Stakeholders in Amuwo Odofin under the aegis of Amuwo Odofin Stakeholders Consultative Forum, AOSCF, have begun legal proceedings to recall Mrs. Mojisola Kehinde Alli Macaulay, representing Amuwo Odofin Constituency One (1), in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
In a statement signed issued on Saturday in Lagos and signed by Amb. Kingsley Nwanze Convener Amuwo Odofin Intelligenstia and Comr. Gbenga N. Akinbinu Coordinator NYCN, Amuwo Odofin Chapter, the group noted that it woke up to see a spiral video where she alleged that Nigerian youths are high on hard drugs, which according to her has resulted in the sudden consciousness of Nigerian youths on the social media.
Expressing displeasure he group said “This statement is not only inciting but also callously targeted at maligning the good intentions of peaceful Nigerian youths in birthing a Nigeria that works in the interest of all her citizens”.
“We would like to state emphatically, that we are not in support of destruction of properties by hoodlums. It is on record that Amuwo Odofin youths protected all business premises within the Local Government and they were highly commended by well-meaning Nigerians including the Executive Chairman of the Local Government Council, Engr (Dr) Valentine Oluwaseyi Buraimoh”.
The Statement reads in part:
It is unfortunate that our representative at the Lagos State House of Assembly did not have a good grasp of the positive contributions of Amuwo Odofin youths during the crisis that ravaged other parts of Lagos State.
It is more saddening to hear that our representative is joining a band wagon in
regulating the social media space for selfish reasons. Nigerian youths are
synonymous with the social media and that has been the only available platform to vent their frustrations and misgivings about government irresponsibility.
Our representative made attempt to draw comparison with the United
Kingdom on mitigating youth unemployment. But unfortunately, she did not mention the several cushioning programs designed by the United Kingdom government to mitigate the challenges resulting from youth unemployment.
We seize this opportunity to inform the global community and Nigerian populace that our representative has not in any way made attempt to sponsor or support bills aimed at addressing youth unemployment in Lagos State.
The following under-listed are the grounds for her immediate recall from the Lagos State House of Assembly;
1. She does not have functional constituency office as required by law within
the constituency for almost two years in office.
2. She has not prepared any bill aimed at improving the lives of her constituents and by extension Lagos State.
3. Her continuous representation is totally against the wellbeing of her
constituents.
4. It was widely circulated on major social media platforms that she used
COVID-19 palliative items as gifts at her last birthday party.
5. She has refused to give her account of stewardship at the Lagos State House
of Assembly since she assumed office.
6. She has also religiously remained inaccessible since she assumed office.
These grounds have given impetus to the commencement of legal proceedings
in recalling her as our representative at the Lagos State House of Assembly.
This document is signed on behalf of the good people of Amuwo Odofin
Stakeholders Consultative Forum.
