Open Letter to his Excellency, Governor Akinwumi Ambode

Written by Egbeolowo-Ridwan-OLaitan

Your Excellency Sir, may you live long and achieve the stated aims and objective that will transform and transmute Lagos State in years to come.

I write as a bonafide Citizen of Nigeria, I write as a true descendant of Oduduwa, I write as one who feel the pains of the people, I write as a political and social animal.

It is very sad to know about thongoing crises at IGBO-OLOMU area of ISAWO, IKORODU, LAGOS which has kept the people living in this environment in an abject ululation and fear of the unknown. It is no more news that the IJAWS are the Enigma Terrorizing this Area in the course of their Egocentric Benefit which has cost some peoples life while some were forced to flee due to the disorderly outburst that greeted the area. The Lagos State Government as a matter of urgency and Exigency just now need to show more than a Complacent, more than a Lethargic, more than a Passive interest on the Security Imbroglio that wet into the IGBO-OLOMU area of ISAWO, IKORODU ,LAGOS.

The Security and Welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government as diaphanously spelt out in the 1999 constitution Section14(2b) which I believe to be the utmost priority to Lagos State Government.

I am pleading to you Sir, not on the ground that you are not doing well as the number one citizen of Lagos State, as the Father of the State but am pleading to you Sir on the inimical and exigent situation that is now a cankerworm in IGBO-OLOMU area of ISAWO. As a matter of Fact SIR, Fear of the unknown is now the order of day From ISAWO road to IGBO-OLOMU junction. And also, am very happy to also use this opportunity to crave your indulgence that the deadly sect have just move to the level of kidnapping people in demand for ransom in order to upgrade their financial system since the oil business is not yieiding much as expected.

Finally, I would implore the Lagos State Government not to take or handle the uncovered injustice orchestrated and animated by the IJAWS with Levity hand in order to safeguard life and property of the people before it get out of hand otherwise "KILE TO PA OSIKA,OHUN RERE ATI BAJE" I beg u once again my amiable Governor to make hay while the sun shine and strike while the iron is hot "so that the daughters of the Philistines can rejoice" your Excellency Sir, following your antecedent and pedigree we believe you can do it, we know you; we believe and assume you to be the political Moses that would take us to the Promise Land.

Eko oni baje ooooo..o baje ti!
