Politics / Trouble In Paradise: Sanwo-olu's Deputy Absent As Administration Marks 100 Days by ChukwumaCOD: 4:09pm On Sep 06, 2019 |
****Much as I don't believe in hear-say, this piece looks like there might be some iota of truth. Read on. Trouble In Paradise: Sanwo-Olu's Deputy Absent As Administration Marks 100 Days In Office As the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State marks 100 days in office, the question on the lips of politically savvy Lagosians is about the whereabouts of the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Kadri Hamzat. Hamzat, appears to have gone under the radar and has been missing in action in the last few days when the government rolled out activities to mark 100 days in office. From the unveiling of the Maternal and Child Care Centre (MCC) in Lekki, to the commissioning of the Lateef Jakande Housing Estate in Igando as well as the presentation of patrol vehicles and motorcycles to the police formations in the State and the launch of the Lagos Blue Box Programme, Hamzat has been conspicuously absent. Inside sources in Alausa say that since the newly inaugurated State Executive Council was formed and held its inaugural meeting, Hamzat has not been in good terms with his boss, Sanwo-Olu. The word out there is that Hamzat had hoped he would be saddled with the task of supervising the Works and Infrastructure Ministry (which he has hands-on experience) as well as the Science and Tech Ministry (where he last held sway before Fashola's administration ended), but he was neither given any of the portfolios to manage. Instead, Hakeem Fahm made a return as Commissioner for Science and Tech, while Engr. Aramide Adeyoye was given the juicy Ministry of Works to manage. A source said that an angry Hamzat felt humiliated and disappointed about the situation and threatened to resign his position. he was however prevailed upon by some party leaders to rethink his decision. An inside source said that Hamzat had been promised that he would supervise the Ministry of Works, one of the reasons he stepped down for Sanwo-Olu during the APC primaries last year, which totally silenced the second term ambition of embattled former governor, Akin Ambode. Though Hamzat's wife was present at the 100 days celebration, her husband's glaring absence leaves a sense of feeling that all is not well with the government at the Centre of Excellence. Is the BOSKOH structure already having cracks in 100 days? Only time will tell. Source: Adeyinka Hezekiah Jemibewon. |
