A Lagos lawmaker, Honourable Temitope Adewale, has described the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the pillar of Nigeria’s democracy and architect of modern Lagos.
He said that if the presidency is zoned to the
Southwest, Tinubu remains the best for it.
Adewale, who said this on Monday in Lagos at his First
Annual Ramadan Lecture and Special Prayer Session for Asiwaju Tinubu and the
Speaker of the State’s House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, added that
the APC National Leader has what it takes to move the country forward.
Speaking on the topic of the lecture tagged: “How Can
We Eliminate Poverty and Insecurity?” the lawmaker acknowledged that poverty
and insecurity are two critical problems facing Nigeria, adding that
unemployment breeds insecurity in the country.
Adewale advised youths to take up professional skills
and never rely on politics to survive, adding that government should encourage
entrepreneurship and make policies that would benefit the grassroots.
He charged President Buhari to ensure that the
security apparatus in the country are effective.
The lawmaker while applauding Governor Babajide
Sanwo-Olu for his efforts in providing jobs for the teeming youths and securing
Lagos, called for state police.
“Once we decentralized policing, we will have
effective and robust police institution that can garner information to tackle
insecurity within the states,” he added.
Earlier, the Guest Lecturer and Chief Missionary of
Muslim Community in Ifako/Ijaiye local government, Imam Shuaib Atata, said poverty
is human-made problem of the society, advising Nigerians to acquire relevant
skills that would take them out of poverty.
Atata said it would be suicidal for people to rely on politicians for survival, adding that political office holders sometimes might overwhelmed by their regular financial demand.
