Please read and digest: tinubu is the number one landlord in Lagos and has turned Lagos land worth trillions of naira into his personal possession to be used freely or given away unaccounted for. Even after he left office, tinubu still continues to steal Lagos land under the watch of fashola. He gives out Lagos land to curry political favours and still occasional sign certificate of occupancy even as ex governor and backdating them to period he was in office. These brazen acts of corruption are with the active collaboration of select few public officers who are obscenely wealthy at the expense of Lagos tax payers. Most notable are Gbenga Ashafa-formerly executive secretary and now Permanent Secretary, land’s Bureau since 2001; Mrs Awofisayo-formerly Permanent Secretary and now Special Adviser, New Town Development Authority (NTDA), and a relation of Bola tinubu from Iragbiji, Osun state who has been in charge of NTDA since 1999; Hakeem Muri-Okunola-PA to former Gov tinubu and now Executive Secretary, land’s Bureau; Mrs Nike Animashaun-Director, land Services and known to be close to Bola tinubu and Tunji Olowolafe. These people are arguably the wealthiest unelected public servants ever in the history of Lagos state. They are major wheelers and dealers of prime land. We mentioned in our earlier publication that the land’s Bureau at Alausa stinks of corruption.

We catalogue below a few brazen acts of stealing and corruption committed by tinubu and aided by fashola on the good tax payers of LagosTinubu’s greed and primitive acquisition tendency knows no bound. In fact, it is believed that Lagos land personally converted by him is worth over N500 billion and growing because he hasn’t stopped.
A few of them are listed below:
1. 4 Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi. A 5 bedroom detached house on 1 acre of land which was a Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 now belongs to Bola tinubu. The C of O was signed and released to him by fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office. The property is valued at N450million

2. tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc guest house. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public fund to rebuild and renovate it. Recently, the Lagos state government bought the property and paid undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600million

3. The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450million purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after he left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before he left office.

4. The 250 hectare land valued at about N35billion strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road which was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa local government was stolen by tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd- a company owned by Deji and Wale tinubu to develop as Royal Garden housing estate at the expense of the tax payers of Lagos

5. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki LG and given to LCC which is part owned by tinubu and fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd(ARM) as ADIVA project

6. The prime land of 157 Hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki LG and given to Ibukun Fakeye-his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. fashola has since released additional funding for this project which is not owned by the state government.

7. The 14 Hectares Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola tinubu.

8. While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos state secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by tinubu aided by fashola

9. Also the choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.

10. tinubu and fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front-Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices: • The 3.8hectares of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI(beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion• The Fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for low cost housing scheme valued at N5billion • The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million

11. tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete Project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of C & C and Hitech Construction Ltd at ridiculously low price at the expense of the tax payers of Lagos.

12. tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.

13. It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Gov fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex.

14. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, VI and GRA Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of tinubu, fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or are unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the sky rocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.

15. tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarter of Television Continental (TVC) which is owned by him is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.

16. tinubu single handedly sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, VI which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.

17. Eludoyin, fronting for tinubu built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area

18. tinubu’s wife Remi tinubu built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko off the Lekki-Epe express road with Lagos state funds and has now converted it to personal use

19. tinubu also owns the Fara park estate and the Beach wood estate both in Lekki

20. The Critical care unit at the LASUTH in Ikeja built and equipped with state funds is now owned personally by tinubu. He has put one Dr Sikiru tinubu (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the state govt for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.

21. Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Gov tinubu and Gov fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from year 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa and Mrs Awofisayo are the conduit through which these acts are being perpetuated. Both are also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own

22. Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to tinubu and fashola for ‘job well done’ or for being privy to sensitive informationa) Dele Alake, former commissioner for Information and Strategy was sold a whole house on Alexander road, ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a giveaway price. (b) Rauf Aregbesola, AC Osun State governorship candidate and former commissioner and Muiz Banire, still a serving commissioner got detached houses at Ladoke Akintola st, GRA Ikeja for the “good job” while serving under tinubu. (c) Yemi Cardoso and Wale Edun both former commissioners were sold houses on Iru close, and other location in old Ikoyi at giveaway prices by tinubu. The list is endless.

23. Gov fashola in the wake of the petition against him presented by “The True Face of Lagos” to the House of Assembly has succeeded in buying his way out of trouble temporarily by bribing each of the 40 members with cash and prime state land at Abijo GRA off Lekki-Epe road. In addition, he bought a N40million bullet proof jeep for the speaker in a desperate bid to ward off investigation by the assemblyThese corrupt acts have deprived the tax payers of Lagos billions in revenue which could have been used for public projects. Indeed, the prime land stolen from the Lekki axis is enough to build the Lekki-Epe road without burdening residents and other tax payers with a 30 year concessioned toll road, We know that people will say why don’t you take this matter to EFCC? Well the EFCC appears compromised on matters concerning tinubu. If not, how come he has not been charged to court despite several petitions against him and in spite of Nuhu Ribadu’s boastful claims that he had enough evidence to nail him. Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi once fought hard to get the Supreme Court to rule that that the Police could investigate tinubu for certificate forgery and perjury and prosecute him after he leaves office. He left office 3 years ago and lost his immunity but where is the Nigeria Police? But we know that eventually, his cup will run over and he will be brought to justice. and why is there a conspiracy of silence by those known to be dogged fighters of corruption? Why are they watching as both men seems to be getting away with corruption? We hope Lagosians will wake up and fight for their rights. The elites should speak out now and force the EFCC to take action. We once again call on the elders of Lagos, the elites at the Lagos Island Club, Ikoyi Club, Lawn Tennis Club, Yoruba Tennis Club, Ikeja Country Club, Eko Club, Metropolitan Club, The Boat Club, Apapa Club, etc. We also call on the religious leaders of both faith, prominent traditional rulers, the media, opinion molders and members of civil society to speak out Let us join hands in the collective effort to call on the anti-corruption agencies, and in particular the EFCC, to act now and move into the land’s Bureau and the State’s Treasury Office at Alausa to conduct a thorough investigation on land matters from year 2000 to date. We assure the public that if this is done transparently, it might be possible to recover trillions of naira stolen from the tax payers of Lagos.

Shut up you swine!!
My main moniker is not serving a ban and I am not flouting any rule. Kindly stop quoting me before I unleash my venom on you this first day of december.

Idiotta!!

ola6:
I hate APC because of the hypocrisy! Today, OBJ is APC's consultant. The hypocrisy is disgusting! Tinubu has sold us for his family's personal wealth. I will not be a part of that. Never voted for PDP but I will now.

BTW, I only saw it, I did not participate. Don't call me a thug. Thank you.

redcliff:
You are the biggest liar and hypocrite on this thread and an attention seeking op.. apc is loved by the majority in lagos. If not for any reason but for fashola's sake.. i live in surulere and i can tell you that..

JackBaueress1:
you should have known that a long time ago. Don't be shocked if Xeun lands you a ban for your comment. This is how he goes around banning everyone with impunity who tells him the truth about using nairaland to promote partisan politics and propaganda against APC

Obiagelli:
Seun you and your mods thought it wish to bring this to the front page? This is the second time you are promoting this violent behaviour, first it was pictures from aba. Continu

Ipledge:
Well it's not new some PDP thugs were arrested in osun some months ago doing bad things in APC name

ProfCorruption:
1. There is not a single proof the pictures were taken in Lagos. For all I care, it could be picture of Enugu, Aba, Minna or somewhere in South South. There is nothing in that picture that suggests even remotely that it was taken in Lagos. It's therefore a promotion of falsehood to make such bold assertion without a shred of evidence. We know Nairaland is Pro-establishment but promoting undiluted lies is a new low.

2. Look at the pictures again and ask yourself: where are the youth? There was just a single individual and the caption was generalized? That hints of prejudice against APC and it was done in bad faith.

3.Dropping the name of Tinubu as against promoting PDP is idiotic. If Tinubu is a thief, he should be in prison. Why is it that the man who has turned Lagos into a personal "ATM" is not standing trial? Is Tinubu controlling the police, the EFCC, the military, the judiciary?

Dominionng:
Ogbeni, what's your point with all these your ranting, you'd change godfatherism from Tinunu to Bode George? The last time I checked which is a couple of seconds ago, watching annoying Nollywood movie is better that seeing P0rn!

jaymichael:
Oby, remember I said in one of your thread that "unfounded unproven sometimes ridiculously false allegations are presented as a statement of fact in other to misinform and create confusion, with a view to paint the APC in a bad light".
STATEMENTS OF FACT
APC is different from PDP
APC is better than PDP
Lagos of now is far better than the lagos of pre APC rule. APC took over a dilapidated Lagos State and the TRANSFORMATION is there for all to see, and is still improving.
Can we say the same for PDP rule? truthfully?

mogentle:
Nairaland Mods and owners are truly promoting violence. Why did they put this inglorious, unsubstantiated, defaming,trouble inciting pictures which can spark up trouble across the whole country on front page. This is a commendable act which pitch Nairaland as a no peace seeking forum. What will you gain if because of this, violence begins in Ogun, Osun, Oyo, East and up North? So, a single person can just gather some posters infront of his house, burn them and put the pictures on Nairaland and make front page?So bad for owner and the mod.

JackBaueress1:
when Obiagelli opened a thread saying that Nairaland is being used by the owner to turn Nigerians against APC,she wasn't wrong after all. Now we can see for ourselves how Xeun and his supermods are using Nairaland to promote hatred amongst Nigerians.

God dey sha!!

Cybermugu1:
PROUDLY Nairaland

This happened in Shitta btw. We hate APC in Lagos with a passion!

I expect to be banned, but the truth is that this topic on FP can spark violence among parties across the country.You need to remove such from front page. It is violence inciting. Let's promote peace not violence 'cos of website patronage. Truth will live,always.
