Lagos PDP Celebrates Nigeria's 63rd Independence Anniversary ...Laments Current Hardship On Nigerians Generally, Lagosians In Particular

 





On the occasion of Nigeria's 63rd Independence Anniversary, the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has extended its warm felicitations to the resilient residents of Lagos State.

The party recalled that 63 years ago, Nigeria stepped into a new era of sovereignty, with Lagos at its heart, symbolized by the transition from the British Union Jack to the vibrant Green White Green Nigerian flag.

The party said in a statement signed on its behalf by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon Hakeem Amode, and dated Saturday September 30, 2023, that Lagos State, beyond its historical significance, "stands today as the thriving epicenter of commerce and industry, contributing significantly to our nation's growth, but with clueless and heartless Leaders since the return of democracy in 1999."

"However, as true Lagosians with high level of resilience, we celebrate this moment with deep pride, owing to the challenges we have overcome. 

"As a party, we firmly believe that our most significant achievements are yet to be realized and Lagosians would soon feel the impart of a PDP government in no distance future.

"This anniversary prompts us to reflect on our shared history, assess our present circumstances, and envision a future of boundless possibilities. Our optimism fuels our commitment to dedicated leadership, propelling us toward the state's untapped potential," Amode said.

The State Publicity Secretary added that while challenges persist, "the gift of life allows us to join the nation in marking this milestone. As we look ahead, we are resolute in our belief that under capable leadership of the PDP, Lagos State will achieve unparalleled heights of prosperity and fulfillment."

According to him, "Lagosians deserve an elevated quality of life, and we assert that, with prudent governance, we will harness our abundant resources for the betterment of all. Although the road ahead may seem long, the PDP stands ready to lead, steering the state toward comprehensive human and infrastructure development.

"Once again, happy independence anniversary to all, and we extend our heartfelt wishes for continued joy in this special celebration."

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
