Let’s give Sanwo-Olu second term, FPP begs Lagos residents

A political group, Forum of Political Parties (FPP), has appealed to stakeholders and residents of the state to allow Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu a second term as governor of Lagos State.

The forum, in a statement on Sunday in Lagos, titled “FPP Endorses Sanwo-Olu for Second Term”, said that the achievements of the governor and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, had proven beyond doubt that they deserve a second term in office.

The statement was signed by Chief Kola Ajayi and Mr Shola Omolola, the Chairman and Secretary of the forum, respectively.

“We are poised to continue to support the administration of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and we are geared towards endorsing him for a second term in Office.

“With the successes and achievements recorded so far by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration, we believe that his one good term surely deserves another term in office.

“As we appeal to all stakeholders and Lagos residents to allow the governor serve a second term, we want to assure everyone that we shall not relent in giving our unalloyed support to this administration,” the statement said.

The statement said that the group was also in support of the presidential aspirations of Sen. Bola Tinubu, a former governor of the state, in 2023 general elections.

It stated that the forum regarded Tinubu as the most qualified, most suitable personality for the office of the president going by his records of governance in Lagos, and his leadership prowess in Nigeria at large.

It added that the group would hold another public forum in April to showcase “Sanwo-Olu’s Brand” to the whole world and highlight the achievements of his government.

It said that the forum would show why Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat team deserved a Second term in office.

The statement said that the group was formed after series of meetings and consultations with relevant stakeholders and is ready to work with every individual and organisation who believes in their agenda.

It said FPP was made up of the leadership of registered and de-registered political, political associations, youth and women associations, civil society organisations, pressure groups among others.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the calls for second term for Sanwo-Olu have continued to swell in the state.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p
