Scores of members of Lagos Youth Vanguard (LYV) on Tuesday stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly, chanting solidarity songs to demand the probe of former governor Akinwunmi Ambode over alleged corrupt activities.
The protesters were led by the Patron of LYV, Mr. Rasak Olokooba and the President of the Group, Mr. Ibrahim Ekundina.
Some of the placards of the protesters read: “Ambode, submit yourself for probe,” “Ambode must be probed,” “EFCC do your job,” “Ambode is a thief,” “Ambode awarded fake contracts,” and “Ambode, return Lagos money.”
The Lagos Youth Vanguard stated in their leaflet that was distributed to journalists that Ambode “deliberately laid landmine through the obvious improper, inappropriate and insufficient content in his handover note that should serve as a guide to the incoming administration in the tradition of every civilised public officer.”
They accused Ambode of flouting so many government procedures, saying that he refused to abide by the procurement laws.
He was accused of wrong priority in policies and programmes and abandoning the track that can bring about development in the state.
“We call for his probe and investigation with a view to apportioning penalty and dishing out appropriate penalties.
“We want to assure the good people of Lagos State, including all the people that care about Lagos and the people of Lagos that we will continue to pursue every legitimate means until justice is done,” they said.
Addressing the protesters, the representative of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, Hon. Rotimi Olowo stated that the protesters were right as their action was constitutional.
Olowo emphasized that the House had commenced investigations into the government of Ambode and that they would look into the petition as a House and do their jobs as expected.
The lawmaker added that they were having a committee meeting shortly before the protesters arrived to look into the finance of the state and ensure that the road in the state was motorable.

Hello to all, as I am really keen of reading this web
site’s post to be updated regularly. It consists
of good stuff.
Thanks for the something totally new you have unveiled in your article. One thing I would like to comment on is that FSBO human relationships are built eventually. By presenting yourself to the owners the first end of the week their FSBO is definitely announced, prior to masses commence calling on Monday, you make a good interconnection. By giving them instruments, educational products, free accounts, and forms, you become a great ally. If you take a personal affinity for them and their circumstance, you create a solid link that, on many occasions, pays off once the owners opt with a broker they know as well as trust — preferably you actually.
