Just In : Obasa Opens Up On ‘Fight’ With Sanwo-Olu, Rejection Of Lagos Commissioner-Nominee
Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, emphasized that the legislature is not “fighting” with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
About a week before his remarks, the Lagos State House of Assembly had rejected 17 of the 39 commissioner nominees that Sanwo-Olu had for consideration.
No matter the threats made by some, according to Obasa, who presided over the plenary session on Monday, the Assembly will not divulge what it learned while screening the commissioner-nominees it rejected.
The Speaker stated that he is working to defend the All Progressives Congress (APC), his party.
“So, I am trying to protect my party and I would continue to do that but we are not going to sacrifice service to our people in the name of technocrats, no.
“If anybody is interested to know why we have taken such decision, he should approach the House.
“The House, as a body, restrains itself from exposing what was discovered during the screening exercise and we would not be forced to spill it,” Obasa said.
