Akinwunmi Ambode Named Best Transparency Governor by olokeded: 5:15pm On Dec 20, 2016 |
The Citizen Anti Corruption Volunteer Corps, CACVC, a non-governmental organisation, has honoured Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State for distinguishing himself in the fight against corruption, bribery and fraud in the state and Nigeria at large. The group also honoured Mudashiru Obasa, speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly and Monday Onyekachi Ubani, second vice president, Nigerian Bar Association, NBA. Others recognised by the anti-corruption group are Chris Nwaokobia, director general, Change Ambassadors of Nigeria; Great Imo Jonathan, human rights activist, and Jude Akagbusum, president, Institute of Good Governance of Nigeria. Harris Chuma, executive director, CACVC, said Governor Ambode was honoured as the best governor on transparency and good governance after a painstaking exit survey conducted by the group. He said the honour was in recognition of his sterling performance in office since the inception of his administration in 2015. “Transparency and good governance merit award, TGMA, has become a meeting point where anti corruptionists converge to brainstorm and lead discussions on varied strategies in curbing the menace of the scourge called corruption. This year marks the observance of CACVC anti corruption, bribery and fraud awareness campaigners’ day, which is set aside to raise awareness about the impact of corruption upon our society. “We are dedicated to the mission of reducing the incidence of corruption in Nigeria, estimates that a typical governmental ministry loses more than five percent of its revenue each year to corruption. States, local, and federal governments are frequent targets of fraud and corruption. An instance of fraud in government undermines the good work and reputation of all state employees who complete their assigned duties with integrity and honesty, and decreases confidence in public officials,” Chuma said. The CACVC director said the passionate resolve of his group to encourage and celebrate personalities that had exhibited utmost good faith in the renewed campaign against corruption would continue to occupy a place of interest in the overall configuration of the organisation’s annual anti corruption lecture series. Nwaokobia, who delivered a keynote address on ‘The Quest for Good Governance, the Lagos Experience’ said the country could achieve the desired good governance if it understudied Lagos State. He said Lagos under the current administration was very transparent in ensuring that it published its monthly revenue generation in the state. According to him, Governor Ambode’s engagement of the citizenry on a quarterly basis has made him to interact and understand the primary needs of the people. “This has made Lagos the best state in the country. Lagos is a state without land but it has gone into agreement with Kebbi State to produce rice for the state consumption,” he said. http://www.metronaija.com/2016/12/akinwunmi-ambode-named-best.html cc: lalasticlala mynd44 |

On behalf of all distinguished memebers of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), we strongly and sternly oppose and reject the outcome of this said recognition exercise carried out by a bias self proclaimed Non Governmental organisation called The Citizen Anti Corruption Volunteer Corps (CACVC). We reject it in all its entirety, where would you place the likes of Chief okechukwu Okezie and Chief Willie Obiano, executive Governors of Abia and Anambra respectively, the anti corruption movers in the fight against corruption in not just Nigeria but the entire African continent as a whole? Such cooked up imaginary honours are just mere woodwork awards presented to corruption agents who appear as highest bidders. This CACVC has been given a 48hours ultimatum to withdraw such embarrassing honours as this not only taints the image of the anti corruption crusade but ridicule the offices of the highly placed anti corruption personels in our great country and continents or face legal action as we will fiercely seek legal redress to address the issues of not only misrepresentation but as well misappropriation of honours and awards which in itself has become so fraudulent in our great nation (Nigeria).
