The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has had an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari over plea for presidential pardon for former Governor of Old Bendel State (now Edo and Delta States), late Prof. Ambrose Alli.

The President has subsequently instructed the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to begin the process.

Governor Obaseki disclosed this during the Memorial Service held in honour of late Prof. Alli at the Saint Ambrose Catholic Church, in Emaudo, Ekpoma on Saturday, September 22, 2018.

He said he is optimistic that at the next meeting of the Council on Prerogative of Mercy, the President will officially grant the pardon.

Obaseki also assured that he is working with his Delta State counterpart to set modalities to ensure that pension due to late Alli will be paid to his widow and the family.

The governor lauded the former governor’s development strides while he held sway as the governor of what is now Delta and Edo States, noting that the feats are not just intimidating but showed how much can be achieved in just one term in office.

According to him, “I had an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari while in China and discussed the issue of a presidential pardon for late Prof. Alli and the president asked me to meet with the Attorney General of the Federation. This I have done and have also written to him.”

Delta State Governor, Mr. Ifeanyi Okowa said Delta State will continue to remember Alli for developing the state and has a lot to thank him for. “We are grateful, as his developmental strides can still be seen, years after his death,” he said.

The former governor’s eldest son, Mr. Andrew Folorunso Alli, who is the Ezomo of Ekpoma, regretted that his late father was still termed a criminal despite his contributions to the development of Delta and Edo states and Nigeria.

First to comment again ,Glo is the secret

Buhari is a failure ,he wants to scam we Yoruba by honoring MKO, we Osun have been doing him strong thing with the result of Saturday poll.

Edo & Delta people won't fall for this scam,

GEJ that his adminstration isn't worst like this was given red card.

Back2Daura will be a goal

Matters arising....

I know he did a lot to develop bendel state and he even had a university named after him

But What did he do to be branded a criminal by Pa buhari in the first place?

stagger:


Everyone who was close to that situation knew that Ambrose Alli did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be branded a criminal. Anyone who went to school in then Bendel State and enjoyed the free education, free exercise books, free textbooks of the UPN governments know that Ambrose Alli sacrificed his life, career and all for Bendel State. He died a broken, blind and ailing Professor.

But guess what? A certain Major General Muhammadu Buhari and his Supreme Military Council threw Ambrose Alli, Bisi Onabanjo, Lateef Jakande, and other UPN and NPP governors such as Sam Mbakwe, Solomon Lar and Jim Nwobodo in prison. He also threw Alex Ekwueme in prison and then proceeded to jail Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor under Decree 4. We still do not know how many unlucky others were served similar or worse fates by the NSO.

Meanwhile Shehu Shagari was set free and the Kwara guy (I think his name was Aliyu Atta) was "jailed" in a hospital bed.

Tell me, between 1984/85 and what we are seeing today, what has changed?

Looks like I have my answer

All because of election Buharry is getting desperate day by day.....


Your desperation will further lead you to Duara...nothing less

Igbayilaaro? After 29 years

BUHARI IS THE ONE NEEDS TO BE PARDONED

Ambrose Folorunsho Alli (22 September 1929 – 22 September 1989) was a Nigerian medical professor who served as Executive Governor of the defunct Nigerian state of Bendel (now the Nigerian states of Edo and Delta ) between 1979 and 1983. He was the first civilian governor.

#Background

Ambrose Folorunsho Alli was born in Idoani, Ondo state on 22 September 1929. In his childhood he moved between Oka-Odo, Ekpoma, Owo, Efon-Alaye, Benin City and Asaba, where he completed his secondary education in 1948. He attended the School of Agriculture Ibadan (1948) and the School of Medical Technology, Adeoyo Hospital Ibadan (1953–1960) where he gained an MBBS. He served as a house office at the Adeoyo hospital from 1960 to 1961. He went to the United Kingdom for a post-graduate course in neuropathology at the University of London (1961–1966), gaining a D.C. Pathology degree. Later he studied at the University of Birmingham from 1971 to 1974.

He was a lecturer at the University of Ibadan (1966–1969) and was senior lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (1969–1974). From 1974 to 1979, Alli was Professor of Morbid Anatomy and head of the department of pathology at the University of Benin, Benin City.

#Political #Career

Following his academic posts, he was elected the Governor of Bendel state, and later founded "Bendel state University" now "Ambrose Alli University", Ekpoma. Many campuses in Ekpoma, Abraka and Asaba were established during his tenure. However, with the creation of Delta State by the administration of Gen. Babangida, the University became two Universities, namely Delta State University, Abraka and Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, posthumously named after him. Ambrose Alli was a member of the constituent assembly that drafted the 1978 Nigeria constitution. He joined the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) and ran successfully as UPN candidate in the Bendel State governorship election of 1979. He brought massive development to Bendel in different sectors, from the establishment of numerous post-primary schools and tertiary institutions, and massive construction of roads and housing. His main thrust as governor was to increase educational opportunities. He established over 600 new secondary schools, and abolished secondary school fees. Apart from the establishment of the University, he also established various colleges of Education in Ekiadolor near Benin City, Agbor, Warri, Ozoro and Agbor, and three Polytechnics, with a college of agriculture and fishery proposed for Agenebode. He also established four teachers training colleges to supply staff to the new schools, as well as several other higher educational institutions. In 1981 he laid the foundation of the Bendel State University, which is now named the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma. Other reforms included abolishing charges for services and drugs at state-owned hospitals and eliminating the flat-rate tax. His administration carried out massive construction of roads to open up the rural areas. In the housing sector he built low cost housing estates in Ugbowo, Ikpoba Hill in Benin City, and Bendel Estates in Warri. As Governor, he always wore sandals, joking that he was so busy working in Government House that he never had time to buy shoes for himself.

#Later #Career

When Ambrose Alli left office in 1983, he retired to his family house. After the military government of Major-General Muhammadu Buhari took power, he was sentenced to 100 years in prison by a military tribunal for allegedly misappropriating N983,000 in funds for a road project. He was later freed when the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, paid a fine to the government. He finally got released from the Prison after the fine amount of one million naira was remitted by chief igbinedion. After the release he was hosted by sir chief Dr.Ezekiel A.Ainabe. Local Government council Ekpoma honoured Prof.Alli by launching his statue. Prof.Alli sacrificed his life for the people of Nigeria. In order to pay respect and for the service rendered to the community, Dr.Ezekiel A.Ainabe erected a statue at the market square in Eguare ekpoma.

#Death

Shortly after being released from prison, Ambrose Folorunsho Alli died on his 60th birthday on 22 September 1989, at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Lagos. An annual Distinguished Leadership Lecture was later established in his honour.

RIP great leader...

He is looking for people that will vote for him.

The Man Ambrose Ali has nothing to do with all these.. He is long gone to Eternity! The Dead and Living have nothing in common..

He will still be sent packing next year...


Reminds one of what a far better man...Jonathan was doing in 2015 to avert failure at the polls.

We all know how that one panned out.

Buhari is toast...APC cannot win any free and fair election in today's Nigeria...

Pls Buhari should revamp economy and live the dead to rest in peace.

First MKO Abiola now this one Buhari is busy pardoning lifeless people like him.
Suffering those of us alive, zombie indeed.

But Why was he termed a criminal? No one calls another man a criminal for no reason at all.

I think he donated State funds to UPN, his political party

When the projects were not done in the core north you're a criminal.

Take note.

For Gabriel Igbenidion to pay 1M as at that time to free him you should know the truth.
