Mr Adeyemi Ikuforiji, the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, on Tuesday said only God could determine his governorship ambition.

“As a believer, I know that when the time comes, the Almighty God will show the light and make it clear that this is your next direction and your next seat.

“No matter the noise, the plotting of the coup and counter coup, what God has destined to be, no man can stop,” Ikuforiji told newsmen in Epe, during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

He said that he became the speaker by the will of God, and that only God would determine his next political step in 2015.

He called for peaceful co-existence among Muslims and Christians, saying that both religions preach brotherliness.

“We have to be our brother’s keeper; no God ever sent anyone to go and kill on His behalf.
“We cannot say we want to serve God without serving people; God has brought us together for a purpose.
“God, in His wisdom, brought us together and we must make use of the advantage of our unity in diversity,” he said. (NAN

Pioneer Director-General of Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (Due Process Unit), Dr Oby Ezekwesili, has called on Nigerian leaders to take seriously, the corruption charges levelled against Nigeria by economy monitoring organisations, both nationally and internationally. She spoke at a forum on leadership organised by the Day Star Christian Centre in Lagos on Wednesday. According to her, if the current administration claims to be fighting corruption and rating bodies still scores the country high in graft, it means no significant progress had been made in the fight against the menace.
