GOVERNOR SANWO-OLU MUST NOT TURN LG FUNDS TO HIS ATM!

(Being a press text of the African Action Congress (AAC),Lagos.)

The Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has uncovered the habitual continuation of a long-term "unchecked access" to Local Government funds especially by the Lagos state government led by Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The NFIU has exposed that Sanwo-Olu has deducted over #370million from the #750million allocated to Alimosho Local Government. This means that five LCDAs will be put to squeeze just #320million left.

Lagos AAC calls Governor Sanwo-Olu to return the #370million immediately! We also call on the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), National Union of Teachers (NUT) and other worker's unions to rise up and defend the LGs from the bloody teeths of the gluttony. This is the character of the APC government since 1999. The why they forcefully rig every LG elections through the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).

AAC calls on ALGON to rise and speak up as Lagosians will take no excuse in demanding that duties are maximally performed with accountability at the Local government level.

Governor Sanwo-Olu must stop pampering with LG funds as they are not ATMs for him and his greedy party. Imagine over #52billion has been cornered from Alimosho LG alone since 1999. This is wicked, illegal, and a colossal theft of the people's common wealth.

Lagos AAC will henceforth mobilize our LG branches to start engaging the LGs over this legendary fraud by APC.

We therefore demand that NFIU publishes publicly all funds transferred to Local Governments monthly! This will help fiscal transparency all over the country.


We cannot continue to allow brazen stealing of public funds by any body anymore, no matter how powerful. Everyday for the thieves, some days for the owner!

You can't sow a seed of mangoes and harvest vegetables, you can't vote bad leaders and expect good governance. It's impossible.

It's not something of a surprise to me that Gov Babajide Sanwaolu, a puppet of the grand Master of Slavery (Jagaban) is already doing what his predecessors did before they left power. Stealing from the masses by the ruling class has been the order of the day in this country and until we identify our oppressors and vote for leaders that care, things like this will always happen and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.. The people of Lagos should seat back, relax and enjoy the government they voted for, hopefully they will make a better choice in the next election..

Are they ok ? What do they want him to remit to the Frog of Bourdillon
