The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has called on the governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode to terminate the service of Alpha Beta Consulting from Lagos State revenue collection service.
The party says that it is making this call due to the controversies that the company have been enmeshed in; from the allegations of fraud, to over-charge and the claims that the company is been used as conduit pipe to send public money into private pockets.
ADP through its Lagos Spokesman, Prince Adelaja Adeoye said that Governor Ambode must prove that his loyalty lies with Lagosians and not some vested interests who are hell bent on milking the state dry, stressing that the insertion of Alpha Beta into the Land Use Act was a deliberate move to legitimize the hold of some greedy private individuals on Lagos contrary to the watery excuses given by the spokesman of Lagos State House of Assembly that the insertion was an error.
ADP says that Lagos State must cultivate the culture of transparency, commitment and loyalty to residents. The party says that information in public domain has it that Alpha Beta receives close to 30% service charge on all collections on behalf of the Lagos State government. The ADP regards this as outrageous and an open affront to the residents of the state if the allegations are founded.
ADP wonders why Lagosians must be subjected to such huge service charges, a service that could be perfectly rendered by commercial banks for far less. It says that unless the Lagos state government is out to empower cronies, Alpha Beta should be laid off with immediate effect.
ADP says that the governor should look into the books of Alpha Beta to know how much that has been collected on behalf of Lagos State since they came on board and this should be published on the Lagos State website for the public to scrutinize it.
The party states that they were aware of an insertion of one VisionScape, a private waste management company into the environmental act which was later removed in the final draft when the actors sensed that there will be public outrage. The party wonders why a Dubai company should be considered for waste management when there are effective Nigerian companies that can do same comfortably.
ADP says that the governor should not mortgage the state to companies owned by some private individuals. Adelaja says that establishments such as the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) who recently jacked up toll fees despite series of protests and public outcry are positioned just to milk the residents dry.
The party also charged Governor Ambode to set up a panel of inquiry to investigate the allegations that some property belonging to Lagos State have been converted to private use by some individuals.
The ADP has however assured Lagosians that they will do things differently if given the opportunity in 2019 and that all the anti-people policies put in place by APC led government will be reviewed and booted out to be replaced by pro-people policies. The party tells Lagosians that unless they vote differently in the coming elections, the hegemony being experienced in Lagos will continue unabated.

Whoever will campaign to terminate Alpha Beta contract in 2019 will win the election. Lagos state is run like a criminal cartel,with a godfather at the helm of affairs,who appoints his puppets and makes them funnel money to his various front companies like Alpha Beta and Visionscape.

Shame

I agree,only a few people are feeding fat on the nation.And they drop a few crumbs from their loots with local agberos,market women and road transport unions to maintain their power and help them rig the elections.

SECONDED

Let's not DECIEVE ourselves, let's call names...

AMBODE SHOULD TERMINATE THE LAND USE CHARGE CONTRACT WITH BOLA TINUBU AND COMPANY

Ambode is just a stooge doing Tinubu bidding.

Lagos will be free if we elect another party and freed from tinubu blood sucking demands.

FTC oh sorry

Even if we start regional government this is one of the things they will be using to rub the citizens. They will divert the public funds to private pockets.

Future impossible tense . When kanu said nigeria was a zoo pple vex

This headline is funny. How can Tinubu newspaper carry a news calling for termination of contract with company allegedly owned by him? Lol.

Lagos is like a bottle of soft drink in the hands of tinubu. He sucks it with straw on a daily basis.

I have one joy, he won't be buried in 2 places at the same time when he dies and none of this billions will go with him in the grave.

I hereby, with the power vested on me declare that in addition to their own wealth, all the illegal money Tinubu is hoarding both home and abroad will be spent by my sons and daughters according to the scriptures in Jesus name....Amen

Ambode is the principal...Tinubu is the proprietor

They mean alphabet letters, bt what are we going to be using if we sell alphabet letters

The fear of Jagaban is the beginning of Ambode's Wisdom...So this request may be difficult for ambode cos Alpha Beta is already in Lagos constitution even before Ambode became governor.

Ehy

alldbest:

Alpha Beta has existed since Fashola was in power. Tinubu not only gave himself the world's best life pension,he also made sure he will collect 30% of Lagos state tax revenues through Alpha Beta for life and tried recently to do the same with the collection of the land use tax.

Well am not surprised because Tinubu has held Lagos to ransom.He is the brain behind the creation of Apc, he appoints whoever he thinks is deemed fit to follow his orders.
Most Lagos governors are more like a puppet or figure head Tinubu has Lagos captive.

Gbam!!

Tinubu is still controlling and running Lagos.His is a god father.

This was Tinubu's plans for Nigeria but the Fulani cabals weren't willing to share. They wanted to loot alone.

BAT is nothing but a greedy thief.
PMB is nothing but a corrupt delusional hypocrite.

This happening in an election year is simply political suicide for APC.

I wonder why PDP and co.are not taking advantage?
