The former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu will remove Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, once his political interest in the South-South is secured.

Lamido made this assertion while speaking on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Tuesday night.

According to him, Tinubu appointed Wike for a specific political purpose, and once it is accomplished, the former Rivers State governor will be dismissed.

“Tinubu was looking for someone who will help him in his political interest,” Lamido said.

“The whole appointment of Wike was to make sure Tinubu secures the South-South.

“So far, he has been able to get Akwa Ibom and Edo states. Wike already has Rivers State.

“By the time Tinubu is able to secure the South-South in his own basket, Wike will become irrelevant, and he will remove him.

“He appointed Wike for a purpose, gave him an office for a purpose; by the time the purpose is no more, that’s the end of it.”

Tinubu will not win APC primaries
Tinubu will not win the presidential elections

Sannisege:
Lamido thinks everyone is a user like him. Tinubu always rewards loyalty very well. Ask Keyamo, Akpabio, Oshiomole, and many more, they will testify to this

yarimo:
Busy body how is that your business? go and face your dead on arrival coalition

Racoon:
Of course it is a certainty that Tinubu will eventually do away with Nyesom Wike simply Wike is too power drunk and Tinubu would be ready to sacrifice anyone in desperation just or hold on to power. Treachery and back stabbing are the hallmarks of politics.

opes:
Agreed. He may remove him as FCT Minister, but not entirely from his government, he will get a bigger office. Tinubu doesn't betray loyalty

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

TheBillyonaire:
What has Tinubu done in he South South to secure their votes? Amaechi was to Buhari, what Wike and Akpabio are to Tinubu, There is no Federal Project in the South South, and therefore, there will be no need to expect any mass support.

Can someone point point out any Federal Project that is on-going apart from rhetoric and promises?
