This is how Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC has always been, even when Buhari was president, pretending to be incorruptible.

Tinubu has simply taken the sinful assembly of redeemed saints to the extra level of rotteness.

chisomkachy:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

Tinubu is not just a politician, he knows how to pull support.

He singlehandedly gave Buhari all the support he needed to win 2015 election.

People who are saying that he will not win 2027 election are babies who knows nothing about election or are bittered that Obi is a loser and is about to become a serial loser like Atiku.
He singlehandedly gave Buhari all the support he needed to win 2015 election, from the money stolen from hapless Lagosians.

Lagosians who cough up trillions annual IGR and budget from increasing tax burden. Lagosians who are deprived of water supply and the related jobs to provide it.

Why is he such an olodo in governance huh

NaijaRoyalty:
…Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money

However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”

Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.

He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.

Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.

I don’t have to be on every thread to say what I’ve said on previous threads. Also, I don’t need to see the budget performance report to know that the 2025 budget is unrealistic. I’ve criticized the 2025 revenue projections severally on this forum as as unrealistic long before Wale Edun addressed the NASS on it.

I’m not like some of you who always try to play politics with everything. Funny enough, a Fulani man is the Minister for budget and planning and not a Lagos boy. I can bet you don’t know the difference between the job of the Minister of finance that of Budget and planning.
The same minister of budget and national planning under the government today was same person,Alh Bagudu who was the same person who stashed Abacha's loots in foreign banks!!!!

Obi and his collusion of paperweight babies without a single councilor will defeat a sitting "SW president" with over 30 Governors and 80% of national Assembly members in his party?
If Obi is actually brilliant he won't even go near such contest. He's like a poor man who couldn't afford a bicycle yet pricing a $10m Ferrari motorhome. The guy is too dumb for my liking. When ibooes are serious to rule Nigeria they will present a smart politician and not that leh leh and if not, the SS region and SW will continue to rotate the southern turn.
Ko kan aye.

Yet lagosians are given the platform to generate their own money as well....

Point is, if you make the environment to be livable, the people don't mind to pay to be able to live.


Lagos will ensure that you make money....so should the government.

But if you think you are a better person and can make Lagos a better place than Tinubu.... Why not go and contest election and make the rules.

Ye ye ye, yarning trash as usual
Point is, after his trials to succeed a candidate, he mastered his craft and made it possible with Buhari.

You might not understand that Tinubu didn't lose to fail ... He studied the situation and made changes to win.

That's Jagaban!

Indeed. We can clearly see how APC is attracting them. This was just 3 days ago. Today, he has been "attracted" to the APC. Keep attracting. Tinubu will gladly gamble your lives away just to secure Northern votes. Unfortunately, he won't, no matter the desperation.

Since 1967 that Lagos state was created, and even before then, at what point were Lagosians not given the platform to generate their own money, and at what point was the environment not livable? At what point did Lagos not ensure that you could make money?

Was it during Mobolaji-Johnson's time? Or during the Jakande era huh

How much tax burden did these two governors of Lagos place on the people in the past?

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”
