In a ‘Letter of Apology’ personally signed by the embattled chairman, addressed to Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and read on the floor of the House on Tuesday, Jelili agreed that his actions may have caused disrespect to the House.

While expressing regret, he promised to henceforth show maximum respect to the House and work closely with the legislators.

The suspended chairman also informed the House, through a letter by his lawyers, that he had withdrawn the suit he filed against the Assembly before a Federal High Court, Abuja.

“I am writing to express my most sincere and heartfelt apology for any actions or inactions, misrepresentation or conduct on my part that may have contributed to the recent misunderstanding between myself and the esteemed Lagos State House of Assembly under your leadership.

“Upon reflection, I realised that my conduct and certain decisions I made might have been perceived as disrespectful or contrary to the standard of leadership and the mutual respect that defines the relationship between the Assembly and the local government leadership.

“This was never my intention. I deeply regret any discomfort or displeasure this may have caused your personality as well as the entire House.

“I have always held the Lagos State House of Assembly and your esteemed office in particular, in the highest regard.

“Any action or miscommunication that may have suggested otherwise was an unfortunate oversight on my part. I am committed to fostering a more constructive and respectful relationship going forward.

“Once again, I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences caused by my actions or inactions,” the letter read as Jelili promised to work closely with the House henceforth.

The House is yet to debate the letter.

We acted to save Edo State – EFCC Justifies Arrest of Edo Accountant-General, others

 

 

 

Sahara Weekly Reports That The arrest of Edo State’s Accountant General, Julius Anelu, and two other top officials was carried out to quickly save state in view of “huge and suspicious from the state treasured by the outgoing administration”.

 

 

 

 

An impeccable source within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which pleaded anonymity informed that the arrests were made to save the state rather than ground the activities of the state.

 

 

We acted to save Edo State - EFCC Justifies Arrest of Edo Accountant-General, others

 

 

The EFCC had arrested the Accountant General of Edo State, Julius Anelu, and two other top government officials over alleged financial imprieprieties.

 

“Out of N24.6bn paid into the government’s account, about N14bn was left within one week after the money was deposited some weeks back., meaning about N10bn has been withdrawn within five working days”

 

The source added that the EFCC had to quickly move in to to save the state and not to ground its activities as being peddled.

 

“The amounts withdrawn were huge sums. For instance, about some weeks ago, N24.6bn was paid into that account. But in less than one week, about N14bn was left in the account. To save the state, we had to quickly move in. We are not in any way doing that to ground the state activities, it is actually to save the state,” said the source.

 

“We have been investigating the governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki, since 2022 but this latest arrest was as a result of huge withdrawals from the state’s derivation account as the Obaseki’s administration is winding down”.

 

Efforts to get the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, proved abortive as calls to his line were not answered. He has yet to respond to a message sent to him on the matter.

 

The arrest of the officials came days after the Edo State governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, had accused the the State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, “of last-minute borrowings and looting.”

 

In a statement issued on October 16, Okpebholo, called on relevant authorities including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Police and Department of State Services to investigate the allegations.

Botswana Election: Shocking Fulfilment Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy (VIDEO)

Corruption in Nigeria is a fraternity - Primate Ayodele

*Botswana Election: Shocking Fulfilment Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy (VIDEO)

 

 

The outcome of the just concluded election in Botswana that saw the ruling party lose power after 58 years is a testament to Primate Ayodele’s prophetic credibility.

Voters in Botswana have delivered a shock defeat to the party that has ruled them for nearly six decades by handing victory to an opposition coalition and its presidential candidate Duma Boko.

The 54-year-old of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) will replace President Mokgweetsi Masisi, who on Friday conceded defeat after his Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) lost by a landslide for the first time in 58 years.

Primate Ayodele had on several occasions long before this election held that the incumbent president would be disappointed at the election polls. He made it known that the outcome of the election would be shocking and disappointing to the ruling party.

These were his words:

‘’In Botswana, the president will make every effort and the country will want to move on to a stage but the president must be careful so he won’t be disappointed. In the coming election, the president will be disappointed, people will not want to vote him.’’

♬ original sound – Primate Ayodele

Primate Ayodele made this video in September 2023 regarding the nation of Botswana when there was nothing that looked like the incumbent president was going to lose the election in the physical realm but the prophet, as usual, spoke based on divine signals received from God and it’s surprising that the prophecy came to pass in this manner.

For a party to rule for 58 years, it is almost impossible to take power from such a party and this is what makes the prophecy of Primate Ayodele unique.

If the president had listened to Primate Ayodele, maybe he would have tried to work on some of the things that later made him lose the election but as usual of politicians, they ignore prophetic warnings and regret later when they happen.

It would also be recalled that in October 2023, Primate Ayodele warned the incumbent president to be careful so that he wouldn’twas shoot himself in the leg and face betrayal in the election that held yesterday.

These were his words

‘’The incumbent president of Botswana must pray for good health and God’s divine help. The country should pray against disease outbreaks and the prevention of border crises. The president will have a tough time because he will shoot himself with an unpopular policy. I see their currency becoming weaker. Investors will dump the country. They need to be careful of external attack, the president will be betrayed.’’

Sadly, some of the president’s policies led to his loss, as Primate Ayodele warned him.
