What exactly is US trained supposed to mean? This is part of our problem. Some of the best lawyers were trained in Nigerian universities. Secondly there are good schools and bad schools abroad even in the US.

It is not beyond the reason to expect that an undergraduate in law should know that there is separation of powers and you can’t interfere in an ongoing case.

The issue here is tardiness. How do you as a chief of staff sanction a list of appointees that include dead people? It’s happened more than once.

As for Lagos state APC please don’t let me start. Yes they are capable of appointing SOME sound people but will they allow sound people to do the right thing or work to their full capabilities without allowing greed to set in? The problem with Lagos APC is because they have certain natural advantages over other states, because they have had Tinubu to pave the way, they feel they are the better than they really are and they operate with that arrogance. They have not had many states with the ability or personnel to expose their nonsense. See how many roads Wike has built in 2 years and the quality of the roads. Don’t let me start with Lagos APC.

How they handled (bungled) the recent rehabilitation not the admiralty to Ajah reconstruction is in my humble opinion symptomatic of the mediocre minds in Lagos APC. No scenario planning no forecasting, did they not know that December is not the best time to embark on rehabilitation on that road at a time when you are promoting Detty December. That’s just one example but typical of a mediocre overrated bunch who have come to believe their own hype. What gets on my nerves is that they are arrogant in the mediocrity not realizing they are simply one eyed men in a country of the blind.

Think about it for a second. Only Lagos APC will open up an entire corridor with only i road in and out. To go from one estate in that corridor to another just next door, you have to go on the express way. That’s Lagos APC excellence….Brilliant minds indeed! If they were the ones who planned ikeja or surulere, yaba, iluoeju or any of the old areas the traffic on Mortala Mohammed way, western Avenue, airport rd etc would be child’s play compared to the lekki traffic.

You've said it all.

In every organization, lethargy often sets in to various degrees WITHIN the workforce. The chains of command have to be robust as well starting with the President, the Governors, the LGA chairpersons, etc, and the lines of communication have to be open at all times. The folks on the lower cadre of APC Lagos and their agencies are in my opinion largely responsible for not passing on relevant information to their bosses on time as well. A major retreat is needed in the lead up to 2026 so that they can all REALLY become motivated and aware of some "disruptive strategies" that can be utilized to leapfrog that party for the benefit of all.

Though Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, the Commissioner of Works, and his team did well to build a new Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge to ease the massive traffic jams in the Maryland, Opebi, Mobolaji Bank Anthony axis, that road rehabilitation on the Lekki Peninsula should have been done long before the impending holiday period knowing FULL WELL that there's currently an inflow of Diasporans and tourists for the "Detty December" Holiday. To make matters more annoying, there's been a slew of information about kidnappings along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway (especially the Ibadan end) by foreign Fula bandits hiding in the forests just off the expressway. This is a mirror of what has been happening every year since the Buhari Presidency. A major sense of urgency should have triggered Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu and his fellow SW Governors to order large numbers of surveillance and attack drones since they FIRST suggested the use during their South West regional meeting early this 2025 in order to mitigate the yearly attacks by foreign Fula bandits hiding in the forests right next to some major highways in the SW.

The cerebral former Governor Babatunde Raji-Fashola and his team I'm aware used to conduct opinion polls to find out what the folks on the street level needed at any particular point in time and Nigerians in the Diaspora and in Nigeria saw the massive transformations he carried out in the Oshodi area with the gentrification and greening of that axis of Lagos State.

The fundamental problem with Lagos APc can be summed up this way:

A leader is determined by his lieutenants, his team. One reason why Awolowo was so successful was not just his vision or his administrative abilities but in the caliber of his team of Lieutenants in his political family. It is for that reason that Awolowo can conceptualize a vision of a university for the western region and leave Akintola to plan and execute and deliver excellence. Many of the legacies of Awo were not executed by him but his team of Lieutenants even after he left office….even while he was in prison, even under military govt and deliver to a standard of excellence. Once you are a member of Awo’s political family your standard is excellence and this is reflected in what they did wherever they were whether Awo was around or not.

This is the problem I have with Lagos APC as a Political family. [b]They are largely populated by mediocre people incapable of excellence and occupy the positions they do because unlike in Awolowo’s era, the best brains stayed away from politics and governance and created a vacuum which these charlatans have now filled. In Awolowo’s time, a Gbaja who attended a law school rated in the bottom 10% of American law schools would never rise to become his chief of staff. The opportunity to be a key figure would not even present itself. So it’s no surprise we see the tardiness we see. Awolowo would. To even tolerate you embarrassing g him so many times.

These are the people that populate Lagos APC. Ofcourse there are a few exceptions but the excellence can never emanate from such an environment, where throroughness, excellence of thought and execution is the exception rather than the rule. I understand that this is also a reflection of how we have fallen as a people but what really gets on my nerves is the arrogance and how they parade themselves as the best thing since sliced bread.[/b]

That said they are still better than the alternatives and that’s why they remain in power.

That's deep... Really deep.

You just "toasted" these folks like toasted sliced bread.

With reference to Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, you spoke the truth about him. He indeed had a team that conceptualized the Ikeja GRA, the Ikeja Industrial Estate, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, the Iganmu Industrial Estate, the Oluyole Industrial Estate, Odua Group, the Western House highrise building on Lagos Island, the Cocoa House highrise building in Ibadan, the Bodija Estate in Ibadan, free education, the huge cattle ranches with several improved hybrids in the Fasola area of Oyo State which gradually disappeared during the years of military dictatorship because of the oil boom and military corruption. Since Awolowo attended the London School of Economics and Political Science I noticed that some of those who got Western Region scholarships also went to LSE.

Governor. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu is an ex-investment banker who rose to the senior rank of a Treasurer [just like the now President 'Bola Tinubu rose to become a Treasurer with Mobil Nigeria (now ExxonMobil)]. Sanwo-Olu was the FIRST EVER Chairman of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) so he has had experience in public service after leaving the private sector and finance. More is expected from these men and their lieutenants tbh.

I've occasionally wondered when the 4th Mainland Bridge and the Lekki-Epe International Airport construction would commence with Sanwo-Olu's finance background because time is ticking out. I've seen two models of the airport on IG and that airport is gonna be lit on completion. Roads are also critical and just like you earlier stated, that "Wike standard" is going to be good for Lagos State.

I thoroughly enjoyed your disection of APC Lagos and the solutions to assist them to get back on track for the benefit of the citizens.

Cheers.

I will respond to you for a reason.

If Tinubu wanted to pardon her, now is the time not when it is still under appeal. Now the final Court in the land has spoken, the case has gotten to its final end, he can now do whatever he deems fit.

Her lawyer cited the pardon as a reason the case should be thrown out and it's a NO. Prerogative of mercy comes when the case has expired. Why do you think she hadn't been hanged before now, that is because it is still a live issue.

The President no matter how powerful cannot usurp the Powers of the Court.

When I see things like this, I feel proud for NL.
God Bless you and thank you for this.

Let her enjoy her sentence in peace.

yorosstores:
The Supreme Court did not nullify the presidential pardon, the convict already has a pending appeal and this was not granted by the supreme court. They upheld the death sentence

If the president wants to pardon her, he can still do it.
