Joseph Omoniyi
Former governor of Lagos State and All Progressives Congress, chieftain, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has intervened in the ongoing conflict between the Lagos State House of Assembly and the state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Recall that there had been reports of impeachment process against the governor, by members of the state house.
The development, however, took a new turn after Tinubu held a closed-door meeting with members of the House led by the Speaker, Obasa and Governor Ambode on Sunday.
The APC chieftain said the conflict has been finally resolved, “We looked at the source of the conflict, which is normal in a democracy, and that is why there are also conflict-resolution mechanisms.
“We examined the grievances on both sides. As leaders, we also looked into areas where there has to be compromised.”
“In order to build institutions and encourage consensus-building, we have to do what is right.”
“There is no impeachment. Let there be more communication and consensus-building and understanding. All these are inbuilt in the democratic system.
“We thank the Speaker and the leadership of the House. We thank the Governor and the Deputy Governor.
“They have all demonstrated respect for the party leadership in Lagos. You know when Lagos sneezes, other areas catch a cold.
“We are happy that we are able to resolve the conflict and things will start moving well going forward.”
