Governor Ambode pledges to present quarterly reports
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Monday unveiled plans to commence a quarterly rendering of account of stewardship of his administration to intimate Lagosians on the journey so far as well as his plans to take the state to the next level.
The Governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna, said the quarterly rendering of account which will take the form of town hall meetings, will take the government to the nooks and crannies of the state to present its account of stewardship.
“The maiden edition of our quarterly report will be rendered in the first week of October and would continue in that tradition every three months going forward. At the end of each quarter, our government would report to the people of the state on the journey so far and the task ahead,” he said.
He said his administration’s efforts in the last three months had been geared towards making sure that public institutions work in the interest of the people, alluding to the fact that public institutions had been animated to measure up to the expectations of the people of the state.
“We are committed to making the various public institutions work to the benefit of the people of the state. That, in my view, is why we were elected.
“So our government will use the town hall meetings to get feelers from the populace on how government affects them and what they want from government. The populace will also have the opportunity to know what we have been doing and what we intend to do to make the state safer, cleaner and more prosperous for all who have chosen this state as their home,” Ambode said.
*Trust U my Governor…..

Gospel singer Testimony Jaga gives Portable 3 days to apologise for slapping preacher
Testimony Jaga, the Nigerian gospel singer, has given Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologise to the preacher he slapped.
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was heavily criticised on social media on Monday for slapping the man who he claimed was preaching close to his bar.
Jaga, while joining the chorus of condemnation against Portable, said he should have reported to the right authorities if the preacher’s actions were wrong.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the gospel artiste claimed to have received divine instruction to advocate for the preacher.
He also warned Portable to issue a public apology within three days or face consequences.
“I’m giving you three days to apologise to that man,” he wrote.
“If that man Portable slapped is doing something wrong, can’t he call the law enforcement agencies to arrest him?
“Even if he does not like what the man was doing, he could have easily chased him away not slap him. That is somebody’s father, husband and uncle.
“If the pastor was a famous person who uses security guards, would he have slapped him? It is because the man has no one.
“I’m not against Portable, he might have done it out of pride but if he realises what he did, he should go and apologize to the man and make a video.
“That’s a mockery of someone’s God. Telling the man to go and call his God, is mockery. He has called his God and that’s why someone like me is talking now.
“God has told me to fight for the man. Who are we to judge anyone?”

Dammy Krane petitions police over rift with Davido, demands $500k payment
Dammy Krane has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police, over his lingering dispute with Davido.
The feud between the pair started in October 2023 after Krane called out Davido on social media, claiming he owed him for songwriting contributions.
Krane also accused the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker of sabotaging his record deal with Sony Music.
In response to the allegations, Davido labeled Krane “ungrateful” and claimed he received no payment for their collaborations. Davido also mentioned that he provided shelter and support for Krane when he was homeless.
Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017.
Davido dismissed claims and threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.
In a letter posted on his social media pages, Krane accused Davido of several wrongdoings while addressing five key concerns.
The singer alleged that Davido and his allies are threatening his life. He also called for the re-opening of Tagbo’s death case.
Krane pleaded with the inspector-general to help lift the restrictions on his bank accounts, which he claimed made it difficult for him to access his funds.
The singer also appealed to Egbetokun to get Davido to “pay me all the money he owed for the song ‘Pere’”.
He claimed Davido agreed to pay him $500,000 for their collaborative song but has refused to pay him.
