  • Lagos Assembly fails to pass 2019 budget

    Against all expectations, the Lagos state House of Assembly failed to pass the 2019 budget of the state at plenary on Friday.

    The House only took the presentation of the report of the Appropriation committee as contained in its order paper for Friday sitting.

    Observers of the Assembly had concluded when they saw the order paper for the day’s sitting that the budget would be passed on Friday as is almost always the case.

    The Chairman of the Appropriation committee, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu presented the voluminous report at plenary and even had to skip some parts of the report because of its huge volume.

    After his presentation, Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Sanai Agunbiade said because of the volume of the report and it’s technicality the House would have to a lot another day for the comprehensive debate of the report.

    It is after the debate of the report and necessary amendments that the third reading of the Bill will be taken before its passage.

    Meanwhile if the recommendations of the Appropriation committee are adopted by the House it means the budget size will increase from the original N852.317b to N874.96b; that is a difference of about N22.541b from the figure presented to the House by the governor in February.

    Although the House did not mention the allotted day to debate the report it however adjoined sitting till Monday.

    For now Lagosians still have to wait for year 2019 budget to be passed almost five months into the new financial year which has never happened in the history of the state at least since the commencement of the current democratic dispensation.

  • Lawmaker advises public servants to be focused

    A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Olusegun Olulade has advised public office holders and those who find themselves in public office to be focused and affect lives before they leave their offices.

    Olulade, popularly known as ‘Eleniyan’ added that public office holders should be conscious of the fact that they would leave the office they are occupying one day.

    The lawmaker who will not be part of the 9th Assembly represents Epe 2 constituency at the Lagos State House of Assembly was speaking at a dinner he organized for members of the Lagos State House of Assembly Correspondents Association (LAHACA) at DRemembrant Hotel, Alausa Ikeja..

    The lawmaker pointed out that despite the fact that former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was no longer in office he is still relevant because he had invested in people.

    “Title would not take you far, what will take you far is your contribution and service to the people.

    “To be in government is not just about being called a lawmaker, Governor or President, one day, you will leave office.

    “If you want to amass wealth, and you don’t want to help people what will you do with the money. Everything you say about me I will keep it up. I have learnt from you.

    “I want to thank every one of you and I want to assure you that I will not change. Feel free to see me anytime you want in or outside office. I do not have a place to hide, this is who I am and this is what I would continue to be,” he said.

    Olulade, who had served as the Chairman of the House Committe on Information and later House Committee on Health, revealed that he would continue with his ‘Eleniyan Care Foundation,’ to take care of people.

    He added that he was still very young, and that he was available as their next door neighbour.

    “I still have a lot to offer the people of Lagos and Nigeria. There is another office that is very powerful that I would be occupying from June 8, 2019.

    “I will use it to affect more lives and to serve humanity. I would leave everything to God that has helped me to come thus far and I know He would not abandon me.

    “I will make myself available to you so that if there is anything we can do together I will be there for you.

    “I am still very young and I still have a lot to offer the people by the grace of God,  what I pray for is good health, long life and prosperity,” he stated.

    Olulade went down memory lane and recalled that he got into the House without knowing that he would be made the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Security, Strategy and Publicity then.

    “After I became the Chairman of the Information Committee I invited the then Chairman of LAHACA and others to become my friend. When there were issues over stories that could destroy the image of the House then, I would meet with members of LAHACA.

    “We later held a meeting in your office and since then I became a part of LAHACA. If there is a group I would miss as I am leaving the Lagos State House of Assembly, it is LAHACA.”

    He enjoined other people to see the media as their friends, saying that no matter what anyone did, if the media didn’t report it, the person would be doing himself a disservice.

    “I want to appreciate you for everything you have done. You projected me and the Assembly in a way that has made people to conclude that we are ‘Above The Common Standard of Excellence’ in Lagos Assembly

    “I want to thank you on behalf of all the members of staff of the assembly and on behalf of the two speakers that I have worked with including Rt. Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji and Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.,” he said.

    Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman of LAHACA, Mr. Akinboye Akintola said that Hon. Olusegun Olulade had always been a person that was close to the media.

    Akintola stated that as the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Olulade facilitated a good relationship with the leadership of the Assembly and the media.

    He said that the lawmaker initiated the dinner programme with the media without any prompting.

    “We have to acknowledge what Eleniyan did as the Chairman of the House Committee on Health.

    “I just want to advise him to continue with what he is doing. That brand; Eleniyan will remain with us until you get to where you want to go,” he said.

     

  • Lawmaker to Sanwo-Olu: consult widely before forming cabinet

    A Lagos lawmaker, Prince Bisi Yusuff on Saturday urged the state Governor-elect, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu to consult adequately before forming his cabinet in order to get it right from the start.

    Yusuff, a third-term member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Alimosho Constituency I, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

    According to the former two-term Ipaja-Ayobo Chairman, the incoming governor should not do anything alone if he wants to succeed.

    “Sanwo-Olu should not do it alone, he should consult with leaders widely that is my own candid opinion and I would not shy away from saying that.

    “He should not arrogate the selective power to himself alone. It is when you do that, that people view it as a team work and they would have confidence in him.”

    He said that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and leader of the party in the state would never do anything alone without due diligence in consulting with the relevant stakeholders.

    “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not even do that to anybody if you know him like I do; the “Jagaban of Borgu” would never select alone.

    “He (Tinubu) would ensure that he consulted with every leader in each local government before concluding or coming up with the list.

    “The era of saying somebody is imported from somewhere has gone,” Yusuff, Chairman, House Committee on Public Accounts (Local) said.

    According to him, Tinubu has trained thousands of his foot soldiers in Lagos, in other parts of Nigeria and even outside the shores of Nigeria on democratic norms.

  • Asiwaju: The man and his eternal vision

    Lagos State House of Assembly member Olumuyiwa Wahab Jimoh, (Apapa Constituency II), extols the virtues of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who clocks 67 today.

    Every epoch in every nation throws up its own heroes. Men and women who in the midst of adversity and uncertainty saw clearly within the mist a vision of a glorious future and with unusual courage and uncommon determination pursued its actualisation. These are men and women who have impacted positively the lives of the people within their jurisdiction and who have become change agents that altered the course of the society at a particular point in time; creating and moulding a nation that has essentially their footprints embedded in all of its strata.

    One of the men in Nigeria today who fits into this mould is His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu – the Jagaban Borgu. A man who has humbly and practically turned not just the politics of SouthWest Nigeria into a robust and vibrant enterprise that has seen the enthronement of very impactful governance models across its states but the Politics of Nigeria as a nation. Here is a man that understands what the people crave and yearn for and is able to mobilise the nation’s politics to meet these expectations.

    After all what is Politics all about if not for the mobilisation and allocation of a nation’s resources to satisfy the interests and desires of the citizens? This is where the Asiwaju has excelled more than his contemporaries. He understands the objectives of Politics which is that of acquiring political power to satisfy the interest of the majority. His brand of politics therefore captures the true undiluted and sanguine reason for the noble business of politics.

    As this living legend turns 67 on the 29th day of March, 2019, we believe that he is worthy of our celebrations. A man who has shaped the lives of many young men and have given them the needed opportunity to participate effectively in the nation’s political space, a time like this calls for the doffing of hats and clinking of glasses in honour of the day that saw his glorious entrance into mother earth.

    We are truly blessed and are sincerely proud to be part of the great heritage which he has created and is expanding in our dear nation. We join millions of Nigerians all over the country to wish the Asiwaju a happy birthday and congratulate him as he thanks the almighty Allah who has kept and preserved him to see this day. We are more grateful to the Almighty Allah for this celebration because this is one life that is being lived for the benefit of humanity thus preserving him is akin to preserving humanity and giving hope to the masses and peoples of Nigeria.

    When God has given a man a task as that which the Asiwaju seem to have been assigned, he equips him, guards and guides every of his footsteps as long as he keeps on the path of that divine mission. Tinubu everyday walks without wavering that divine path. That is daily being demonstrated in the life of this our modern day hero who has not put his foot wrong in most of his engagements though ordinary mortals may not see it and would chose to pass snide remarks but posterity has most of the times proven him right. We dare say that he is a man on a mission and cannot be easily discouraged until his objectives are accomplished.

    It is with this in mind that we believe that God being involved in his pursuit for a better Nigeria, any man or group that stands against him is contending with the mighty powers of the almighty God who has continued guarding him jealously. Who can battle with the one who God has chosen and sent on a mission? Any man that pretends to stand against this mission has already lost the battle before it began as would have been seen all over the landscape.

    Heroes are visionaries. Inherent in visionaries is an unimaginable quantum of light which they carry and radiate. They spread their light and cause it to expand beyond the confines of their immediate environment as the light shines brighter and brighter. Unfortunately for mankind, men with these qualities are rare and emerge once in a while. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of such rare breeds and we are truly blessed as a people and as a nation to have him at this time.

    Only men of vision can explode and channel their lights creatively the way Asiwaju has done in the Nigerian and global space. From his Lagos state; standing alone, he was able to spread the light to other South West states with his Progressive politics and practical ideology built on the wings of the present and future context. He has grown these precepts into a national movement despite the challenges and obstacles expectedly mounted by forces of retrogression. The cries of liberty have enveloped our land as the agents of light which he stands as its chief apostle grapple with the remaining vestiges of darkness across the landscape.

    He never allowed the pursuit of mundane and filthy lucre to distract him and with unwavering determination; he has focused on the task of building a nation that would deliver the best possible benefit to the majority of Nigerians no matter where they come from. He was offered opportunities to dump his commitment to the people. Carrots were dangled before him to waver on his pristine ideals. Mouth-watering deals were placed before him. He rejected them all for the sake of the people of Nigeria sacrificing his personal ambitions and comfort so that justice, equity and fairness will be enthroned in our beloved nation.

    The triumph of the Progressives in the just concluded general elections is the triumph of JAGABANISM. It is the triumph of his ideals and ethos. It is the triumph of patience and longsuffering over short termism and indecent pursuit of personal interests over that of the nation. It is the victory of the good over the bad and once again demonstrates the essence and solidity of vision which Senator Tinubu carries.  We would have said that the success approximates to a canonisation of the man – Tinubu but that would be trying to play God, we would not be wrong however if we say emphatically that the philosophy that drives him has shown so much resilience and effectiveness catapulting him in the process into sainthood amongst not just politicians but also political thinkers.

    In all these, this great leader has remained humble, available and easily accessible. His doors are always wide open to his people and whosoever seeks his audience. He has thus provided his usual wise counsels to us, guided our thoughts and actions making us to see what we may not have seen if we had acted alone. Fortunately, he is open to suggestions and quickly grasps new lines of thoughts and soaks them in like a patched ground hungrily taking in water. That is the stuff with which great leaders are made – avid learners and teachers all moulded into one!.

    At 67 Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains one of the brightest spots of politics in Nigeria radiating a strong hope of a greater future for the Nigerian project. His forthrightness, his integrity and his courage are unprecedented even in the midst of great opposition. We found that he seem to be made stronger in the midst of very stiff opposition. Where others would have given up, he showed enormous confidence and verve that allows him have transcendence. We all have learnt this from him and we are still learning every day from his fountain of wisdom. Since we are not tired of drinking from this pool, we pray our good God to preserve him more so that we can continue enjoying the nourishment which he has provided for the youth and the emerging members of the political class.

    This truly offers all of us both as individuals and as a nation a great opportunity to re-examine our politics. The need to align our actions within the space of contestation for political power ought to be critically reassessed given what the Asiwaju stands for. The need to make public offices deliver the utmost good to the majority has become imperative. The need to create frameworks that would make governance answerable to the people and more accountable to their yearnings and aspirations has become central. This aligns with the celebrant’s belief that political office holders and all processes leading to it, during and after it should be subject to the Sovereign – the masses and people.

    When this is done, our celebration of this icon and hero of our nation would then be more functional and meaningful. He would prefer that we spend time creating conversations that would make the nation better and deferring to that, it behoves us to seek the enthronement of a political structure that would enable the building of a nation that is progressive and caters to the needs of the majority while protecting the rights of the minority. The need for an inclusive politics which the Jagaban champions; has become critical especially arising out of the just concluded elections.

    We therefore pray the good lord to keep him in good health preserving him so that his potentials as a national monument would touch every life and the nation positively. He remains a man created and preserved for Nigeria at this moment. Our prayer is Long life and good health for Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

    Our hands are joined with his numerous well-wishers the world over especially his protégés direct or indirect to call upon him to see in this celebration the yearnings, desires and hunger of the people for greater and more creative leadership. We urge His Excellency to accept this burden of leadership which is once again being renewed by his constituents through these celebrations.

    May BAT continue basking in the goodwill of God and may his light continue shinning for all to see and follow! We urge all Nigerians from across all the divides of our nation to join us as we bridge the primordial gaps and transcend the Shibboleths that have held us down as a nation by lifting up Senator Tinubu as that patriotic symbol that would lead our nation to its place in the sun.

    May the Asiwaju live long! May the Jagaban live long!! May Nigeria march to the Next Level!!!

  • My plan for my constituents, by Idimogu

    The member representing Oshodi/Isolo State Constituency 11 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Jude Emeka Idimogu, has said he will ensure that members of his constituency will experience more dividends of democracy if reelected in the governorship and state houses of assembly election slated for Saturday.

    Idimogu spoke while addressing his supporters at the Ejigbo Mini-stadium in Ejigbo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State on Monday.

    Expressing his delight over the victory recorded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the just-concluded presidential and National Assembly elections, Idimogu said the victory was the aftermath of hard work by President Muhammadu Buhari to reposition the nation’s economy and redirecting the country on the part of sustainable growth and development.

    He added that since the inception of the APC administration in 2015, the country has witnessed tremendous achievements, even to the chagrin of some die-hard critics of the administration.

    “President Buhari’s victory at the polls on February 23 was great testimony of the commitment with which Mr President had pursued the task of retrieving the nation’s economy out of the woods. In appreciation of this commitment, especially in the areas of fight against corruption and insurgency, Nigerians overwhelmingly voted for him in order to complete the good works he had started. We hope to experience great improvement in all sectors of the economy in the next four years,” Idimogu said.

    He congratulated all those who were victorious during the national assembly election on the platform of the APC, even as he urged them to continue to provide quality representation for members of their various constituencies.

    He stated that votes for the APC will translate to a better Lagos, adding that a governor of a state and those representing that various constituencies are very close to those at the grassroots as they interact with them frequently.

    “On Saturday, there will be election to determine who will govern the state. Those to represent their various constituencies in the Lagos State House of Assembly will also elected that day.

    ‘I sincerely urge Lagosians, especially Ndigbo and others who are not indigenous to the state to come out in their large numbers and votes for candidates on the platform of the APC. When you cast your votes for the APC, you vote for all-round development and equal opportunities since Lagos is a land of equal opportunities irrespective of religious and ethnic backgrounds,” he said.
