Politics Ambode Speaks Over Sack of Lagos Chaplain

[ProfRem]

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has said that the sacked Lagos state Chaplain has nothing to with his wife and purely decision of the Governing Council of the church.

The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde disclosed this to Punch Newspapers correspondent.

He said, “The former chaplain had been queried a number of times in the past for conducts unbecoming of his office. The culmination of various indiscretions led to the Governing Council of the church issuing yet another query that led to his being relieved of his post.

“This has got nothing to do with the First Lady. The Chaplain is looking for an excuse to cover his insouciance. It’s nothing but cheap blackmail.”

PUNCH gathered that despite pleadings from church leaders and other reputable elders in the church, the government was said to have insisted that the cleric must leave the church.

It was reported that Taiwo had angered the Governor’s wife, Bolanle Ambode, who had visited the chapel on Sunday, May 14, when the church held an anointing service.

The church is under the Lagos State Ministry of Home Affairs, while the Office of the Lagos State First Lady supervises church.

Trying to cover face. Why was Mrs. Ambode's case the last straw which broke the camel's back?

Imagine if it was Dame Patience Jonathan. They'd sack the pastor, the choir, the ushers and close the church down for good

They bring every reason that led to the sack of the cleric to light so that we will understand his side. If not there is act of blackmail there.
