Enough Is Enough of the Impunity in Lagos
With news of the moves to impeach Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor of Lagos State, there is no doubt that the future of our beloved Lagos State is at stake.
For the first time since 1999, Lagos is entering the second month of a new year without an approved budget. There are several completed projects awaiting commissioning, and several more ongoing ones that are being slowed down.
This petition is by concerned people of Lagos State. The cabals behind the continued harassment and embarrassment of outgoing Governor Ambode need to be opposed, and told enough is enough.
This is starting to look like a throwback to the days of President Obasanjo, when unfair and illegal impeachment actions brought Governors down, just because they were not in the good books of their godfathers.
This is not about taking sides in the politics of Lagos, or about being a fan of the APC, or about Governor Ambode. It is simply about ensuring any semblance of governance of Lagos State is preserved.
When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. The good people of Lagos have had enough. Enough of impunity in Lagos State.
Governor Ambode has been denied a chance of reelection, but he should be left to fulfil the promises he has made to the people of Lagos: infrastructure, healthcare, education, housing, environment and jobs.
Lagos deserves better. That’s all we are asking for, that’s why we are asking concerned and passionate Lagosians to sign this petition.

A civil rights organization, Legislative Probity and Accountability (LPA), Tuesday issued the Lagos House of Assembly five days deadline to account for the N28.8 billion running cost collected under the leadership of Mudashiru Obasa.
The organisation said if the House of Assembly failed, it would mobilise Nigerians and other progressive forces and use all legal instruments to compel them to account.
The LPA threw the challenge in a statement signed by its Chairman, Olu Fajana, ein Abuja on Tuesday.
The organisation linked the planned impeachment of governor Akinwunmi Ambode on the desperation of his adversaries to hang on him accusations that he had been funding the campaign of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje.
Fajana said, “As a legislative Probity and Accountability non-governmental organization, we are demanding that the Lagos House of Assembly should within the next five days account for how the N28.8 billion so far collected as running cost by the Obasa-led House has been expended. If they fail, we shall mobilise Nigerians of likeminds and legally compel the Assembly to do the needful.”
According to him, the adversaries had also failed to find any evidence that Ambode sponsored thugs that disrupted the All Progressives Congress governorship campaign flag-off in Ikeja a few weeks ago.
