Bishop Group Slams Oba Of Lagos For Endorsing Ambode As Next Governor

A political group under the aegis of Visioners for New Lagos (VNL) said on Friday that the purported endorsement of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode as the next governor of Lagos State by the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, was a ruse, adding that the monarch lacks the power to impose a candidate on the state.
In a statement endorsed by its leader, Mr. Bambo Akin-Johnson, the group said that the assertion by Oba Akiolu was a grand illusion.
The group said it had earlier raised the alarm on the same issue recently, adding that the disposition of the “phantom Lagos elders” showed that the Oba of Lagos had veered off his brief “by arrogating to himself the right and power to determine who governs Lagos State.”
The group said that it would continue to insist that Lagos State is not the property of anyone or group, adding that it’s a collective heritage it’s ready to protect.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday attended the funeral mass in honour of the late former Governor of Lagos, Michael Otedola and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo was there as well. When it was time for Jonathan to leave the venue, Chief Obasanjo escorted him out and the duo obviously engaged in an intense discussion as can be seen from the president’s expression. Reports have it that Obasanjo took the chance to advice the president on a matter of national security. The former president recently met with people believed to be close to the terrorist sect, Boko Haram in an attempt to secure the release of the over 200 girls who have been in captivity for 46 days. Obasanjo has however said that he cannot act without the approval of President Jonathan. See photo below:

The letter, numbering about 20 was typed on an A4 paper and was scattered on the streets, which was noticed by residents as they woke up on Thursday morning. The letter reads, "Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared. Our dues must be paid this festive season. Nobody can stop us as we can strike at any time. Only enough money can save your life.
