JUST IN: Ambode Hasn’t Committed Any Impeachable Offence, Says Lagos Assembly Speaker

Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly,
has dismissed rumours of plans by the House to impeach Akinwunmi
Ambode, Governor of the state.

He stated this during the plenary session of the House on
Monday.

According to Obasa, “Impeachment is constitutional and has its
process”, but the lawmakers are “not embarking on that yet”.

Proceedings of the session were contained in a post on the
Twitter handle of the Lagos House of Assembly that read: “The

impeachment of the Executive Governor @AkinwunmiAmbode. Impeachment

“We don’t need wailers to advice us on how to go about our
duties. For now, we are still working in one accord to move Lagos
forward. This is to clear the rumors.”
