The immediate governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose was pictured moments ago at Nnamdi Azikiwe airport, Abuja, to board a flight to Lagos for his trial. He is expected to board MaxAir flight VM1643.

Fayose’s trial will most likely begin at a Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday, according to reports.

Akinwumi Ambode: What Really Changed

By Temitope Ajayi.

The popular saying is that 24 hours is very long in politics. The normal 24 hours make a full day but in politics it acquires some mysticism and mere mortals like us, they say, can’t comprehend it.

Again, didn’t the towering and magnificent Mahatma Ghandi admonish us that politics should not be devoid of morality?

For Governor Ambode, how did he suddenly turn within 2 months from the hero of Lagos APC stakeholders to the ‘filthy villain’ of today who must be destroyed? The ways of the world we may say!

Less than 3 months ago the same Lagos APC Mandate Group with their Governor’s Advisory Council and other ‘stakeholders’ who are now endorsing Mr. Sanwo-Olu, his main opponent for party ticket, took turns to endorse Ambode as a miracle worker who should continue for a second term in office and if the constitution can be amended for him, a 3rd term and possibly a 4th term should be good for him too.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the darling wife of the ‘Dear Leader’ of APC, led 3 APC senators to endorse Ambode in his office with pomp. Femi Gbajabiamila led APC House of Representatives members from Lagos to sing song of praises of Ambode for second term. Mr. Obasa also led a vote of confidence of Lagos State House of Assembly members to endorse Ambode for second term for his exemplary leadership.

The 57 Local Council Development Areas Chairmen also endorsed him for second term for his sagacity and other epithets they used to qualify him. Market women/men, traditional rulers and other groups within and outside APC endorsed him for second term. Even the main opposition PDP in Lagos appears to have conceded second term to him without challenge.

Again, what has changed that suddenly turned friends and endorsers of yesterday to mortal enemies of today.

Ambode’s traducers have not said he has not performed well as a governor of Lagos because that will be a very difficult tale to sell to the public. The Ambode sins are that he is not settling all the Baba and Mama Isales of APC well not that he is not doing at all. They said he is arrogant and vindictive and no concrete evidence except made-up stories. Some said he does not greet them well or prostrate enough. He didn’t attend their Owambes or spend enough time whenever he managed to show up. He kept Osun State Governor in his waiting room for 7 hours and other things that have no bearing on good governance in Lagos.

Okay, the unforgivable sin is he took away PSP operators from waste management, a grand design project for political settlement of APC grandees in Lagos and the state of aquatic splendor became the dirt headquarters of the world. I concede he failed on that for not being sensitive or lack of emotional intelligence. Do we have examples of leaders who got it right all the time? Do we have leaders anywhere in the world that never made wrong decisions they had to correct or drop altogether? I will love to know such infallible one.

In case many have forgotten, the PSP model was not an instant success too in Lagos. It was operationalized for almost 3 years before it became a success. The cart pushers resisted too initially when PSP was introduced and they sabotaged it same way PSP operators are resisting and sabotaging the Visionscape’s Cleaner Lagos Initiative. It is good a middle ground has been found between the PSP operators and Visionscape. I hold the view the Cleaner Lagos Initiative can be successful too with time the way PSP became successful with time.

Another sin of Ambode is civil servants do not like or love him. I asked if Lagos owes civil servants and pensioners months of unpaid salaries under Ambode. Nobody can answer me. I asked if Ambode stopped promotions of civil servants in Lagos, no answer still. I asked further if Ambode stopped trainings and travels – local and foreign for civil servants in Lagos, they said no. So on what basis do civil servants hate him?

Let’s call a spade a spade, larger majority of Civil Servants in Nigeria do not like any Governor or Head of MDAs that do not allow free reign of stealing. Civil Servants hate him is a euphemism for he is not allowing them to steal as much as they want. Ambode should be happy civil servants do not like him. He is in a good company with President Buhari who is also hated by the federal civil servants.

I have a reason to also hate Ambode too, but I do not elevate my personal interest above public interest. I got my Uncle to bid for 2 of the advertised Lagos 184 inner city roads last year. The tender was advertised twice, first in February 2017 and re-advertised in October 2017 because of vested interests within Lagos APC. My Uncle spent over Two million naira to prepare the tender twice. His company was shortlisted for two of the roads he bided for because he runs a successful construction firm. At the end Ambode still jettisoned the recommended and shortlisted contractors and awarded the contracts, due to unmitigated pressure on him, to the same APC Baba Isales and Iya Isales who are now vilifying him. I was livid and mad at Ambode. I called his aides and commissioners I know and abused him for deceiving over 1000 contractors who submitted tenders for the road projects.

Would that make me blind to his good works in Lagos? No way.

I am happy he has not dropped out of the race for APC ticket in Lagos despite enormous pressure on him to do so.

Akinwumi Ambode, if you must die tomorrow, fight and die like a warrior with your honour.

What a great eyes opening message for we Lagosians!
Thanks for this message most especially the last paragraph there; It's rather good to die the valiant way than to quit before the war comes.

Is it handwritten or typed one?
If handwritten, then it would have taken a day to complete a page.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is currently holding a meeting with prominent Yoruba leaders in what was believed to be part of moves to forge a common front with the Yoruba leaders ahead of the 2019 presidential election.

The meeting holding at the house of a prominent Yoruba leader and Afenifere chieftain, Pa Ayo Adebanjo in Lagos has in attendance other leaders of the pan - Yoruba socio- cultural organization.

They included Prof. Akin Mabogunje, Mrs. Awolowo Dosumu, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Mr. Supo Shonibare and Mr. Yinka Odumakin.

@NAIRATREND

Celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji Shares hilarious story of a Car she couldn’t afford back in 2007.

Read story below :-

I bought this car in 2007. It cost 700k back then but I made a down payment of 350k to pay the remaining 3 months later. After 3 months, I’d been able to pay only 100k of the remaining 350k & the car owner came to my house one day to seize the car. Lol. I can laugh now but it wasn’t funny back then. I remember my dad followed me to the man’s house to beg for him to return it to me and give me more time. The man refused. So I was carless for about 2 months but because I knew how important having a car was to my business (I was always running around), I knew it was top priority to raise the balance..
I had a modeling agency back then and so I started going to bother all the ad agencies owing me money.

I became a nuisance at their offices…lol. Before I’d wait for them to call and ask me to come collect my cheque but now, I wanted the money now now. Some managed to give me, some didn’t but I was finally able to raise the 250k balance & got my car back.
Fast forward to 5 years later. Between 2012 to 2018, I’ve probably bought about 15 cars for family, friends and staff. And none was 700k…lol.

Seeing this photo again brought back memories and reminded me of how God works. And how your life can change from not having enough to having so much, you can share with others.

You life can change for the better in an instant and that instant can last forever. Just remember to always hold on to God. He’s watching. He’s seeing your struggles and one day, He’ll hold your hands and never let go. .
.
God is holding my hand so much right now that I was able to solely finance lindaikeji.tv from advertising money made from another platform he blessed me with…lindaikejisblog. All the crazy equipment we have, studios, office, mansion, content, manpower etc was solely financed 100% by LIB.



God works in ways we sometimes don’t understand! He can make you wait. I waited for 14 years. He hasn’t forgotten you. Be patient. He listens. He’s watching. And He will eventually come to hold your hands when it’s your turn. And when he does, your life will never be the same. Just never stop believing in Him. Your time is near. I declare God’s enormous blessings into your life. Say amen!

Annnonymous:
Mumu. He is simply stating what necessitated the summoning of the IGP and why he's refusal to turn up is unwise

You got it wrong, what necessitated the invitation was the arrest of Dino, Saraki just indirectly diverted to the issue of killings in Nigeria.
Misplaced priority, why didn't them invite the IGP earlier before the Dino's saga. Yeye set of senates, the worst set of senate, Buhari would have achieved a lot if not for their frustration.

fallout87:
Yahaya is Ebira, so I strongly doubt his own people won't support him. This is a shame because he is useless and wicked.

To be honest he is making Dino famous. Dino should use this popularity to run for Governor and defeat Bello.

You mean popular?
Dino has lost this long ago, except the gullible ones like him still reckon with his comedy.
By the way let me clarify this by telling you that Yahaya really disappointed me and many other youths but Dino has come as a lesson for some of his dishonorable men in the Red Chamber.

Dino Melaye: Asari Dokubo reveals how Buhari, police allegedly tried to kill Senator (Watch Video)

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Asari-Dokubo.jpg

Asari Dokubo, ex-militant leader has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari has marked Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye for death.
Dokubo claimed that Buhari arranged with the police to push the lawmaker out of a moving van.

Recall that Melaye was alleged to have jumped off a moving police van in Abuja conveying him to Lokoja to face criminal charges.

However, the ex-militant leader, wondered how the lawmaker could have jumped off the van with security operatives present and the doors locked.

In a video he posted in his Facbook, Dokubo said, “People are happy with what is happening to Dino Melaye, saying he deserves it.

“Yes he does but if Melaye, who was one of the most vociferous and loquacious personalities in Buhari’s campaign that brought this evil on us can be treated this way by throwing him out of a moving vehicle, then it can happen to any one of us.

“Buhari wanted to kill Melaye by throwing him off a bus, if not, how was it possible for Melaye to have jumped off a Hiace bus with police officers.

“In a Hiace bus, there are two seats in the front and four rolls of seats behind. In one of the role Melaye was seating there were armed police men and it was locked, how did Melaye jumped off?

“Was there a transfiguration or a Dino Melaye’s rapture?

“You know he has being singing some religious songs, may be he was in the spirit and was raptured and only to find himself on the ground outside the bus.

“People don’t ask questions, Buhari thinks that because he is the captain of ‘Dundy United’ we all are fans and players of this his club.

“The conclusion we can get from all this was that Dino Melaye was marked to be killed.”

This one too is even looking for cheap popularity. By the way when did you become Dino's mouthpiece, has Dino for once denied being jumped out of the vehicle when his brother and his goons doubled cross the road.
When Dino heard that he will be spending the whole month and part of June in d prison he put an end to his drama and realized that it's a real business.
You better remain quiet over there with ur associates. Buhari decided to allow peace to reign in the ND if not you and Government for know where una go dey now. Useless mofo.

[quote author=Ebullience post=63118037]Senator Buriji Kashamu has rejected his suspension for a month by the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His suspension was announced early Saturday morning by the party ahead of the National Convention of the party.

In reaction to the suspension Kashamu issued the statement below:

” I thank the Almighty Allah who has brought me this far and made me a factor in the national politics of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


“The news of my purported suspension is coming on the heels of a pending appeal with a motion for injunction that has been properly entered and served on parties. This renders the purported suspension a nullity as it offends the principle of “lis pendens”. Therefore, I reject the purported suspension because it offends all known principles of justice and fair hearing.

“It should be noted however that the mere fact that the Caretaker Committee could resort to this last-minute action in its dying hours and on the day of our national convention shows clearly that the battle that I and other well-meaning leaders, elders and stakeholders have waged against impunity and illegality, and for the enthronement of democracy, due process and the rule of law really got to them.

“Makarfi and his cohorts, especially Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose think that they can intimidate and pocket every voice of dissent within the party. Yet, they are quick to accuse the Federal Government of stifling the opposition when they are the real dictators and tyrants.

“They arrogantly think that they can browbeat everyone into submission and buy over the conscience of our party leaders and delegates in continuation of their desperate bid to hold the party by the jugular in order to serve their selfish and egocentric ends.

“What is the essence of a multiparty politics and democracy if people cannot disagree to agree and ventilate their views? I dare say that any party or organisation that does not brook dissent and plurality of ideas and opinions is on its way to self-destruct and extinction.

“Dear delegates, distinguished party leaders and elders, I urge you to rise up and join in the struggle to rescue our party from the vice grip of these delinquents by electing a new and untainted leadership that will put an end to illegality, impunity, deceit and imposition. Today, let’s elect men and women of conscience who will truly reposition our party, restore democracy and make it the envy of all. Let’s show Nigerians that it is a new dawn and a new order in PDP.


“Finally, notwithstanding this purported suspension, I stand by my convictions in the struggle for the enthronement of genuine democracy, due process and respect for our own constitution. I remain strong and unbowed by their antics. Insha Allah, together, we shall outlive and outshine these agents of darkness.

“I wish all our respectable leaders, elders, contestants and delegates the best of luck.”

On a good day, I just followed the choice of words and grammatical presentation. This man sounds very knowledgeable.

I have been thinking and thinking over this kind thought for couple of days now. Does it mean that no other nija nigga again that can put on the shoe that baba 70 dropped? is it really an oversized one?
Kolapo has said it all, there were days when Idris was give Obasanjo sleepless nights. What really wrong!

You have said it all.
Is it a must for her to even talk. When there is nothing to say there must be nonsense to say and attach Buharis's name.
All I know and believe in is that this country shall rise and shine again.
