Lagos APC praise Ambode for improving state’s security architecture

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos State has thrown its massive weight behind Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for making the issue of security of lives and property in Lagos the number one priority.

The party says that with the massive procurement of security equipment, the state has served warning to all criminals that they have no hiding place in Lagos.
In a statement issued in Lagos by the State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, the party said Governor Ambode has shown through actions and deeds that he takes the matter of security of more than 20 million Lagosians damned too serious and will stop at nothing to make Lagos the most secured state in Nigeria.
It urges the police and all other security agencies to compliment the efforts of the state government by redoubling efforts to totally rout criminals from Lagos.
“Given the huge resources expended to acquire these security gadgets we have no doubt in our mind that the Governor is aware that without security life will be meaningless for Lagosians. Good governance, peace, creation of jobs, and development of infrastructure to meet with the exponential growth of the population would have been put in jeopardy without functional security of lives and properties.
“With what Lagosians saw on display last Friday in the seat of government in Alausa Lagos, it is clear that Governor Ambode has issued a stern warning to criminals and hoodlums to leave or perish. It is a clear signal that it is no longer business as usual for criminals in Lagos who may try to test the will of the present state government . It is a final push to flush out undesirable elements and put an end to smashing of glasses and robbing of commuters at traffic gridlocks within the metropolis.
“We are indeed delighted that that the Lagos State government, ably led by Governor Ambode has risen to the occasion to tackle the problem head on, being responsive and responsible when the need is greatest. We are delighted that the man on the driver’s seat in Lagos has shown that leadership goes with responsibility. Lagosians demand nothing else.
“We have no doubt in our mind that all Lagosians and all the security personnel will work in tandem to reduce crimes to the barest minimum knowing full well the power of teamwork and collectivity. The security agencies need information, they need co-operation , they need support and encouragement of all and sundry to deal with this great job which is very engaging, very tasking and very demanding. We therefore charge Lagosians to provide the needed civilian compliment for our security agencies to excel in protecting us by coming forth with information needed to apprehend and rout criminals in Lagos. We assure the rebranded state security outfit will guarantee the security and confidentiality of Lagosians as we give the police the necessary cooperation to rid the state of criminals”.

Ice Prince preaches against pre-marital sex

*Ice Prince Zamani Ice Prince may have learnt one or two lessons from having a child outside wedlock as the young man, perhaps from experience, advised students of the University of Lagos against having pre-marital sex. At the MTV Base Suga Tour where the singer was one of the artistes that performed, Ice Prince thrilled the students and other guests with hits from his albums, making them dance and dance as they sang along with him. Amid the fun, some of the students inflated condoms and turned them into balloons and started tossing them around the auditorium. It was then Ice Prince caught one of the condom turned balloons and started preaching against pre-marital sex. His advice was well accepted but it didn’t stop one or two of the students talking about Ice Prince being a father. “This guy thinks we don’t know that he has a child outside wedlock or does he think we would have forgotten so quickly. I think he should have given himself this advice before impregnating a w...
