Gbenga Omotoso: Lagos Not Trying To Protect Tinubu With Anti-Graft Law by Doraty1(f): 5:30pm On Apr 27, 2021
The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, said in a statement that the palliative entailed the cutting and removal of asphalt as well as the placement of a steel plate on the affected parts of the bridge.

Lagos commissioner for information, Gbenga Omotosho, says the Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led administration is not seeking to protect any personality with the anti-graft law it recently signed.

On Sunday, newsmen reported that the governor signed a law establishing an anti-corruption agency with “exclusive” rights to probe cases of corruption that have to do with the state.

This nascent agency will take over cases relating to Lagos from agencies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The news stirred criticism on social media as some Nigerians questioned the motive of the law.

But speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday, Omotosho said the law was not enacted to protect any personality, adding that the insinuations are a product of the fertile imagination of critics.

He said the law is to enforce accountability on anyone dealing with the state’s funds.

“The idea that the law is to protect either Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu or anybody is highly speculative, presumptuous and in the conjectural imagination of anybody thinking so. It’s out of place for anybody to think that a law will be made because of a section of the society or some personalities,” the commissioner said.

“That’s not the aim of the law. Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor, said very clearly when he signed the law that he signed it for accountability so that people won’t misappropriate the state’s funds and get away with it.

“Why is it that people are talking about some personalities when you talk about corruption, they are not even talking about contractors who may go away with the state’s money without doing any job. There are many people who are supposed to be reined in through this law, not just some people.”

The question remains, does Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu have a pending case since 2007 that he left office, yet such cases never got charged to court for 13 good years 7 under PDP

The anti-corruption agency been set up is for personal interest of Tinubu. It will be used to ensure compliance with the thugs/area boys ruling Lagos. It can also be deployed to counter federal investigation.

Looks like these thieves have consultants from Boston Consult or McKinsey. Awon eleribu

" “Why is it that people are talking about some personalities when you talk about corruption, they are not even talking about contractors who may go away with the state’s money without doing any job. There are many people who are supposed to be reined in through this law, not just some people.”

Who is stopping them from prosecuting corrupt contractors, if they don't takeover the cases EFFC and co are handling they won't fight corruption, that piece of legislation is upto no good, even the corruption case brought against the Speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly is in comatose let alone the man that almost 10 roads in the state are named after him.

No contractor will ever run away with money without doing the job if the company is not owned by a politican or doing some shady business with an influential politican. Again, it all falls back to having corrupt people in government.
