It was a pleasure to meet with Lagos State Governor @JideSanwoOlu.

Lagos is the business and cultural heartland of Nigeria and a gateway for UK trade and investment.

The potential for future growth is enormous. I look forward to working with our Nigerian partners to deliver it.

As part of his African tour, the UK Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, Rt. Hon. David Lammy today paid a courtesy call on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Hon. Lammy praised the Lagos State Government’s development strides especially in transportation, the environment and infrastructure. He said the UK is open for continuous business with Lagos and would want to see more collaborations between London and Lagos.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his response, thanked the visiting UK envoy and his entourage, telling them the historic importance of the seat of Government in Lagos, which dates back almost two centuries. The Governor said that the Greater Lagos vision is to make the city the economic hub of the world, noting that this is the driving force behind the Government’s developmental strategy and efforts as encapsulated in the THEMES+ agenda.

The Governor reiterated the his administration’s commitment to the full growth of the State’s creative economy, infrastructural development and sustainable policies on the environment.

Lagos is the first port of call for Hon. David Lammy, since the new Labour Party assumed office about two months ago.

The Musk-man has posted 3,000 times on Twitter in the last month. Most are pro-Trump disinformation and outright lies. Remember, he has skin in the game. Consider his posts accordingly.

Stephen, you pay more attention than my biggest fans 🥰

He's your fan he just won't admit it

LMAO Cardi B's teleprompter was broken and she had no idea what to do for over a minute until someone ran on the stage to give her a phone to read off. Holy embarrassing.

Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.

The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.

I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm

Egbon, perhaps you're right but on a norms, the babe no get sense.

Was there a need for the pollj?

Nigerians born in diaspora are also Nigerians and deserve a chance to play for the national teams at all levels.

Its the reason I was pissed when that Irish-Nigerian gal was tossed around from U-20 to U-17 and the coaches ended up not picking her.

Okobi displayed intellect myopia and scored an own goal with that post

Ondo Guber: Labour Party berates Channels TV for limiting debate to only APC, PDP

By Abdul Babajide
Published on November 3, 2024

The Ondo State chapter of the Labour Party (LP), has condemned the move by Channels Television to restrict the planned governorship election debate to only two political parties.

While stressing that the media outfit was ill-advised, Labour Party maintained that the decision was not the representation of reality in the state.

The Director of Publicity, Labour Party Campaign Organisation, Johnson Egbodofo, who berated the organisers for limiting the live debate to candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, explained that the LP as a party had drawn the attention of the organisers to the error while they promised to make amends, but nothing was done.

Egbodofo disclosed that the portrayal of the standard-bearers of the APC and PDP as two leading candidates ahead of the November 16 governorship election was a ploy to manipulate the choices of the people.

“The attention of the Labour Party and its candidates in the Ondo State Governorship Election scheduled for the 16th day of November 2024 has been drawn to an advert by Channels Television of its planned live debate on Sunday, 3rd November 2024, for candidates of the ruling APC and PDP, which Channels ill-advisedly described as the two leading candidates in the election.

“As a media-friendly organisation and personalities, we took immediate steps to contact CHANNELS and its officials, particularly Seun Okinbaloye, who is the anchor of the debate, not to use the station’s authoritative media status to mislead but to accord the people of Ondo State and the station’s global audience the opportunities of a fair assessment of the status of the political parties and quality of the candidates for the election.”
