Sanwo-Olu Is A Criminal, Too Mentally Unstable To Govern Lagos - Ambode

Akinwunmi  Ambode, Governor of Lagos State, says the man “being propelled” to campaign against him, lacks credibility.
Although he didn’t expressly mention his name, Ambode was clearly referring to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the anointed candidate of Bola Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to take over from him in 2019.
He warned leaders and members of the party that they had been deceived into thinking his opponent was a greter candidate than him.
“In the last two or three weeks, they’ve been put up a campaign of calumny in the social media and also disparaging our personality and our character, but we have never responded; we have never abused anybody — because we believe that there’s always a reason for us to come together as a family,” he said on Sunday while addressing a ‘World Press Conference’.
“We are one family in the APC, but the truth is this, the aspirant that is being put up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this position. This is the truth.
“Party leaders and party members have been misled into thinking that this is a greater candidate than me. I have done everything in the last three and a half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor. Most of the projects we are doing are about alleviating the sufferings of the poor. And the only way out for us is to continue to do that in the next four years.
“This particular aspirant — you can go and check, the records are there — is somebody that has been arrested for spending fake American dollars in a night club.”
Ambode rounded off his speech by urging party leaders not to allow the opposition take away lagos from them by fielding a weak candidate.

Access Bank To Shut Down 346 Banks Nationwide (List)

Nigerian financial power house, Access Bank, annunciated the closure of more than 300 of its branches nationwide in a bid cut down running costs as a result of the outbreak of the deadly virus, COVID-19. This move comes in the wake of a statement made by the group managing director/CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe who explained the reasons behind a planned mass retrenchment of its workforce, stating that some of its branches will be closed up until December of this year. Herald NG earlier reported that Wigwe made this disclosure via video conferencing in a town hall meeting with the bank’s staff that later leaked on social media platforms. Wigwe noted that those to be affected by the mass retrenchment are mostly outsourced staff and workers offering nonessential services. This group makes for about 75% of the Organisation’s staff strength in its branches nationwide. “We probably don’t need as much security as required; even to the fact that we are not gonna have all our branches o

A fresh crisis is brewing in the ranks of Nigeria’s ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) with at least four state governors prepared for battle with the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole. The state governors: Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara; Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo; Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna and Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, whose grievances border on the mode of primaries and automatic tickets issued to some serving senators, have either directly or through their surrogates attacked Mr Oshiomhole. These governors, sometimes acting through their APC state chairpersons, have accused the national leadership of the party of imposition of candidates. Some have also kicked against the mode of primaries adopted for their various states by then party headquarters.
