Okoye gave the public assurances that swift action would be taken to wrap up the investigation and prosecute the culprits.

contigiency: On this Jagaban issue, every 4 years people come on social media to yell and castigate the man over his political decisions. There are over 18m people in Lagos, over 1000 Politicians yet they cannot unseat him. Is this his fault? Are you expecting him to raise his legs and say "Hi guys come and Screw me over"?
He left the AD, formed the AC then ACN, Afenifere, Obasanjo could not unseat him. He lost two Deputy Governors, Kofo Bucknor, and Femi Pedro to the opposition party, Lost Obanikoro, a man he single- handedly made a Senator to PDP, he lost Jimi Agbaje, a close ally also to the PDP. They tried to unseat him, they failed. Obasanjo and GEJ tried, they didn't succeed. Lagos State had the Minister for Works, Ogunlewe, PDP BOT Chairman - Bode George, Minister for Defence - Obanikoro, Olusegun Aganga - Trade and Investment, but while these notable men go to bed at night, Jagaban stays awake scheming and planning his next move at Bourdillon, rallying the grassroots and then he comes with either the stick or the Carrot. Obanikoro his sworn enemy is back, Pedro is back, Salvador former PDP Chairman is back to his Camp.
He did not put a gun to anybody's head to wine and dine with him. Why can't they form an alliance to finish him off? We have a Choice not to associate with him, don't we?
He has successfully built a battalion of loyalists from 1999 till date. From Fashola to the Councilor in the smallest Ward in Lagos. Fashola, Osinbajo, Fowler, Lai Mohammed, Ben Akabueze, Ojudu, Ade Ipaye, Rauf Aregbesola, Hamzat, GOS, Gbajabiamila, Faleke, Yayi, Ashafa, Opeifa, Tunji Bello, Leke Pitan, Jide Idris, Dele Alake, Mamora and a whole lot of other young brilliant minds. For every one person he empowered, he got thousands more in return. He identifies the best and uses them to his advantage.
Can Bode George or Ogunlewe roll out a list comparable to Tinubu's list? Why haven't they been able to create a formidable opposition to kick him out? They had the federal might for 16 years to their advantage.
To be honest, is he at fault? What do we expect him to do? Crawl under his Duvet at Bourdillon or watch African Magic? Why can't other Politicians form a Consensus?
He is the Lion of Bourdillon and when he roars, his Lionesses and Cubs will respond. Unless a stronger pride emerges, he will continue to rule this jungle. It is the law of nature, sentiments don't matter. He is already Scheming for 2023, 4 years ahead of these Docile Politicians.
Meanwhile, there is still room to challenge him, please go ahead and vote against his Aspiration if you feel aggrieved.
Except from: BabaBabajide Kolade-otitoju.
Their nature! they are needless too Got 4 ahead of my post , they wont know they ned psychologist by now. #WORLD MENTAL DAY

lexylaw40: Emefiele: Politicians, business moguls named as investigators uncover over N7 trillion fraud Photo of Goodness Adaoyiche Goodness AdaoyicheSeptember 13, 2023 2 minutes read
There are strong indications that top politicians and business moguls will be invited for questioning by the Jim Obazee-led team of special investigators mandated to probe activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and related entities under Godwin Emefiele.
Politics Nigeria reported that Kingsley Obiora and Aisha Ahmad, both deputy CBN governors, were recently interrogated by the Department of State Security (DSS) in connection with their roles in the affairs of the bank during Emefiele’s nine-year stint.
Fresh updates from multiple sources suggest that the team is currently analysing documents, memos and oral confessions that could lead to more arrests in the coming days.
There are indications that several foreign banks would be contacted in the course of the fast-expanding investigation.
Already, there are rising apprehensions in the offices of the regulator across the country as some directors “who must have played active roles in approving some of the deals” are being interrogated.
According to TheGuardian, the investigation is already closing in on some of the political and business associates of President Bola Tinubu.
Names of top politicians and business moguls are already being mentioned as possible culprits in the emerging saga, and there are fears the President may be forced to succumb to their demands.
Obazee is said to have gathered enough dossiers of sleazes that could send dozens to jail if prosecution is allowed to commence and sail through.
According to different sources, disbursements through different intervention programmes of the CBN and foreign exchange management are central to the investigation.
So far, the team is said to have uncovered over N7 trillion frauds linked to the embattled CBN boss. Many bank chiefs are also said to have been interrogated in connection with their roles in some of the transactions.
“The amount involved could be much more, but so far not less than N7 trillion has been uncovered. It is an ongoing exercise. Daily, more facts are being uncovered in the mind boggling crimes committed by individuals saddled with the responsibility of managing the national economy,” a source said.
Another source privy to the intense pressure the investigators have faced, said those who are directly involved in the matter are “ready to buy anybody” considering their desperation to get off the hook.
Cases of evidence destruction within and outside the CBN offices, starting from when Emefiele was arrested, have also been reported.
This is said to have slowed down some of the ongoing investigations and efforts to establish clearly how some of the frauds were perpetrated.
Anxiety over the extent of the investigation is spreading fast in the financial space as searchlight beans on “conspirators”.
“In the coming weeks, heads will roll across the board. The level of rot seen in the system could not have been perpetrated by one man. If that is the case, those who work with him could not have been angels. I don’t know the scale of sanction that will follow but I can tell you that a lot of people will not go unpunished,” the source added.

bionixs: is he also the reason your Naira went to the dogs ? Is the color change now every reason for all your misfortune. If you keep leaving buhari out of this , you will never end well
unfortunately for YOU,TRUTH begins with Acceptance. ur end is Near!
bionixs: As Emefiele that i am. You are so duped that they will still let him off the hook, while you keep waiting in hunger.
Last time I visited, it was only freedom of movement they are denied . They are living proMAX MAX MAX of you dream behind the bars

PrinceOfLagos: This was when naira Marley sent thugs to attack mohbad for leaving the Malian records.
Mohbad was brutally beating and that didn't stop there. He's been severally attacked by Marley goons both in Nigeria and London and mohbad has to voice out to all Nigerians that if he die, Naira Marley should be held responsible.
Daddy freeze goes live with samklef as he finally shares Mohbad cause of death relating to what banky w did to wizkid as wizkid overcame death after he threatened banky w back when he came with his boys.
Burna Shocked after finding out Mohbad's death in live video as he got confused after knowing imole is Mohbad.
FSU: I met a Nigerian couple today. As soon as I engaged them I felt something was different with the wife. I asked where they were originally from in NG. The man replied with "Imo", and the wife with "Taraba". I almost screamed in shock. That was my first time ever of seeing or talking to anyone from Taraba.
The diversity of NG is truly amazing and worthy of appreciation. Only if the evil politicians and their equally evil hangers-on can be retired.
Which brings me to the question of the day. How many states of NG have you physically interacted with people from?
I have been to and interacted with people from all 17 southern states, and with people from Kogi, Kwara, Adamawa (just one person😀😀😀), Jigawa, Kano, Bornu, Niger, and Kaduna. I have been to Abuja but never interacted with a native, as also with people from the remaining 11 northern states. I'm just imagining how somebody from Zamfara thinks, talks, or look like.
God bless Nigeria minus the evil politicians and their brainwashed supporters.
them go soon drag you. Children of Hate They believe in ONE messiah that want to save only, when is in power
