kenneth Okoh, Secretary-General of the South-East Forum told Alhaji Balogun to forget about those charlatans working under Ambode and pretended to ditch him at the last minute.  “They could have all been sacked and replaced; none was indispensable; they merely acted to the gallery”, said Mr Okoh. He reminded the so-called APC boss further:  “This is democracy, it is not war; Ambode place more value on the sanctity of life and property.  He is also a loyal and committed Party man”, he stressed.  “So don’t expect him to fight for mundane things like others do”, he added. “So he should stop saying they rejected him; to the contrary, Ambode relaxed because he wanted peace, period”, he concluded.

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.

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...
