Group Seeks EFCC, ICPC’s Synergy in Ambode’s Probe
POLITICS DIGEST – A Lagos based pro-democracy organisation, Pan Lagos Youth Movement (PYM), has thrown its weight behind the Lagos State House of Assembly over its invitation of the immediate past governor, Akinwumi Ambode, to appear before it to clarify some issues concerning his administration.
In addition, the group also wanted all anti-corruption agencies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to wade in to support the legislative house in order to succeed in its desired motives of ascertaining how Ambode’s administration handled the affairs of the state.

The movement, in a statement from its coordinator, Omolola Olukayode, said it was not out of place for the House of Assembly to invite any group or individuals with a view to finding out the state of things concerning public interest.
The movement’s leader, who believed that the invitation was not a witch-hunting exercise, reminded that some organisations have been clamouring for the probe of the immediate past administration with a view to clarifying some knotty issues concerning the state finances under it for four years.
According to him, Ambode would do himself and others so invited a great deal of good, saying the invitation was in line with the thinking of greater percentage of all the people of goodwill in the state to know how the state under him fared.
