Lawmakers condemn allegation against Ambode over list of council’s EXCO

-

Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, have condemned in strong term, the allegation against Governor Akinwunmi Ambode over imposition of Local Government Executive Council list, describing the statement as “malicious and misleading.” The allegation went viral on social media following an earlier statement released by the state House Assembly to commissioner.

Hon. Sanai Agunbiade, the Majority Leader of the House, in a statement over the issue, maintained that the letter from assembly had been mis-interpreted by members of the public, particularly, in the media. According to Agunbiade, ” The attention of the Lagos State House Of Assembly has been drawn to the above captioned mischief currently making the rounds especially in the print and social media.




“The sensational falsehood stems from the calculated, subjective and tainted misinterpretation and misrepresentation of a statement issued by the House of Assembly dated 3rd Nov 2017 with reference No LSHA/FAD/O/155/82 directed to the state Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon Muslim Folami. “The said letter was solely predicated at guiding the newly positioned Chairmen of councils on the need for appropriate procedure as well as intimating them with the relevant provisions of the operational administrative guidelines which require the approval of the legislative arms of the respective councils to validate appointments into the local government executive committees. 

“This was deemed necessary to avoid  unnecessary bickering and unpleasant corollaries that might be the consequences of an abridged process or procedure. “It is needless to say that the Lagos State House of Assembly has unreserved esteem and regards for the office and person of the Governor and the thoughtful guidance routinely issued was not in any way intended to denigrate, dissipate or disrupt   the processes but rather to enrich, enhance and further establish democratic tenets and institutions by ensuring that the principles of checks and balances are replicated in the renascent Local Government system.
