Distinguished readers, welcome to our weekly leadership engagement series. Today, I am prematurely discussing the Supreme Court judgement in the Akeredolu’s case. #LeadershipTalks
I so describe it as 'premature’ because the official copy of the judgment is yet to be released for one to digest the content and issue an authoritative opinion thereon.
Consequently, to a large extent, all commentators are issuing speculative opinions. In this regard, pending the release of the official copy, I will only discuss seemingly obvious portion as it relates to the issue submitted before the court.
Ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant evening to you all my readers. Today, I am engaging us on the controversial issue of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) leadership. In the last one week, the issue has been trending in various forms. #LeadershipTalks
I am fascinated into the discussion by the age of the nominated chair who is forty years old.
I had the privilege of becoming a Commissioner in the Lagos State cabinet at the age of about thirty-three and spent twelve years in service as the youngest member of the State Executive Council. This propelled my interest in the subject.
Distinguished readers, you are welcome to today’s episode of our #LeadershipTalks. I am addressing events unfolding as the aftermath of the #Endsars protests.
The issues that led to the protest and the impacts are known to us all, hence I do not intend to bore you with the story again.
However, I must intimate us with the fact that there is a clear distinction between the Endsars protesters and those who perpetrated all manners of crimes in the process.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our engagement today. My inquiry takes me to the question of social Register in Nigeria. Majority of Nigerians recently learnt of the existence of a register for Nigerians. #LeadershipTalks
When and how the register was compiled shocked many Nigerians. Interestingly, such a crucial document upon which the lives of majority of the citizens living below two dollars per day are meant to be catered for is strange to them.
It was not a until COVID-19 exposed our responses to the plight of the vulnerable and poor people that we suddenly learnt of such compilation.
Today, the 23rd of January, 2019, I watched with amazement the lamentation of INEC on the continuous degeneration of voter apathy. The figures revealed a steady decline in the number of voters in each successful election since the year 1999. #LeadershipTalks
The story, for me, is not in the decline but the seemingly pretentious ignorance of INEC as per the factors responsible for the apathy. #LeadershipTalks
Honestly, I am in a state of stupor as to the feigned ignorance of INEC as per the reasons for the apathy. I find it difficult to believe that INEC has not done a diagnosis of the challenge much less a prognosis. #LeadershipTalks
Colleagues on this platform, as agreed last week, we are discussing recall process today and if space permits, impeachment process as it relates to the executive. #LeadershipTalks
This is consequent upon our agreement that where the legislators fall short of our constitutional expectation of them, there is the ultimate remedy, as electorates, before the end their tenure to have recourse to. #LeadershipTalks
By the combined provisions of the Nigerian constitution, any legislator, be it at the State houses of Assembly or the National Assembly can be removed from office in the following manner. #LeadershipTalks
