| Ambode, Soyinka and Gbadamosi |
COALITION of Ibile Professionals has affirmed it support to
the Lagos state governor, Mr. Ambode Akinwunmi for his choice of Nobel
Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka to co-preside the Lagos at 50 Celebration
Committee.
In a statement by the Chairman of the General Secretary of
the group, Alhaji Wasiu Hassan earlier in the week, he overtly gave his ovation
for the appointment saying that the personalities of the chairmen speak volume
in the society and therefore wondered why people must wish to politicize every
policy of government adding that the likes of Soyinka all over the world are
always sought for in celebrations of such nature.
Hassan added that the state was made up of five divisions of
coordinate jurisdiction- Badagry, Ikeja, Ikorodu, Lagos Island and Epe, and
therefore condemned any form of campaign of calumny against the state
government.
“The Lagos Island division enjoyed the seat of power for the
last eight years with the cooperation of other divisions. The Coalition of
Ibile Professionals frowns at any campaign of calumny against the present
administration and its decisions.
“We believe that the Governor Akinwunmi-led government has
been successfully balancing the state affairs and appointments without leaving
any division behind.
“We should be grateful for having Chief Rasheed Gbadamosi and
Prof. Wole Soyinka appointed by a governor who has recognized their qualities
to add glamour and depth to an international event for the celebration of a
cosmopolitan city like Lagos. We must purge ourselves of narrow sentiments if
we want international communities to take Lagos seriously”, he said.
