I was not fired as civil servant Ambode

Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has denied allegations that he was fired from the Lagos State Civil Service.

A statement made available to SUNDAY PUNCH said Ambode, during a reception by the Eko Club, Surulere, was asked why he left the service at 49.

In his response, the governorship hopeful stated that he served the state meritoriously for 27 years and was specially commended by Governor Babatunde Fashola.

Ambode noted that he was issued a Certificate of Service by the Lagos State Civil Service in recognition of the service he rendered to the state, adding that rumours by the opposition that he was forced out of office were totally baseless and untrue.

He was further quoted as saying that leave bonuses for Lagos State workers had not been removed from their remuneration, but that they had been included with their monthly salary, spread across 12 months.

Ambode, according to the statement, was received by a large gathering of members of the club, which included the Chairman of the club, Mr. Farouk Grillo; Mr. Murphy Adetoro, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, Mr. Razak Muse, Mr. Lanre Razak, Prince Ademola Dada and Mr. Muritala Ashorobi.

Ambode then took the members through his programme for Lagos State and urged them to support him in the forthcoming governorship elections.

The President of the club, Mr. Babatunde Grillo, stated that the APC governorship flag bearer earned their endorsement based on his tested and trusted servitude, leadership acumen and an unmatched experience in matters of good governance.

The Chairman of the interactive session, Adetoro, reiterated the clubs stance by introducing Ambode as the best candidate for the Lagos top job, while giving reference to his rare competence and landmark achievements in the Lagos mainstream civil service.

Houston APC mobilises for Buhari

Members of the All Progressives Congress in Houston Texas, United States of America, have begun mobilisation for the presidential candidate of the opposition party, General Mohammadu Buhari(retd).

A statement issued by the Secretary, Houston APC, Mr. Chima Opara, on Friday said officials of the group would be in Nigeria during the week to make a financial donation to the Mohammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation.

The Chairman, APC, Houston chapter, Ade Steven, and the Woman Leader, Rashidat Musa, expressed confidence that Buhari was the only candidate in the forthcoming election that would deliver Nigeria from the spate of insecurity caused by Boko Haram insurgency.

Steven said, It is unthinkable that in a nation of freedom-loving people, a group like the lunatic Boko Haram will reign, rule and claim a part of Nigerias territory at will.

The Financial Secretary, Mr. Yemi Ojo, and Opara also expressed their hope for a free and fair election.

Sanity will return to Nigeria and to governance May 29, 2015, Ojo said.

They both expressed confidence that Nigerians who despise corruption and cronyism would vote for Buhari.

Fayoses attacks: Buharis group threatens to fight back

February 7, 2015 by Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado-Ekiti 82 Comments

Supporters of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhamadu Buhari (retd.), in Ekiti State have vowed to resist Governor Ayodele Fayoses alleged clampdown on the opposition in the State.

They warned that they would have to fight back to defend themselves if the security agencies failed to address their series of complaints against the government.

Speaking with our correspondent in Ado Ekiti, the State Coordinator of Buhari Support Organisation on International Observers, Mr. Femi Adeleye, urged Fayose to stop attacking members of the opposition in the state.

He said, We have notified the security agencies and they said they are on top of the situation.

We are law abiding citizens and we have reported to the security agencies. The governor should allow people to make their choice, but if the security agencies fail to do the right thing, we will have no option than to fight back.

If the Governor fails to allow peace to reign, then he is inviting anarchy because we will have no option than to defend ourselves.

Adeleye boasted that Buhari would emerge victorious in the February 14 election, saying many Peoples Democratic Partys members had expressed their readiness to vote for him because he had the experience, pedigree, character and integrity to turn the fortunes of Nigeria around for good.

The former member of the State House of Assembly disclosed that more volunteers had offered to join the group to help project Buharis message of change and the need to rescue Nigeria from the brink.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure a credible, free and fair election that would meet international standards.

Progressives for Obama – Progressive America Rising

They protected Wall Street. Not families who were losing their homes. Not people who lost their jobs. And it happened over and over and over

"There has not been nearly enough change," she tells Salon, taking on Obama failures, lobbyists, tuition. So 2016?

By Thomas Frank

Progressive America Rising via Salon

Oct. 12, 2014 - Senator Elizabeth Warren scarcely requires an introduction. She is the single most exciting Democrat currently on the national stage.

Her differentness from the rest of the political profession is stark and obvious. It extends from her straightforward clarity on economic issues to the energetic way she talks. I met her several years ago when she was taking time out from her job teaching at Harvard to run the Congressional Oversight Panel, which was charged with supervising how the bank bailout money was spent. I discovered on that occasion not only that we agreed on many points of policy, but that she came originally from Oklahoma, the state immediately south of the one where I grew up, and also that high school debate had been as important for her as it had been for me.

In the years since then, Professor Warren helped to launch the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (which will probably be remembered as one of the few lasting achievements of the Obama Administration); she wrote a memoir, A Fighting Chance; and she was elected to the United States Senate from Massachusetts.

This interview was condensed and lightly edited.

I want to start by talking about a line that youre famous for, from your speech at the Democratic National Convention two years ago: The system is rigged. You said exactly what was on millions of peoples minds. I wonder, now that youre in D.C. and youre in the Senate, and you have a chance to see things close up, do you still feel that way? And: Is there a way to fix the system without getting the Supreme Court to overturn Citizens United or some huge structural change like that? How can we fix it?

Thats the question that lies at the heart of whether our democracy will survive. The system is rigged. And now that Ive been in Washington and seen it up close and personal, I just see new ways in which that happens. But we have to stop and back up, and you have to kind of get the right diagnosis of the problem, to see how it is thatit goes well beyond campaign contributions. Thats a huge part of it. But its more than that. Its the armies of lobbyists and lawyers who are always at the table, who are always there to make sure that in every decision that gets made, their clients tender fannies are well protected. And when that happens not just once, not just twice, but thousands of times a week the system just gradually tilts further and further. There is no one at the tableI shouldnt say theres no one. I dont want to overstate. You dont have to go into hyperbole. But there are very few people at the decision-making table to argue for minimum-wage workers. Very few people.
