Lagos State House of Assembly has set up a six-man ad-hoc committee to investigate the financial misappropriation allegation levelled against the state government by a group known as, “The True Face of Lagos,” published in one of the national dailies yesterday.

The Assembly took the decision after the member representing Alimosho Constituency II, Hon. Onibiyo Adelabu, under Matter of Urgent Public Importance, brought to the notice of the House the advertorial alleging that Fashola had mismanaged the state’s funds.

Adelabu said, “I came across an advertorial in a newspaper today and it was full of serious allegations. All of us, including the state executive arm, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other party chieftains were accused in the publication.

“Immediately I finished reading it, I called those that signed it and they told me that they stand by it and that they still have more to come.

So I will urge the Assembly to look into this matter so that we don’t allow anybody to tarnish our image,” Adelabu said.

Also speaking, Hon. Rotimi Olowo said all the allegations in the publication were new to him. He said, “we need to be careful because we don’t know if it is the handiwork of our detractors.

If we are hearing these allegations from people that call themselves the true face of Lagos, then there is the need to investigate all these allegations."

The committee, headed by Hon. Rasak Balogun, is expected to report back to the Assembly on Monday, February 15, 2010.

How can an honest investigation be conducted by a committee set by the same government?

IS fashola a saint? abeg! no be all of dem they gada chop the mony?

This is interesting. They should extend the probe to the Lekki-Epe Expressway concession, and the way it was granted. They should focus their attention on the companies operating the concession, especially Hi-Tech Sand-sand company, as well as the land holdings granted to companies and individuals connected directly or remotely to the LCC in the Lekki Corridor.

Special attention should be paid to Royal Garden Estate, Beechwood Estate and the 1500 hectare New Lagoon City project. If their investigation does not cover these pieces of choice real estate, all true sons and daughters of Lagos State should know then that the real face of the so called "true face of Lagos" is none other than the so-called toothless god-father of Lagos politics himself.

They must tell us also, how Alpha Beta Consulting came to be appointed a revenue consultant for Lagos State, and how come they are earning the stupendous amounts we are hearing of (last figure I heard was N1.7bn/month!!). They should also tell us who the individuals behind Alpha Beta are, and what they did before forming Alpha Beta, which apparently came to life at the advent of the first term of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Governor of Lagos State. Thanks all.

Finally, residents of Lagos must regard this as a clarion call to arms, for this presents us with an opportunity to finally confront the Evil Dragon of Bourdillon and his legions of demons in human skin, both in the civil service and politics, and hand them a final and comprehensive defeat.
