TINUBU AND FASHOLA IN LAGOS LAND SCAM WORTH BILLIONS We, the Lagos Progressives Movement once again wish to update fellow Nigerians online on the various land scams perpetuated by Former Governor Bola Tinubu and now aided and covered up by Governor Babatunde Fashola. The facts stated below are true and verifiable. We have gone further to quote real names of collaborators and addresses of properties for readers to verify themselves. We had posted a similar piece but this is an updated and slightly abridged version with new facts added. We are reposting this due to popular demand by many well meaning Lagosians. Please read and digest: Tinubu is the number one landlord in Lagos and has turned Lagos land worth trillions of naira into his personal possession to be used freely or given away unaccounted for. Even after he left office, Tinubu still continues to steal Lagos land under the watch of Fashola. He gives out Lagos land to curry political favours and still occasional sign certificate of occupancy even as ex governor and backdating them to period he was in office. These brazen acts of corruption are with the active collaboration of select few public officers who are obscenely wealthy at the expense of Lagos tax payers. Most notable are Gbenga Ashafa-formerly executive secretary and now Permanent Secretary, Land’s Bureau since 2001; Mrs Awofisayo-formerly Permanent Secretary and now Special Adviser, New Town Development Authority (NTDA), and a relation of Bola Tinubu from Iragbiji, Osun state who has been in charge of NTDA since 1999; Hakeem Muri-Okunola-PA to former Gov Tinubu and now Executive Secretary, Land’s Bureau; Mrs Nike Animashaun-Director, Land Services and known to be close to Bola Tinubu and Tunji Olowolafe. These people are arguably the wealthiest unelected public servants ever in the history of Lagos state. They are major wheelers and dealers of prime land. We mentioned in our earlier publication that the Land’s Bureau at Alausa stinks of corruption. We catalogue below a few brazen acts of stealing and corruption committed by Tinubu and aided by Fashola on the good tax payers of LagosTinubu’s greed and primitive acquisition tendency knows no bound. In fact, it is believed that Lagos land personally converted by him is worth over N500 billion and growing because he hasn’t stopped. A few of them are listed below:1. 4 Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi. A 5 bedroom detached house on 1 acre of Land which was a Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 now belongs to Bola Tinubu. The C of O was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office. The property is valued at N450million2. Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc guest house. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public fund to rebuild and renovate it. Recently, the Lagos state government bought the property and paid undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600million 3. The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450million purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after he left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before he left office.4. The 250 hectare land valued at about N35billion strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road which was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa local government was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd- a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu to develop as Royal Garden housing estate at the expense of the tax payers of Lagos5. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki LG and given to LCC which is part owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd(ARM) as ADIVA project6. The prime land of 157 Hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki LG and given to Ibukun Fakeye-his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project which is not owned by the state government. 7. The 14 Hectares Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu. 8. While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos state secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu aided by Fashola9. Also the choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.10. Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front-Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices: • The 3.8hectares of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI(beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion• The Fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for low cost housing scheme valued at N5billion • The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million11. Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete Project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of C & C and Hitech Construction Ltd at ridiculously low price at the expense of the tax payers of Lagos.12. Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government. 13. It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Gov Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex.14. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, VI and GRA Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or are unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the sky rocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.15. Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarter of Television Continental (TVC) which is owned by him is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.16. Tinubu single handedly sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, VI which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.17. Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area18. Tinubu’s wife Remi Tinubu built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko off the Lekki-Epe express road with Lagos state funds and has now converted it to personal use19. Tinubu also owns the Fara park estate and the Beach wood estate both in Lekki20. The Critical care unit at the LASUTH in Ikeja built and equipped with state funds is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr Sikiru Tinubu (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the state govt for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.21. Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Gov Tinubu and Gov Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from year 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa and Mrs Awofisayo are the conduit through which these acts are being perpetuated. Both are also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own22. Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to Tinubu and Fashola for ‘job well done’ or for being privy to sensitive informationa) Dele Alake, former commissioner for Information and Strategy was sold a whole house on Alexander road, ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a giveaway price. (b) Rauf Aregbesola, AC Osun State governorship candidate and former commissioner and Muiz Banire, still a serving commissioner got detached houses at Ladoke Akintola st, GRA Ikeja for the “good job” while serving under Tinubu. (c) Yemi Cardoso and Wale Edun both former commissioners were sold houses on Iru close, and other location in old Ikoyi at giveaway prices by Tinubu. The list is endless. 23. Gov Fashola in the wake of the petition against him presented by “The True Face of Lagos” to the House of Assembly has succeeded in buying his way out of trouble temporarily by bribing each of the 40 members with cash and prime state land at Abijo GRA off Lekki-Epe road. In addition, he bought a N40million bullet proof jeep for the speaker in a desperate bid to ward off investigation by the assemblyThese corrupt acts have deprived the tax payers of Lagos billions in revenue which could have been used for public projects. Indeed, the prime land stolen from the Lekki axis is enough to build the Lekki-Epe road without burdening residents and other tax payers with a 30 year concessioned toll road, We know that people will say why don’t you take this matter to EFCC? Well the EFCC appears compromised on matters concerning Tinubu. If not, how come he has not been charged to court despite several petitions against him and in spite of Nuhu Ribadu’s boastful claims that he had enough evidence to nail him. Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi once fought hard to get the Supreme Court to rule that that the Police could investigate Tinubu for certificate forgery and perjury and prosecute him after he leaves office. He left office 3 years ago and lost his immunity but where is the Nigeria Police? But we know that eventually, his cup will run over and he will be brought to justice. And why is there a conspiracy of silence by those known to be dogged fighters of corruption? Why are they watching as both men seems to be getting away with corruption? We hope Lagosians will wake up and fight for their rights. The elites should speak out now and force the EFCC to take action. We once again call on the elders of Lagos, the elites at the Lagos Island Club, Ikoyi Club, Lawn Tennis Club, Yoruba Tennis Club, Ikeja Country Club, Eko Club, Metropolitan Club, The Boat Club, Apapa Club, etc. We also call on the religious leaders of both faith, prominent traditional rulers, the media, opinion molders and members of civil society to speak out Let us join hands in the collective effort to call on the anti-corruption agencies, and in particular the EFCC, to act now and move into the Land’s Bureau and the State’s Treasury Office at Alausa to conduct a thorough investigation on Land matters from year 2000 to date. We assure the public that if this is done transparently, it might be possible to recover trillions of naira stolen from the tax payers of Lagos.

I thought we have Efcc and ICPC and the police in this land?

I am not surprised if the allegation is true and the fact that he has not been tried doesn't surprise me either. GEJ after all we know shields corrupt people. His number one priority is to ensure no corrupt person goes to jail. What surprises me is that I thought he only does it for PDP members, never knew his "generosity" extends to the opposition.

Reading some of the comments on here ( mostly by people who support PDP) I feel so ashamed.

Our problem in this country is our inability tot say the truth simply because we have something against certain people or region ( in some cases religion).

You people keep saying the man bribed his way through or tinubu and or Fashola did it for him how is that the man's failure.

Isn't the FG ( who does no wrong in your eyes) in control of the efcc and the courts (t autonomy my foot). IF ( a big IF) efcc and the court was bribed isn't it supposed to be a slap on the government? Isn't it to be because the government put corrupt people in sensitive positions?

And don't bring about autonomy when it comes to the courts cos if the courts are not influenced by the FG, Ayo Salami would still be in service.

I do not judge Ikuroriji but to say he bribed his way through is to say the man in charge of the country is a failure. If he can't ensure a proper job is done then is he fit to rule?

I guess Bode George's so called vindication was also bought.

Just like saying the man is not a murderer but he sent hire killers

Which indices is he using to measure this? The liar that keeps lying. He probably lied about the lack of shoes as well. I don't even believe they named him Goodluck, he probably lied and everyone bought into that lie and the name Goodluck became known with him.

I did this for many years. The pain you go through after grinding pepper this way can be unbearable but THANK GOD FOR GOD.

Memories.

Good law if you ask me. The prisons should be a place to reset people to the default setting and not to kill them. Should be punishment not a way of ending people's life.

Very good development. However, knowing our polithieves, they will use this law to help their own people not those who are truly remorseful.

babaloke: I'm interested
shobogs@yahoo.com

you have to write me via the email provided.

More people are welcome to apply.

otijah: And after she did all that the man still distributed the disease. What about the poeple who worked very hard containing and eradicating the virus? Wht are their own compensation. Make them go sidon abeg

This is a very insensitive statement to make. She used her little powers to ensure the man does not leave the hospital for another place which if it had happened, the whole country would have been in trouble.

She and others who did their jobs and risked their lives while taking peanuts deserves an award more than the footballers who got bogus money to play for us.

So our reps can be bought for $20,000 that's less than N4,000,000 shows how cheap bastards they are.

Shameful.

PalmTree: I received your reply, Thank you. However I will like to know how to proceed, I have also sent you another mail in that regard. I will appreciate quick responses.

I will email everyone again this morning.

Noneroone: so in a situation where "FG didnt release money" the credit goes to Lagos govt by default?

Hypocrite. I credited both governments but you discredited Lagos state government and credited the federal goverment because of your APC/PDP bullshiit.

Icon4s: Good news. But I still wonder y some people still believe there was no kidnap in the first place

Those who do not believe are the type of people who will fail exams in their school as they refuse to read and then blame it on one witch in their village.

They bought into the blame game of their master.

Noneroone: u mean the lagos govt that it took three days to start recovering dead bodies from the rubbles of the collapsed synagogue building, after begging TB joshua (the chief culprit) to withdraw his church officials?

Nonsense. Arrant nonsense. You mean the FG that didn't release money till weeks later?

RagaMufeen: The news that shekau died will really affect APC because the end of bokoharam era is approaching so how will APC do now?
Before shekau was distracting Jonathan but now nothing to distract Jonathan so APC will be very angry at this.


The boko haram political gain for APC is near end now.

Your foolishness is legendary. You all must make excuses for GEJ's incompetence it seems. Was it APC who stopped the man who has all the powers and the relevant laws backing him from dealing with boko haram?

Can we not stop this PDP/APC bullsh*t and actually finally call a spade exactly what it is?

If it was APC using Shekau and boko haram, what stops GEJ from bringing them down instead of the blame games he busied himself with?

We have done a good job on this Ebola issue. Kudos to the Lagos government and the federal government.

The way we tackle Ebola is a pointer to how much we can achieve as a country if we have a strong WILL, if we do not allow political or regional sentimentality get into our way of reasoning.

GOD bless Nigeria.

I am happy for the girl and her family. At least they can now start life afresh.

However, it is surprising how the media has kept mute over the insensitive statement made by Olukolade which he then retracted.

I can't believe the presidency hasn't gotten him redundant by now. To me, making such a claim is a sackable offense.

GEJ keeps shielding incompetent and corrupt people yet people take him serious.

Me sef don disown the man. Never seen a man so useless. I went to Ogun state in 2001 before he came into power and I was proud of it, I have been to Ogun state so many times in the last 2 years and each time, I have one curse or the other for Daniel.

It will take anyone 16 years if not more to fix the mess Daniel created in Ogun state. He has ruined his chances of contesting for even chairman of a local government. No one in his family can win an elective role in Ogun state again unless they do it PDP style.

The biggest lie on earth. Wenger will NEVER make a move for those 2 players. We will have to unfortunately wait till January.

Kalet5: Some days back

If you have not got a reply, please check your spam folder or re-send the mail.

The OP is new to that Italian it seems. He is a fraud who comes up with one rubbish report after the other.

United is a big club with serious minded commercial people no way they will. Sign such a deal even though those of us who have been following football for a while know United actually bought Falcao but won't allow the deal as outright purchase so as not to fall foul of the financial fair play laws as would have been the case if the Falcao deal is not announced as a loan deal for now and then as a permanent deal once the current financial year is over.

If you think United will pay €20m to loan a player who is 28 years coming from a big injury and is on £300k per week then you are new to football especially football as a BUSINESS.

Criminal records? When a lot of them don't get convicted because the efccc and the police will rather look the other way or allowed to be used?

How many of them have been convicted or how do you stop people who are not convicted? He is just making noise or maybe he means those in the opposition the PDP intends to stop from contesting.

Olukolade can't and shouldn't be taken seriously any more. He has shown he is a liar. Is it not the same man who yesterday lied to us that the chibok girls have been rescued?

O0XYGEN: nigerian mentally.No wonder u people are classified as fools.

A Ghanian ( another name for someone sells puff puff and shines shoes) is calling a Nigeria fool, perfect. I guess there is another definition of "fool" cos that name is the sole right of Ghanians.

Kalet5: I told you that i am interested and you have not replied back to me

When did you send the mail.

PalmTree: You got mail

I will send you a reply shortly.

Owoado: please i am waiting for a response from you. I indicated readiness in the test. Thanks

I replied everyone today. If you haven't got a reply, re-send your mail please.

Thanks.

ezera: Some people feel they own this world. I registered keen interest as a Chelsea writer, only for the owner of this thread to sound arrogant and insensitive. How would you expect someone to write 3 articles in 24 hours? Thats a show of insensitivity. I took the pains to write two of the aformentioned, only to be left in no-mans-land. Visited the so called blog anyway, it was thrash, deserted, disjointed, plain and immature. Rest my case.

Your post sums you up to be honest. Other people are doing it and yes, the site is deserted and disjointed hence we have 3 awards in 2 years and turn over millions every month.

Attitude is everything.
