GBAJABIAMILA @ 60 – YOU ARE A TRUE PROGRESSIVE

Given the symbolism of the attainment of the landmark age of 60 years, especially in a life such as yours that has been exceptionally eventful and fulfilling, there is great cause for thanksgiving to Almighty God for your antecedents.

It is a joyous moment to look back at 60 years that have been packed with personal achievements and involvements as a Speaker in the House of Representative of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a pro-activist and a major progressive player on the national political scene.

I have a special affinity and admiration for men who passionately pursue the selfless path of true service and have the highest respects for men who pursue that path in the areas of socio-political engineering and penchants for a detribalized society, all these are imbedded in you, hence, I have no reluctance, therefore, to declare that, you, Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila have earned my full respect and my deep admiration as a unifier of our great nation, Nigeria.

Mr Speaker, you have always exuded charisma, carriage, dignity and honour, you are a man endowed with sheer organizational ability, administrative prowess, uncommon trouble-shooting acumen, masterful logic, foresight, and above all, the most colourful speaker in the post-Awolowo era. You are also an outstanding Yoruba Leader who have profoundly shaped and dictated the pendulum of Nigerian Politics from the hallow corner of the Green Chamber.

I have related with you closely for some years now and you struck me as a consummate Statesman / politician who is very strategic and thinks on his feet, a gallant Nigerian who continue to fight for the unity of Nigeria.

Your human capital development is alluring just as you have made personal sacrifices and deployed your socio-political experiences for the benefit of the Country. And today, you are still standing tall, desirous to offer more.

To me you remain an exceptional Nigerian citizen whose love for the society has rightly earned him a coveted seat in the highest echelons of the select group of the honoured and the blessed. I boldly say “You are a true progressive, a grassroots politician and a formidable leader of men” because your life and times have characterized exemplary leadership for the generation-next to emulate your legendary contributions to the development of our dear country.

As a lawmaker, you have remained consistent in the promulgating the tenets of democracy and you have continued to be that voice of the common man at the National Assembly. Your breed only comes on humanity once in a lifetime.

Yours is, indeed, a life truly worthy of celebration. You have attained lofty heights not just as an accomplished legal luminary, but also in your continuous committed service to communities and the country. we salute your efforts and dedication to Nation Building and National Development.

On this auspicious occasion, I congratulate, Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila on his accomplishments at 60. I wish him many more years, robust health, increased wisdom and God’s grace as he continues to impact lives of Nigerians.

Igba Odun!

Signed

MORE DETAILS AS HE WAS DOCKED
Court denies Ekweremadu and wife bail, orders them to be remanded in custody and adjourned the case till July

The Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London has denied bail to former Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice over claims that they trafficked a 15-year-old boy from Lagos to the UK with the intent to harvest his organ.

According to media report on proceedings, the prosecutors at the court this afternoon, said the Ekweremadus’ were being charged for bringing the 15-year-old boy from Nigeria to the UK with the claim that he was to be given a better life in the UK but was actually to harvest his organ. The prosecutors told the court that the former Senate President procured a passport for the boy and claimed he was 21 years old but they discovered that he was 15 years old.

The prosecutors also told the court that the Ekweremadus’ have a daughter who has a kidney-related disease and has been on dialysis for quite some time. They told the court that it is believed that the plan was to use an organ from the boy on their daughter who appears to need a kidney transplant.

Ekweremadu and his wife had separate legal representations and prayed the court to release them on bail but their prayer was however dismissed by the Magistrate. The couple has surrendered their passports to the UK government.

The couple was arrested at Heathrow airport, on their way to Istanbul, Turkey and according to the prosecutors, it is believed that they were on their way to procure another organ as they were unable to harvest the organ of the boy. The prosecutors also stated that $20, 000 was found on Mr. Ekweremadu.

Further evidence has it that, the red flag that stopped the organ from not being harvested came after the boy truthfully disclosed his age to the doctors at the Royal Free hospital in the UK. The doctor reportedly canceled the procedure. The boy was taken from family who according to the prosecutors treated him like a slave, after he escaped and found his way to the police where an investigation started, leading to the arrest of the couple.

After much deliberation, the Magistrate ordered their remand in custody till July 7 for the next hearing on the case.
