    ….says Chief Iwuanyanyu cannot disobey court order.

    Emmanuel Clement 

    The disparities in the rulership position as to who is the aunthentic president of Ohaneze Ndigbo in Lagos state,Chief Solomon Aguene has debunk the report making rounds on the social media concerning him stepping aside as Ohaneze president Lagos, while Chief Sunday Ossai takes over, saying that he is still in charge of Ohaneze Ndigbo Socio Cultural Organisation Lagos.

    Chief Aguene stated this in a press conference held at the Ohaneze secretariat in Surulere,Lagos stating that the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Socio Cultural Organisation, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanyu visit to Lagos was to work with him as the most capable to govern Ndigbo in Lagos and also solicit for assistance from stakeholders, and highly respected persons in Ohaneze Ndigbo Lagos so as to move the National forward.

    He went further to state that Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu did not come to address the issues around Ohaneze crisis in Lagos, as speculated in the media,rather the apex leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide was in Lagos to affirm him as the authentic President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Lagos state, describing him as “Mr Capacity “, reiterates that Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu is a wise man and won’t disobey court judgement.

    According to Chief Solomon Aguene,he pointed that Chief Iwuanyanyu stated that Chief Ossai was presented to him as the elected president of Ohaneze Ndigbo Lagos when he visited Lagos but has no capacity to govern the socio-cultural organization, stating that no one is above court judgements and he will present the matter before the ‘Ime Obi’ to resolve the issue.

    Chief Solomon revealed that the first 4years of his tenure didn’t really count as he was in and out of court due to injunctions, says since the judgement was passed, his tenure has properly commenced as president of Ohaneze Lagos to complete the unfinished tasks.

    “A court judgement was passed in May 2023 following some issues arising from disagreements surrounding my position as Ohaneze president in 2018 by some dysfunctional executives of Ohaneze Ndigbo, the defacto executives since 2018, had produced two different leaders to disorient and checkmate my activities while the case of leadership choice had been a tussle in court for 3years and 7months before judgement was passed affirming me Chief Aguene as the authentic president of Ohaneze Ndigbo in Lagos.”

    “According to court order, the parties will have to conduct elections in all Ndigbo communities to elect one president, meanwhile the office of the President of Ohaneze remains intact, he stated.

    Speaking on the requests of the opposing faction who demanded an outrageous amount of 40million naira as compensation otherwise step down, Solomon affirmed that he declined on their request.

    Addressing the disconcerting mannerisms of Ndi-Ezes in Lagos, Solomon disapprove of some disgraceful behaviour stemmed from disunity amongst them. Says the Ezes are divided into various groups who fights over very trivial matters.

    “Some Ezes in Lagos needs sensitization on what it means to assume the mantle of kingship, they need to possess quality attitude to command respect for themselves as some are disgrace to the title they are holding as they are always seen fighting for bag of rice and cow, until l came and things was restored by me as the ohaneze president ” he submitted.

    The press conference was attended by Stakeholders, Patrons, Executives, Women and Youth leaders of Ohaneze Ndigbo Lagos.

  • Kidnappings: Employ More Neighborhood Watch Officers, Lagos Assembly Tells Sanwo-Olu – sympathises with affected states, families of victims – commends Remi Tinubu for advocating capital punishment for kidnappers

    Kidnappings: Employ More Neighborhood Watch Officers, Lagos Assembly Tells Sanwo-Olu – sympathises with affected states, families of victims – commends Remi Tinubu for advocating capital punishment for kidnappers

    Emmanuel Ikpeama.

    With incidents of kidnapping spreading across some states of the federation, the Lagos State House of Assembly has called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to increase the personnel in the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC) to effectively assist other security agencies.

    The House also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his favourable disposition to the issue of state police just as it praised the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for raising a voice and advocating for capital punishments as a deterrent.
    The issue which was discussed under ‘Matter of Urgent Public Importance’ followed the recent kidnapping of about 280 children in Kaduna, the about 102 kidnapped in Borno and 15 kidnapped in Sokoto recently.
    Noting that the case of the Chibok girls was yet to abate, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, said it was very important for every Nigerian to rise up and speak against kidnapping just as he sympathize with affected states and families of victims.


    Dr. Obasa said it was painful that while parents struggle to send their children to school to seek knowledge, “evil people in the name of kidnappers are hell-bent on destroying the future of the children
    “It is very important for all of us to rise up and find a lasting solution. Security is very essential in every given society and if we fail to protect lives, then what do we have as responsibility?

    “We must commend our First Lady for being bold and coming out and even talking about capital punishment.”
    The Speaker commended the military for its effort, but said more can be done even if it means relocating to areas where these attacks are frequent.
    He recalled the situation that necessitated the enactment of the anti-kidnapping law of Lagos State some years ago urging the National Assembly to review existing laws relating to kidnapping and expedite action on state police.

    The Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu, said it is necessary at this time to call on governors and speakers of states to act regarding related legislation.
    In their various contributions, Hon. Tobun Abiodun and Nureni Akinsanya commended the Speaker for raising the issue while noting that Lagos is gradually experiencing cases of kidnappings.

    Their colleague, Hon. Sa’ad Olumoh, suggested the establishment of special courts to try alleged kidnappers and speed up trial processes while Hon. Abiodun Orekoya urged the military to employ technology in their surveillance.
    Meanwhile, Speaker Obasa has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria as the Ramadan commences.
    Dr. Obasa urged those who have to share with those in need. He urged Muslims to pray for peace and the country while encouraging Nigerians to show love to one another irrespective of religious beliefs.

    FG Commences Construction of 700 KM Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road And Maintenance of Critical Bridges in Lagos.

    Emmanuel lkpeama.

    As part of strategic plans for holistic economic recovery, the Federal Government has commenced the construction of the 700km Lagos- Calabar Coastal Highway, spanning 9 States with two spurs leading to the Northern States.
    This was expressed by the Honourable Minister of Works, Sen. Engr. Nweze David Umahi,during the official handover of the first phase of the project, made up of 47.47kilometers dual carriageway, to Hitech Construction Company Ltd, which is to be constructed in concrete pavement.
    The Hon. Minister who was in company with the Federal Ministry of Works’ Controller in charge of Lagos State,Engr. (Mrs) O. I. Kesha,emphasized the need for all contractors handling Federal Government’s road projects to deliver within a record time, noting that the government would not allow variation arising from delays or slow pace of work once mobilization had been done.
    Senator Umahi,however, commended Hitech Construction Company Nigeria Ltd for being reputable for quality and speedy delivery of jobs.,acknowledging their efforts in starting work immediately after the contract was awarded.
    He said, ” l am here to oversee what Hitech have done and as you can see they have completed some filling of 1.3 kilometer from the day the project was awarded to them,It shows the speed they are going to use to deploy this project. Within a couple of weeks, we awarded the project to them, they mobilized a lot of dredging equipment, and you can see that they have recovered 1.3 kilometer of section one of the phase”he stated.
    The Honourable Minister who also visited the Queen’s Drive Ikoyi, the Third Mainland bridge top deck, the under water, the Eddo bridge, the Eko bridge and Carter bridge expressed the determination of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to carry out a comprehensive rehabilitation of all the bridges which are critical links between the Mainland and the Island of Lagos, which he said is the economic hub of the country.
    According to him,these repairs are expected to cover not only the top of the bridge but also the under bridge works.
    He said, ” At the Third Mainland bridge, we have three or four critical elements to be rehabilitated. The first one is the deck, and the deck is about 11 kilometers times two. That is dual carriageway, including the ramps, and it has been done by CCECC. They have done a very beautiful jobs, but we have not concluded. l assure you that before the end of March, we’ll be concluding the asphalt milling and the reasphalting.”
    “But that is not all our commitment there. We are installing the guardrails, we are replacing the lights with solar light, we are going to put some decorative lights too, and then we are going to put CCTV camera both on top and under the bridge to check insecurity and illegal mining of sand, which is causing scouring on the piles and the pipe bits. The second job is that some sections of the slab are deflected, and so what we have done is to get an expert to understudy the level of deflection. That’s the tendons of the slab that deflected. And so we are going to cut open the slabs, enter and then look at it, scoop it, and then reinstate the tendons of the slab. There’s nothing to worry about. It’s been done at a Eko bridge by Buildwell. So this one is not a threat to us at all” he submitted.
