A Lagos group , Save Lagos Group(SLG) has commended the Kaduna State
Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai over his stand on godfattherism in
Nigeria politics, particularly in Lagos State.
Declaring support to el-Rufai position, the group maintained that the
godfatherism saga has eroded the State of finest governor in person of
Mr. Akinwumi Ambode.
The group also declared that the National Leader of the ruling All
Progressives Congress(APC),Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu unfit to rule the
country come 2023.
It supported its position with alleged certificate racketing of Senator
Bola Tinubu tagged “CHICAGOGATE” which is still pending in the Court of
Competent jurisdiction in the land, insisting that Tinubu still had the
certificate saga hanging on its neck.
According to the signed statement by the Convener of the group, Comrade
Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman, it commended the Kaduna State governor for his
boldness and courage to take the bull by the horns to speak against
Tinubu on the subject matter as rape of democracy.
They described Tinubu as self centered leader who only used enthronement
of his political godsons in various political offices to enrich himself
and his family members, instead of rendering selfless
service to humanity as displayed by the outgoing governor of the State,
Ambode.
They used the opportunity to call on the courageous people of the
Southwest and Lagos State in particular, to rise up against the
domineering tendency of Senator Bola Tinubu by taking their destinies in
their hands and put stop to the ongoing political slavery in the region
and the Lagos State.
According to the statement “it is high time for the well meaning people
of the Southwest region and Lagos State to join hands together to uproot
the modern day political slavery of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is
fascist idea for only Senator Bola Tinubu to be determined who gets
what,when and how in the political space of the region vis a vis the
State.This singular selfish action of Tinubu eroded the good people of
Lagos State, the good works and selfless service of Governor Akinwumi
Ambode for the next four years.
“Kaduna State governor,Mallam Nasir el-Rufai had captured the feelings
of Lagosians in his anti-godfatherism statement against the domineering
tendency of Senator Bola Tinubu. The APC National Leader is just doing
everything possible to put the Lagos State and entire southwestern
Nigeria in his pocket in order to determine who gets anything but God
that set people of Isreal free from Pharaoh, would soon set the State
and the region free from Tinubu’s hand.May God bless late Chief Ganiyu
Oyesola Fawehinmi,SAN in his grave, who exposed Tinubu’s Chicagogate
then”.
Speaking further on the recent Tinubu and his cohorts pilgrimage to
lesser Hajj(Umurah), the statement said the pilgrimage was political and
not for religion obligation.
The statement therefore urged the people of likes mind to come together
to lead the struggle for the emancipation of the region and Lagos State
from the hand of present impostor.
