APC’s strategies and tactics

Igbokwe said the APC’s strategies and tactics for building virile and democratic institutions were beyond the comprehension of Lagos PDP leaders.

He added: “The Lagos PDP claim of ‘hurried and controversial emergence’ of Sanwo-Olu shows lack of clear understanding of the dynamics and inner workings of Lagos APC.

“What Lagos APC did is to advance the cause of democracy and prove that the party is supreme as we have seen in other climes like South Africa, where former President Mbeki and Zuma were asked to step down in order to advance and strengthen the fortunes of the party.

“The huge lessons have been sent out there for elected persons not to ignore the platforms they used to get to power, and not to kick away the ladder they used in climbing up to where they are.”

Rejecting the notion of lack of preparation for the huge task, the party’s publicity secretary said Agbaje’s experience as the owner of an Apapa-based pharmacy store without any branch for 30 years paled into insignificance in the face of Sanwo-Olu’s experience as a former bank executive, special adviser, commissioner and managing director of a parastatal.

He said: “Babajide Sanwo-Olu has a five-page Resume that is in the public domain and time and space will not permit us to put it here. Babajide Sanwo-Olu is a proud product of the University of Lagos with a degree in Surveying & Informatics and a Master’s degree Holder in Business Administration (MBA).

Sanwo-Olu banking career

“Sanwo-Olu has an enviable banking career, where he rose to the position of DGM at First Atlantic Bank, now First City Monument Bank. He came into the public sector when he was appointed the Acting Commissioner for Economic Planning & Budget in less than a year after he joined the former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration as SA on Corporate Affairs.

“In 2006, he became the Commissioner for Commerce & Industry and in 2007, he became the Commissioner for Establishment, Training & Pensions under Fashola Administration, which he served diligently from 2007 to 2011.

“Babajide was appointed the MD/CEO Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSPDC) by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in 2016 and he has made humongous impact and progress in that huge corporation until he joined the race for the governorship of Lagos State. This is the loaded and heavily experienced Sanwo Olu PDP described as ‘an emergency candidate that is unprepared for the job.

Gunmen kidnap five Catholic nuns in Delta state

 Asaba  suspected Gunmen abducted five Catholic nuns

By Festus Ahon, ASABA SUSPECTED gunmen, Friday abducted five Catholic nuns of the Order of the Missionary of Martha and Mary in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State under the Issele-Uku Diocese.

The circumstances surrounding the kidnap were still hazy. Our correspondent learnt that the victims were said to be returning  from a burial ceremony in the eastern part of the country when the hoodlums struck around the Railway Line near Agbor. The hoodlums intercepted the private vehicle of the nuns and shot at the vehicle of the clerics, injuring two nuns on the leg region before making away with the other five. As at the time of filing this report, the abductors were yet to make contact with the leadership of the Catholic community in Issele-Uku Diocese.

 In a text message to our correspondent in Asaba, a priest in the diocese said: “Please pray for the release of five MMM Sisters kidnapped on Thursday, October 25, 2018 at Agbor, and two other MMM Sisters in the same vehicle shot at the leg region. The Sisters were on their way from the east where they went for a funeral.”

Effort made to reach the Public Relations Officer of the state police command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka proved abortive at press time. The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Mustafa however confirmed the incident, adding that the victims were in a private vehicle when the hoodlums struck.

Saying the identity of the victims were yet to be ascertained, he said the occupants of the vehicle were more than five as at the time of the attack by the hoodlums who shoot sporadically into the air to scare away any form of resistance. He said his men have been mobilised to trail the kidnappers to possibly rescue the victims unhurt.
