Ambode’s Name Excluded From Lagos Governor Advisory Council List …See Amended GAC Members Name.
Former Governor, Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode
Barely a year after the highest advisory political organ of Lagos chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), banned Internal groups within the party, the council has adjusted the membership list with the immediate past governor of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode, missing out from the new membership composition.
The council’s new membership composition also confirmed the exclusion of Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Adejoke Adefulire and Adebisi Sosan, who were both ex-deputy governors that served the state between 2011 and 2015, and 2007-2011 from the GAC.
By default, Ambode, Sosan, and Adefulire’s names were expected to be included in the council since it was populated by leaders of the party drawn across the state, past governors, and their deputies.
While Ambode, Sosan, and Adefulire’s names were excluded from the new membership list, Dr. Idiat Adebule, the immediate past deputy governor, was included in the new membership list that was composed for the council.
These were outcomes of the meeting held by the council which has the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as chairman of the council that had over the years become the major advisers’ of the governor.
The reasons for the immediate past governor’s name exclusion was not mentioned during The Guild’s investigations but a source from the council, who handed our correspondent the membership list, stated that it may not be unconnected with his recent ordeal with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that have sealed three of the property linked to him over alleged financial misappropriation during his tenure as Lagos governor.
