Where is the proof that APC wanted money from Lagos State? You can just be making allegations without evidence to back it.

How are we sure this is true.

Ambode should resist any attempt to use public fund to fund their erection.

However, is that why Ambode has been so useless to the state, viz:

Virtually all Lagos roads are filled with potholes. Ambode refuses to release fund to Public Works for repairs
Abandoned road projects everywhere
Traffic jam everywhere
Most traffic lights are non functional since over a year ago
No new number plates in Lagos state since over a month to register new vehicles. They said Ambode refuses to release money to print
Non authorised motorbikes (okada) on highways
Trucks packed on major roads especially Ikorodun road and those leading to Apapa. So many times the governor promised to build packs for them


I don't understand why these politicians are so greedy. You were nobody when the so called god father presented you as candidate against all odds. The same power that be said they don't want you any longer and instead of you to leave a great legacy by good governance you abandoned all basics of good governance to punish citizens while you still hold forth.

He could have used this remaining part to convince Lagosians that he is great leader. I hope he will also be humble enough to reinstate the Alausa church pastor he sacked the other day to show stupid love for his wife.






Thrash, very meaningless and bias post. With people like you, this country won't move forward.

If that allegation is fake, then the lawmakers should tell us the real reason they want to impeach the Governor.

Of course I do. I had ignored all the letters they had sent to the company until they put the X stickers everywhere. Since I had no experience in all that, I had to send the policeman attached to us to help negotiate with them. The original question I made a comment on was on how Lagos state could have 100b in their coffers.
As per the news being fake or not, why do they want to impeach him when his tenor is rounding up? Why now? Exactly why do they want him out of the way? If Ambode should tell come out and make an announcement, he'll just be called a sour loser.

From your reply, it is obvious you don't have proof. I am not in support of Ambode being impeached but there are other reasons why they may want to impeach him aside from the N100B story. Perhaps, they may be demanding some amout of money from the executive, but to say it is N100b is pure exergeration.

There is the issue delayed budget presentation, and it could be that he wants them to pay for the humiliation he suffered at their hands, and for denying him the ticket for second term.

Same way they financed his election in 2015. Rambo is just an ingrate to his party. He might live to regret this later.
ikorodureporta:

A coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs) Thursday alleged that the Lagos State House of Assembly moved to remove the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, because the governor refused to release the sum of N100 billion the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership in the state demanded for electioneering.

Also lending his voice against the governor’s plan, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, urged the lawmakers not to plunge the state into chaos with the plan to remove Ambode.


The Convener of the coalition, Mr. Mark Adebayo, made the allegation at a world press conference held at the Airport Hotel in Ikeja, noting that with the removal, it was obvious that the assembly was becoming a political abattoir for the murder of democracy in Nigeria.

Coming together under the aegis of Lagos Liberation Movement (LLM), the CSOs that formed the coalition are the Campaign for Democracy (CD), United Action for Democracy (UAD), Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC)(Reformed) and Lagos People’s Assembly (LPA) with a mandate to stop the assembly from witch-hunting Ambode.

Speaking at the conference yesterday, the convener alleged that the assembly threatened to remove Ambode because he refused “to release the sum of N100 billion tax payer’s money to the party to fund political campaigns. “It has been alleged that Ambode’s refusal to hand over the state’s treasury key to the Lagos slave master-in-chief is the current cause of his travails. His non-compliance with the directive to make available N100 billion by an insatiable political godfather provoked the current backlash against the governor.

“We have already put together a comprehensive petition to the anti-graft agencies and multilateral organisations on the reckless and irresponsible waste of the state’s resources by the legislative arm of government in the state.”

He noted that the coalition was interested in knowing how the Speaker of the Lagos State Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, “has been administering N800 million “running costs” allocated to the assembly monthly.


But speaking with THISDAY on phone yesterday, the Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, debunked the allegation that the lawmakers and party leaders demanded N100 billion, noting that it was fake news, which according to him, should not be taken seriously for any reason.

Igbokwe said the allegation “is propaganda from the opposition camp. It is not true that the party leaders demanded such money for the purpose of funding our campaign. It is fake news, which no person should believe.”

He, therefore, said the allegation should be dismissed, claiming that it “is not true. I cannot react to fake news. At times, all sorts of fake news are being circulated all over the country. It is propaganda against our party.”

Meanwhile, in a statement by his Directorate of Media and Publicity yesterday, Agbaje asked the assembly and the APC not to plunge the state into chaos over moves to remove Ambode, saying the move was capable of jeopardising the smooth running of the state.

According to him of course, the way Lagos politics has been structured over the last two decades, government actions are often dictated by open and covert objectives.

“That the legislators are hinging their action on the purported delay of the budget is simply a smokescreen for a very shameful undertone that the assembly members will not want to make open. They are yet to tell us their actual motivation for this superfluous move to shame the governor.

“I received the news of the impending removal of Ambode with a lot of reservation, especially with its timing and motive. This is just 19 or so days to the federal elections, and the governorship, a fortnight thereafter. So the natural questions to ask are: Why this haste? And what is the motive?” he asked.

Proof of what exactly? That Lagos state has billions in its coffers? Or that I know Lagos state makes money from taxation? I’m really not sure what you want me to prove.

Amitez:

But you believe Dezianni stole $20b to fund PDP campaign, yet you doubt N100b demanded from Ambode by APC.

If this is not true, why are they bent on impeaching him now, two weeks to elections. If he committed any impeachable offense why not wait until after elections?

Please quote me where I wrote that, Thank you. Then we can further our discussions.
