LAGOS OKADA BAN: GROUP THROWS WEIGHT BEHIND SANWO-OLU



The ban on Okada from plying certain areas in Lagos State has received unexpected boost from the Federal Capital, Abuja.  This is because a group known as the Abuja Professionals Association (APA) has labelled the decision as timely to guard against safety of lives, property and particularly against criminality.  Addressing reporters, Chairman of the Association, Mr. Kenneth Okoh heaped praises on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for finding the courage to take the step.  “The decision may not be popular; but as Governor of Lagos State, he is duty bound to protect lives and property”, he stated.  Mr. Okoh said Governor Sanwo-Olu is discharging his duties as expected.  “People have to believe that the Governor did not just wake up to impose the ban”.  The Chairman disclosed that a long negotiation must have taken place before such as move.  “We have not met Sanwo-Olu face to face before; but from his action and utterances, he must be a good listener and a team player” he explained.  “We support his actions and encourage him to extend such bold decisions to other critical areas in the State”, said Mr. Okoh.  The Chairman further disclosed that with time, the Okada rider would find other profitable vocations.  He allayed the fears being entertained in some quarters that they are sure the government would put in place some palliatives.  “Governor Sanwo-Olu is a good listener; along with his advisers, they will come up with acceptable alternatives”, he said.  Since assumption of office, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has endeared himself into the hearts of Lagosians; he has led an open-door administration to date and shown himself to be a party/team player.

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.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

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. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets?
