Set to organise counter rally, says government funding rally with public funds

An organization, the Save Lagos Group has raised an alarm over a rally by some faceless persons being planned for the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Convener, Comrade Adeniyi A. Sulaiman and Director, Media and Strategy, Comrade Olaolu Oladipo, the Save Lagos Group alleged that the state government has earmarked a huge amount of public funds for the rally.

In the statement, the Save Lagos Group also called on the state government to come out clean on its role in the rally slated to hold in Lagos on Saturday, saying “Information available to us indicates
the state government has committed a huge amount of money for the rally.”

The civil society group also queried the rationale behind the rally, which it stated was not being done for the benefit of the masses of the state but rather to satisfy the ego of some prominent leaders of
the ruling APC.According to the statement, “We wonder what benefit would accrue to the people of the state from Saturday’s rally rather than the fact that it was organized to massage the ego of prominent leaders of the
APC.

“What is even more confounding to us is the fact that the money or resources to be deployed would be coming from the pool of taxes paid by the people of the state who would have loved to see such resources utilized for developmental purposes rather than what it is being
planned for by the state government.”

The Save Lagos Group has further called on the state government to desist from such attempt to fritter the state’s resources on the rally, which it describes as frivolous and self-serving, saying should the planners of the event go ahead with the rally it would organize its own counter rally.

“We of the Save Lagos Group are calling on the state government and the planners of the event to stop the rally, failure to do so would compel us to organise a counter rally to demonstrate that the motive of the organizers is far from being very altruistic.” The statement reads.

On its next moves should the rally goes ahead, Save Lagos Group also vowed to organize a counter rally of over 5 million residents to protest what it termed an assault to the collective wellbeing of the
people of the state.

“We will be compelled to call on residents of the state to a mass protest against attempt to loot their treasury by self serving politicians who don’t mean well for them and who are out to rob them
of their collective development.” Its reads.

OMG! Will some of y'all get your faces out of Trump's annus already?? You're beginning to sound like zombies/robots. Abi wetin consign Trump in Lagos matter? Geez!

As for this so-called group, if dem get that kind clout to muster 5-million Lagosians as they claim, that would've been more than enough to determine who rules the state. But we all know they're just a bunch of loud-mouthed empty vessels.

The dynamic Jagaban Borgu of Lagos. A dynamite ready to explode

Trump the new term for upset!

how can a whole tribe/region sell their birth right through one jagabantis to the malams and now want to redeem themselves after a long years in slavery

Which kind useless group be this, you no fit mention the name of the group wey plan the rally make I go show support for the greatest yoruba of our time.

Please those who are not proud of any of their leaders should not quote me, No be me cause you pain na dishonesty wey dey run for urna blood. Gracias

No need to make noise. Federal police will be mounted on the streets of lagos on the day of the useless protest. Tinubu should take his L silently and not disturb public peace

fashola again

According to the Save Lagos Group, the group planing the rally is a faceless one and, in the same breath, it is being sponsored by the state government. What silly contradiction! People should stop talking to the press when they just leave the bar.

are you among thores that sold their birth right thru jagabandit to mala people

The day Lagos PDP started praising Gov. Ambode and criticising Fashola showed that Tinubu now controls Lagos APC and PDP. Civil society group now play opposition role in Lagos. Even Lagos state HOA (dominated by APC) condemned demolition of shanties by the executive. Is Ambode too perfect to be criticised by Lagos PDP?

What rally? Why will they organize rally for Tinubu? What is he contesting for? Na Easter rally or Christmas rally? Nawa ooo...

Buratai take note.

THE NIGERIA SOLUTION: A MIND RE-DRIVE
Greetings to You Dear Mr. President, our Political Office Holders and my Fellow Nigerians, I suggest we make the best use of this tenure to fix the basic FOUNDATIONAL PROBLEM to all our problems as an emerging Great Country: the AVERAGE NIGERIAN MINDSET! Here we can fix the many issues of our Country by using 'ONE STONE to kill a thousand birds'.
Nigeria was not as bad as this, we started becoming like this when we started *THINKING WRONGLY *
Let us use the MIND RE-DRIVE STRATEGY. This is by renewing the minds of Nigerians (as many are with respect to Integrity, corrupt) through an AGGRESSIVE value reorientation campaign using all forms of Public and Private Agencies and media; Tv, radio, internet Print media, even the movies, musical artistes etc.
If the President through his powers ( with our Governors and other Political office holders) together with the teeming population can reproduce an 'Integrity' mindset in the average citizen, his work will be made much more easy in fixing Nigeria, cutting down the giant tree of Nigeria problems from its MAIN ROOT.
'Get a person to think of doing a thing AND he will ACTUALLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY do it.' Get the Nigerian person to think of doing the right thing righlty AND he will ACTUALLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY do the right thing rightly.'
Then will we have many 'high integrity persons' almost everywhere, fixing Nigeria. This way, the 'REAL POSITIVE CHANGE' will be deeply entrenched and sustainable for future generations.
It will surely take us time and much sacrifice, but we will get there if we persist!
A tree cannot make a forest alone, BUT CAN, through reproduction. Just Imagine if every Nigerian was thinking and acting with integrity at the various levels of our society, how our Country will be, Paradise!
If we fix our 'Integrity' values as individuals and as a Country, God helping us; Nigeria will become Paradise! _St. Nom S.
Pls share till it reaches everyone, We can be Great again, even Greater than ever before!!
