Ambode Relentless on taking over national stadium from FG

Published

on

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has intensified moves towards the takeover of the National Stadium, Surulere, from the Federal Government.

It was learnt that the Special Adviser to the  Governor on Sports and Chairman Lagos State Sports Commission, Deji Tinubu, was in Abuja on Saturday  on the directive of Ambode to meet with the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, to work out details of  the stadium  takeover.

The stadium has been abandoned by the Federal Government for years.

Tinubu, who confirmed his meeting with Dalung, said the state government was not happy with the sorry state of the stadium that hosted the 1973 All Africa Games, the 1999 FIFA Under-20 World Cup and several senior World Cup qualifiers.

He said,  “Governor Ambode continues to relentlessly pursue his dream of a Lagos for all and a Lagos that works and sees the benefit of the use of sport and all it encompasses, hence the  move to request the takeover of the stadium.

“Nigerians,  especially Lagosians,  have sadly witnessed the gradual decay of the National Stadium over the years since the Super Eagles’ matches were moved to Abuja.

“Until now, nobody seemed to care about  what happened to the stadium except to share stories of victories and painful defeats at the arena.

“The condition of the stadium prompted  the governor to go into action because he also saw the glory of the stadium stripped from it. Now he has declared that it’s time Lagos State took over responsibility of what used to be the nation’s pride.”

Tinubu recalled memories of the glory days of the stadium, saying the state government would ensure it retains it pride of place in Africa.

He said, “Many remember the stadium being ready in time to successfully host the 1973 All Africa Games and the Green Eagles winning our first ever Nations Cup in 1980 as well as hosting the 1999 FIFA U-20 World Cup as Spain’s golden generation lifted the cup in style.”

The actress, who is facing intense criticism online following her support for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general election, had engaged in a heated exchange with one X user identified as @Yarlo.

 

 

In the course of the heated exchange, the X user wished death on Toyin’s son. He wrote, “Your son go kpai soon.”

Toyin, in response, promised to use him as a scapegoat, to which the X user replied, “Use me as the first scapegoat.”

However, in a new development on Monday, another user who claimed to be very close to @Yarlo, alleged that the X user was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for cyberbullying Toyin Abraham.

Reaching out for help on behalf of the arrested X user, @Reedah wrote: “Hello I’m Reedah and Yarlo is my friend. Heard from his mother that he was arrested 4 days ago. I heard that the police came from Lagos to arrest him for cyber bullying Toyin Abraham. Pls any help you can render will deeply appreciate you.”
