What a joyous and memorable day! it was a celebration galore as party leaders, members, admirers, colleagues, family, co-aspirants under the platform of APC Ogun East trooped out in their thousands to support a proactive, dogged, articulate and vibrant Majority leader of Ogun State House of Assembly and as leading Aspirant for Remo Federal Constituency, Hon. Asiwaju Yinka Mafe, as he declared his intention to contest for House of representatives.

Performing his obligation, the Ogun East party Chairman, Alhaji Yakubu Declared the occasion opened.

The Party Leaders took turns to pray for AYM individually as the acknowleldged the fact truly its the turn of Offin in Sagamu and if APC wants to win a strong candidate like AYM is the answer.

He further assured his supporters not to be perturbed by the activities of the detractors, in and outside the party who only believe in buying of votes and spreading a false information about my person. He said they are already drowning and looking for who to drag along but I remain gallant, resolute and committed. By God grace, we shall triumph. This is however the beauty of democracy – respect for diversity!

True story by kind coutesy of a brother and friend resident in Canada - Babarinde Williams:

August 6, 2018 ...

Our bureaucrats went to canada to ask Toronto chief of police to send help to train Nigerians in community policing ...

Guess what? The grandfather of community policing in canada was officer Tewogbade ojo. A retired 35 year veteran ...

Nigerians were shocked to discover that a star officer of Toronto police was their own son!!!!

Yeas. Nigerian! From Ilesa. Been in canada for almost 50 years. Never ever took a bribe. One of the most honest cops in the world.

A Nigerian !!!!!!!!!! They were shocked.

Elder Ojo met with the police big wigs in Abuja. And he promised to train Nigerian police for free!
(see enclosed photos👇👇👇)
Yes. For free. Is Nigeria not a great country. When people leave , they become great men and women !

And they remember their country, periodically for good.

Let us build Nigeria and not destroy her greatness by our bad-mounting and wrong attitudes.

Nigeria shall rise again.

I believe in Nigeria.

God Rules!

*HONOURABLE COMMISSIONER FOR EDUCATION CLEAR THE AIR ON REMO SECONDARY SCHOOL SAGAMU OLD STUDENT SCHOOL PROJECT*'

Good evening All. Thank you for your various comments regarding the donation to RSS. To provide perspective and clarity let me explain.The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in Ogun State has oversight responsibility on the school infrastructure and community.

This government is certainly not averse to support and collaboration and His Excellency always mentions this whenever he speaks particularly on education.Order is however the first principle for foundational and sustainable success so we do have rules of engagement.Order is however the first principle for foundational and sustainable success so we do have rules of engagement.Typically, a donor writes in to the school and / or the Zonal Education Office communicating it's interest to support the school. The Ministry is approached by the office of the ZEO (and / or on occasion by the donor) and following an assessment of the proposed intervention vs  the existing infrastructure of the school, determines the best option for all concerned.This may include a meeting with the donor and have variously resulted in project redesign, increase / reduction or redirection of donor funds and on occasion joint support both financial and otherwise.Once goal congruence is established, the Ministry formalises approval with a letter that will often also stipulate safety measures, timelines, etcThe Ministry also 'supervises' the project and welcomes the opportunity of attending the commissioning if invited. In any event the Ministry also documents the State Governments appreciation for all such interventions.In the RSS scenario unfortunately there was no communication to or with the Ministry before an invitation to Commission the project.The year group that offered the donation in their enthusiasm also took a decision to build an exclusive mini Hall for their meetings and activities all without the requisite approvals and planning clearance.Unfortunately the timeframe to complete these processes did not permit completion of all that was required hence the commissioning could not proceed.

The Year group was thus advised (and did agree) to hold their event in the existing Hall.It was entirely their decision to hold their festivities in am alternate venue and the option for a formal Commissioning at a later date when all processes are concluded was made and remains open to the Year GroupThe issues around an exclusive mini Hall could pretend chaos particularly if every year group decided to put up an exclusive structure. I doubt very much that the many illustrious members of the EXCO of the Year Group 88/93 would provide a different perspective as I had the privilege to interact with them variously on this matter................................. *Good evening, honorable commissioner. I am Babasola Adegbuyi, a governorship aspirant in the state.*
*Madam, I have an intention of organising debate/quiz across all the secondary schools in Ogun State and I have discussed this with the admin of this group.* *He, however, promised to get back to me*. *Has the honorable commissioner of education,* 1. *Can you tell me the process requires to get this done?* 2. *How open is your office to consider this request?*
*Thank you.*,............................................ We are very open Sir. Please write a letter to us that details the program, process and plan etc. Our concerns are that it doesn't interrupt the normal school calendar particularly exams and that our children will be well catered for.

WE WILL NOT BE DISTRACTED BY FRIVOLOUS ALLEGATIONS – FG

[BREAKING]  MUST READ PRESS RELEASE:


WE WILL NOT BE DISTRACTED BY FRIVOLOUS ALLEGATIONS – FG


The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said the Buhari Administration will not be distracted by frivolous allegations from any quarter, especially those cleverly choreographed to divert attention from a widely-acclaimed presidential proclamation and to shore up support for a waning and egotistical cause.


In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday, the Minister said the administration is too busy trying to clear the mess of 16 years and build on its unprecedented achievements over the past three years to waste its energy and time on framing up anyone or dwelling on issues that are not grounded in fact.

He said while those who have skeletons in their wardrobes should be afraid, even of their own shadows, innocent persons need not worry about any investigation, whether real or imagined.

”This administration will never engage in a frame-up of innocent citizens. That is neither in the character of President Muhammadu Buhari nor in that of his administration. Only the guilty should be worried. To paraphrase an African proverb, a man who has no wife cannot lose an inlaw to the cold hands of death.

”The administration is also strongly committed to the tenets of democracy, including freedom of speech and the right to dissent. But we understand that those who, in their time, were untethered to those principles would find it hard to believe,” Alhaji Mohammed said.

The Minister said it was curious that the frame-up and witch-hunt allegations came a day after a major presidential proclamation reversing some past acts of injustice was made, to the relief and acclamation of a long-expectant nation.

”Apparently, the impact of this proclamation was too much to bear by those who, through acts of omission or commission, helped to deepen the wounds inflicted by the blow of injustice that followed an election that was widely acclaimed to be free, fair and credible, hence they felt the need for a red herring that will distract the nation.

”Added to that is the frustration brought about by the fact that the contraption they have so much hyped as a freeway to power has failed to gain traction. Faced with this double tragedy, even the strongest of men may begin to succumb to a figment of their imagination. They may start crying wolf where there is none,” he said.

Alhaji Mohammed said the unprecedented achievements of the Buhari Administration are also enough to cause sleepless nights, with the attendant symptoms that include phantasm, for those who had better opportunities to make the country great but floundered on the altar of narcissism.

Hon. (Barr.) Asiwaju Yinka Mafe Inside The Bus With The Students.

It takes greatness to identify greatness in others, AYM; the one and only grassroot politician in Remoland has done the usual thing today when he visited Remo Secondary School (RSS).

He was seen inside the school bus amidst of the students, he encouraged them all to be more focused on their studies and urged them to shun every form of immoral act that could jeopardised their futures.

AYM says and I quote "I feel so much delighted and fulfilled any moment am in the midst of the younger generations" They are my people and being with them brings back old time memories" Once upon a time, I was like them.

All the students were so happy seeing AYM in their midst, they were all echoing #MafeLafe#. May I quickly remind us that one of AYM's project was the free bus scheme, #MafeLafeBus# used in conveying students in Remo federal constituency. Hardly would you see a student in Remo that wouldn't know the so called #MafeLafeBus#

AYM was also spotted along Ikenne road, Akesan road and within Sagamu driving the #MafeLageBus, conveyed the students of RSS, Mayflower, Remo Divisional high school, Methodist com. College etc. And he dropped them at their various destination.

For the betterment and upliftment of Remoland, we all have a roll to play, I there beseech everyone to support Asiwaju Yinka Mafe for member, house of representatives, Remo federal constituency in the coming general elections.

Still on the matter... #MafeLafeLabuja2019!

Ladoja failed to return ‘stolen’ funds, says EFCC

Ladoja failed to return ‘stolen’ funds, says EFCC

The Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday heard that a former Oyo State Governor Rashidi Ladoja allegedly did not return his share of the funds he received from sale of the state’s shares.

Ladoja is on trial for allegedly converting N4.7 billion from the state treasury to his personal use.

But he denied the allegation.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged him with Waheed Akanbi, his commissioner for Finance, for alleged graft.

An EFCC investigator, Abubakar Madaki, who testified, averred that the former governor gave instructions in 2007 that the shares, worth N6.6 billion, be sold at discounted rates without the Executive Council’s (Exco’s) resolution.

The witness said the money allegedly went to Ladoja, his family and friends.

According to the investigator, Ladoja engaged Fountain Securities as a portfolio manager to sell the shares at a discounted rate.

The shares were acquired by McLace Securities.

“In the course of our investigation, about N500 million was recovered from McLace Security, Fountain Securities and other stockbrokers,” Madaki said.

According to him, Ladoja promised to return his share of the money, but never did.

“The EFCC recovered over N500 million and some vehicles. All the recoveries were remitted to the Oyo State government, except the money and vehicle that Ladoja got, which he claimed he would return, but never did,” Madaki said.

The witness said money recovered “was the balance that was supposed to be paid to the state government but was shared”.

Madaki said the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) launched an investigation into how Oyo State shares were sold.

The witness said EFCC also discovered that a residential apartment, called Quarter 361, was purchased by Ladoja’s former Executive Assistant Adewale Atanda on the former governor’s behalf with proceeds of shares from Heritage Apartments, the state’s broker.

To verify that the property was acquired with the shares’ proceed, Madaki said EFCC requested the payment details and discovered that a cheque was written by Heritage Apartments.

The witness said Atanda bought 14 cars for lawmakers as well as for Ladoja and his wife, using loan obtained from Wema Bank Plc.

He added: “They used the shares’ proceeds to offset the loan they took from Wema Bank. The accused benefited from the vehicle. The wife also benefited.”

The witness said investigations were extended to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to unravel the identity of another company, Bistrum Investment Limited, also used in the transfer of Oyo State funds.

He said although the first accused denied knowledge of Bistrum, he admitted knowing one its directors, who he said was his cousin.

Madaki said further investigations confirmed that Atanda’s account in Lagoon Homes, which also received part of proceeds from stock brokers, was issued a bank draft of N70 million.

The EFCC accused Ladoja and Akanbi of converting Oyo State’s N1,932,940,032.48 to their personal use through the Guaranty Trust Bank account of a company, Heritage Apartments Limited.

The prosecution said the former governor removed £600,000 (about N240,219,945) from the state’s coffers in 2007 and sent it to Bimpe Ladoja in London, United Kingdom (UK).

Ladoja also allegedly bought an armoured Land Cruiser Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) with N42 million for himself, using public funds.

The EFCC investigator accused the former governor of converting N728,600,000 and another N77,850,000 in 2007.

He was said to have also transferred N77,850,000 to Bistrum Investments, which he allegedly nominated to help him buy a property, Quarter 361, in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.

The alleged offence contravenes sections 17(a) and18 (1) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2004, punishable under sections 14 (1), 16 (a) (b) and 18 (2).

Ladoja and Akanbi pleaded not guilty.

The trial continues today.
