Governor Rotimi Chibuke Amaechi…You will fail in your attempt to pit Kalabari against Ikwere.

When Rotimi Chibuke Amaechi came to power through the instrumentality of Seven Supreme Court judges, who wickedly deprived the people of Rivers state of their constitutional right of choice, and surreptitiously imposed Chibuke Rotimi Amaechi on them- a man who didn’t solicit for their votes, and who they never voted for; no one was surprised as this travesty of justice and abuse of justice is only possible in this contraption called Nigeria.

Immediately Rotimi Amaechi assumed office, he declared war on the Okrika and Kalabari Ijaws, in his bid to rid Port Harcourt of Ijaw presence. His first anti-Ijaw affront was the demolition of the Waterfront Settlement. The Okrikas fought and kicked against it while we the Kalabari didn’t do any tangible thing to confront him,especially the Abonnema Wharf which from time immemorial, have been home to Kalabari people and the gate way to Bakana, old Bakana, Abonnema, Buguma etc

If Amaechi has gone gaga there must be elders in his community, amongst his hangers-on and praise-singers, to guide, enlighten and re-direct him – there is even a psychiatric home in nearby Rumu-Igbo that can cure Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi of his annoying dementia and bring him back to sanity.

This is not the time to seat on our beds and chatter like women, or seat on the fence. This is a call to show our humane Kalabariness and tell Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi that enough is enough! We must all come out and march to Abonnema Wharf with our Ikwere brothers and sisters, and pull down Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi’s wall of Jericho.

Akumafiete!

TINUBU, FASHOLA ENDORSE ASTUTE COMMISSIONER FOR LAGOS 2015.

Other aspirants also favoured in the race to the Lagos House, Ikeja, include former Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, Senate Minority Whip, Ganiyu Solomon, and former Commissioner for Health, Lekan Pitan.
Lagos State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, has emerged as front-runner in the race for the next Governor of Lagos State.

He stands a high chance of carrying the flag of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2015 governorship election.

Daily Independent exclusively gathered that Hamzat is highly favoured and on top of a list of five aspirants warming up to become the 14th Governor of the state when the tenure of Babatunde Fashola ends in May 2015.

Other aspirants also favoured in the race to the Lagos House, Ikeja, include former Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, Senate Minority Whip, Ganiyu Solomon, and former Commissioner for Health, Lekan Pitan.

A source close to the top echelons of the ACN told Daily Independent that Hamzat is a favourite to step into Fashola’s shoes and that he implicitly has the nod of his boss, Fashola.

The source said: “Dr. Hamzat is highly favoured by both Fashola and our National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; he is the best bet among others eyeing the seat of power in Lagos and this is because he has worked with Fashola in the last six years and knows the terrain very well.”

Hamzat was former Commissioner for Science and Technology during the tenure of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Governor for four years and retained the position during the first term of Fashola’s tenure.
His loyalty to the party and his bosses earned him a higher calling as Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure at the commencement of the second term of Fashola in May 2011, a position he holds till date.

Hamzat is also the third son of Oba Mufutau Olatunji Hamzat, ‘Olu’ of Afowowa, who is also the Lagos West Senatorial District leader of the ACN.

Hamzat’s chances, the source said, are buoyed by the fact that, “Like Fashola he (Hamzat) is not much of a politician, neither does he engage in group alliance of any sort that could be a distraction.
The source also dismissed fears that Hamzat’s chances could be marred by the fact that he’s not an indigene of Lagos State.

“Yes, he might be from Ogun State but his father is a well respected ACN chieftain and a former legislator and commissioner in the Second Republic in Lagos State. His mother is a Lagosian, that should not be much of a hindrance to his chances,” the source added.
Also in contention for the plum job is Banire.

Banire, is a former Commissioner for Environment, who enjoyed a four-year spell each under Tinubu and Fashola respectively, and is currently the National Legal Adviser of the ACN.

Speaker of the House of Assembly, Ikuforiji, who has always been in the picture of succeeding Fashola, might have been played out with the ongoing case of money laundering leveled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The source added: “Ikuforiji is not new to the governorship race, the party leaders trust him and he is a Tinubu loyalist to the core, but the money laundering allegation does not do his chances any good.
“It is a smear on his name and I can’t see how the party will cope with all these cases hanging on his neck. It would be a tough one convincing Lagosians otherwise.”

Senate Minority Whip, Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon, may have done his governorship ambition no good when he recently went to press with his intention to succeed Fashola, which made many of the leaders in state uncomfortable.

Former Commissioner for Health and Education in Lagos, Lekan Pitan, the source said, is also a strong candidate who might be fancied as a standby choice should Hamzat, for any reason, opt out of the race.

“Pitan is a trusted associate as well as a protégée of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is intelligent, and has paid his dues, but his undoing might be that he has not been in the scheme of things recently and the party leaders may not find it comfortable giving him the nod,” one source added.

OSUN GOV AREGBESOLA SLAPS DEPUTY?

Aregbesola denies slapping deputy 

Is there a cover up? Smell any rat or rabbit? Remember Tinubu Bucknor Imbroglio! Hmmmm!!
Please follow us on twitter @LamzatBlog for updates and global news alerts.



Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has denied ever slapping his deputy, Mrs. Grace Tomori, stressing that the rumor was aimed at causing disaffection capable of destabilising the state. The governor said a cordial relationship exists between the two of them.

He added that “I have never beaten anybody in my life. In fact, I don’t beat my children, let alone beating any other person. More so, the Deputy Governor is older than me, so how do I beat an elderly person.”

Governor Aregbesola, who spoke during a seven hour live programme tagged ‘Ogbeni till day break,’ weekend, maintained: “I don’t have any quarrel with my Deputy, and I can’t have any with her because I intentionally chose her and no one choose her for me.

“I think I can work with her and that is why I chose her. So, no differences exist between us.

The deputy governor stressed that a cordial relationship exists between her and the governor,, adding that she would remain loyal to the governor. She was also at the occasion and confirmed that no such incident happened.

Please let us know if you witness anything!!

YOU CANT PROBE TINUBU'S CERTIFICATES AGAIN! FINAL WORD!!

Justice Saliu Saidu, in a ruling, dismissed the application on the grounds that the applicant failed to satisfy the mandatory requirement that such application must be filed within three months of the alleged fraudulent action was detected.


 

A Federal High Court, Lagos on Tuesday dismissed an application seeking an order to direct Inspector  General of Police to investigate the Action Congress of Nigeria’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu, for false declaration of certificate.

Dr. Adegbola Dominic, a medical doctor, had filed the application for judicial review, to open the allegation of false declaration of certificate levelled against Tinubu by the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN).

Justice Saliu Saidu, in a ruling, dismissed the application on the grounds that the applicant failed to satisfy the mandatory requirement that such application must be filed within three months of the alleged fraudulent action was detected.

Saidu ruled that the application did not meet the requirements as stipulated in Order 34 Rule 4 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rule, the statue upon which the application was filed.

He said the applicant “went to sleep” since 2007 when the  immunity clause in the constitution could no longer shield Tinubu.

According to him, the applicant suddenly came up to exercise his rights six years after the matter is statue barred. “There is need to comply with stipulated rules of the court.  This matter is grossly out of time and prayer sought cannot be granted,” the judge held.

The applicant had sought for the court order mandating/directing the Inspector General of Police to constitute a panel of the Nigeria Police Force to re-open the case, commence or take over and conclude the investigation of the criminal complaint.
