AMBODE SAD OVER AJIMOBI'S LOSS

Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, FCA, immediate past governor of Lagos State has expressed sadness over the loss of the former governor of Oyo State to the cold hands of death at the early hours of today. Ajimobi passed aged 70 after battling Covid-19 complications at a private hospital in Lagos.

Visibly touched, Ambode described Ajimobi as an icon who meant more than a brother and a colleague to him. “This is a great loss to me; I can easily recall so many fond memories we shared together as governors of our respective States and I saw him as an elder brother always”. Speaking further, Ambode described the late Ajimobi as very witty, always willing to provide his honest and candid opinion on issues. “His political sagacity was one I admired from afar and I am glad to have shared many memorable moments with him”, he disclosed.

Reflecting back, Ambode further revealed that Ajimobi’s eight years as governor was remarkable and that his giant strides across the length and breadth of Oyo State will never be forgotten in a hurry. “ Ajimobi was very passionate about his State, the Yoruba Agenda and the Nigerian Project; he was  a progressive party man to the core and Oyo citizens will testify to the fact that he left the State better than he met it”.

Ambode  also condoled  with the family of the late Oyo governor, urging his widow, Florence to take solace in the fact that her husband lived a fulfilled life and left indelible mark  on his people . He noted that as much as he was a politician, he was a devoted family man. " I pray that God Almighty grants him eternal rest and his entire family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss", he stated.

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?
