Senator Mohammed Danjuma Goje representing Gombe Central has come under attack over his utterances that Lagos State House of as a rubber stamp of the executive led by Governors of the state over the years.

Doyin Johnson, who is the National Chairman of Nigeria Agents of Change and National Vice/Zonal Chairman South West; Coalition of. APC Support Groups, an amalgamation of all APC certified and registered support groups nationwide, said that ”it is high time we call a spade a spade. The major problem of Nigeria at the present Nigeria democratic government is the bad eggs in the National Assembly.

Johnson said at the press briefing in Lagos on Friday that Senator Goje is a confused fellow that lack focus and leadership qualities combined with greed based on his response to belittle Lagos State House of Assembly as rubber stamp signature because he was accused of abracadabra style when he shortchanged National Budget on the roads in the ministry supervised by Mr. Babatunde Fashola, former Governor of Lagos state.

Doyin said Goje should not switch to confrontation but to explain to Nigerians why he manipulated the 2017 budget as accused by the minister in other to reduce the performance and achievement of APC government lead by President Mohammadu Buhari.

“It is a known fact that Nigeria’s roads are in dilapidated conditions which used to claim over 30 lives on daily bases. The conditions of these roads need urgent attention

“Goje and his cohorts should not because of selfish interest or political greed put Nigerians lives at risk at this point in time.

“We have lost many lives like thatof Abubakar Rimi, Comrade Chima Ubani and many others all to the road accidents, while many sustained lifetime injuries.

“Goje must publicly apologize to Lagosians and the entire nation at large for his reckless action most especially on the budget padding,” he said.

Doyin said further that Nigerians have known the enemies that does not want the change agenda of APC to work for the betterment of the nation

He accused Goje as an agent of doom who is ready to destroy at all costs for his personal political ambition.

“Goje should tell Nigerians his achievements the bills he sponsored as one of the members of Gombe State House of Assembly between 1979 to 1983, likewise his laudable achievements as minister under former president Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor of Gombe state for good 10 years all together. We should not forget that Goje was expelled from APC in July 2015 by Gombe state chapter of the party on the ground of Anti party activities..

“We Lagosians and true agents of change shall not condole the activities of miscreants in the National Assembly. We have given them enough time of misbehaviours

“NASS has no power to reduce or add to the budget but to approve the usage and call the minister or whoever in charge to come for defense of his or her budget

“I challenge Goje to tell us reasons  our budgets of 2016 and 2017 have problems on his table. Nigeria needs clarification on how Danjuna Goje emerged as chairman of  Senate Committee on Appropriation with his education background as a political scientist  not accountant , while other senators are just mere members of Census Committee.

“Lagos State House of Assembly and the state government have outstanding performance from 1999 to date which can never  be compared to any state assembly in West Africa. So if Goje does not want his case to be like the goat that goes to lions house and continue to brag, he must apology to the Lagos House of Assembly and Nigeria at large with special amendment on the budget to accommodates all the included roads for repair and maintenancein Nigeria in 2017 budget.
