Tinubu Ejects LGA From Headquarters, Takes Over Prime Property by BlackPikiN(m): 1:25am On Nov 15, 2012 |
[size=15pt]SAN FRANCISCO, November 13, (THEWILL) – Controversial former Lagos State Governor and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has taken over a prime property that was once the headquarters of Ikoyi-Obalande Local Government Development Area and relocated the local government secretariat to Obalende, a district in the commercial city of Lagos. http://thewillnigeria.com/politics/17058.html This man, Tinubu go collect Lagos state land finish. |

Though THEWILL has not been able to get details of the transaction, several sources say the politician is recklessly acquiring properties in prime locations across the state with the assistance of current Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN). Tinubu’s acquisitions since he left office cuts across real estate, media and aviation. His company AlphaBeta Consulting collects all Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for Lagos State and some ACN controlled states. It gets to keep a sizeable chunk for itself. AlphaBeta is believed to rake in as much as N7 billion naira monthly as commission for its work. The politician is also believed to own FirstNation Airlines, The Nation Newspaper, stakes in Oriental Hotel Victoria Island, Renaissance Hotel Ikeja, Eko Hotel Lagos, and the yet to be completed InterContinental Hotel located along Kofo Abayomi Street, near the popular Mega Plaza in Victoria Island. Tinubu also owns TV Continental (TVC) and Radio Continental. The former Governor who was engulfed in a University certificate scandal during his tenure as Governor, also owns a huge shopping mall complex in Alausa, Ikeja, popularly called Shoprite by its mainland patrons. THEWILL gathered that the shopping complex was constructed on a large parcel of land believed to have been hijacked from the Lagos State Government. In a similar gestapo-style move, the governor also bullied Lagosians and acquired the Lekki-Epe highway, reconstructed and tolled the road under a highly controversial agreement. http://thewillnigeria.com/politics/17058.html |

I wonder what his networth/assets were b/4 he became governor compared with today; this is nothing but immoral, underhand, avaricious and primitive accumulation of wealth just for the heck of it.....and the Lagos state gov't is letting him get away with this daylight robbery. |

........and guess what, we dont care if he acquires the land. You should be crying foul if his land acquisitiin is in Umuahai, but its not! So whats your heartache. The man is acquiring land on his own soil. |

The man is acquiring land on his own soil. ^^^Can you explain further please; Lagos is home to ALL Nigerians who pay school fees for their kids, set up businesses and pay taxs there.....so why do you reckon it's only Yorubas that should be interested in and have a right to voice their opinions about how the states resources are in the pockets of one individual, and how the state gov't is being run by proxy in the name of godfatherism? Don't you know that if gov't tenders were opened up to a fairer competitive process, the state gov't could make more savings from contracts and sales, and more individuals will get opportunities that are presently being greedily coveted by one man?.....this in turn would lead to either lower taxes or larger state revenue? 1 Like |

Charity begins at home.....practice and effect transformative "concerns" in the eastern nugerian territory before you bring it acrosss the border into Yoruba nation. 3 Likes |

Really won't be surprised if the news is real, he is simply leaving up to his 'ideals'. It is the same way LASPOTECH was moved from Ikosi to their permanent site at Ikorodu only for Tinubu to convert the space to his personal fiefdom and establish a private radio and TV station (Continental Broadcasting Service)... This is the gospel truth of 'Progressiveness' as preached by Tinubu. 1 Like |

If the man is really as corrupt as some people want us to believe, then it's a shame if he's still walking as a free man.... What is ur PDP-led FG doing to bring this "THIEF" to book... Smear campaign isn't the way to go. If you've got proof that he's corrupt, then blame GEJ and Co. For not doing their jobs... EFCC, ICPC, CCB, SSS, NPF etc are all controlled by the PDP-led FG, yet they do nothing about ur "thief"... I think you f00ls should give up on the smear campaign, it isn't working. While the man may not ßξ a saint, he's definitely not as corrupt as you'D want us to believe... 1 Like |

GARRI (x7):So you are telling me that there is no govt in lagos state to bring him to justice? Are you saying that the lagos state govt should turn a blind eye to every economic criminal in the state,just because the EFCC has not yet gotten involved.?

Well as long as he is not acquiring these properties and collecting these taxes in Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi he is not tresspassing. Why is it that its Iboz that always cry more than the Yorubas that are suppose to? What is it with your fixation with Tinubu, Fashola and Yoruba land in general Do we go asking why Chime.. Orji..Chekwas..and the others governors are acquiring in your states or are you saying none is acquiring properties over there too? Wetin be your problem gangan sef?? |

It is a pity. If this is what the so called opposition can give us, then PDP remains the best option. Just because PDP won that LG, he is trying to frustrate the council. They are gradually making PDP more formidable. |

This is not news,we all know TINUBU is capable of doing,my problem is the shamelessness most of these politicians exhibit,they only see the specks in other people's eyes while they have a big log in their s it's so disheartening,ACN has corrupt members like TINUBU but they only see PDP as corrupt,corruption is corruption whoever commits it. |

They are gradually making PDP more formidable.that is just the reason! So if PDP wins maybe in 2 other LG,then Tinubu and Fashola will fustrate them by taking their lands not forgetting they are also in Lagos.Now that Tinubu has taken the land,is Fashola expecting PDP to build another LG secreteriat? It is still Fashola and ACN that will build another secreteriat.so who is loosing? What right does Tinubu have to eject a LGA from its headquarters that have been there for long? |

gilmaro: . Far from it....!! I won't support any illegality whatsoever. My grudge is when some people mischievously attempts to paint all the actions of either Tinubu or Fashola as wrong without verifying the story itself or reason for such action. They do this with either tribal or political lens most often. Let our critique of government actions be devoid of ethnic and political sentiments. |
