THE Lagos State House of Assembly has issued a fresh summons on
the immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to
appear before it on Wednesday.
The legislature, in the summons advertised in some newspapers
today, wants the ex-Governor to appear before the Committee of the
House by 1pm on Wednesday to say all he knows about some financial
transactions during his tenure between May 29, 2015 and May 29,
this year.
The publicized invite entitled: “Notice of summons: Mr.
Akinwunmi Ambode (the former Governor of Lagos State), is signed by
the Clerk of the House, Mr. A. A. Sanni.
It reminds Ambode of the importance of appearing before the
Committee to shed light on five-alleged infractions raised by the
Assembly.
It says: “The Lagos State House of Assembly, pursuant to Section
129 (1)(c) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria (as amended) hereby summons His Excellency, Mr.
Akinwunmi Ambode, the former Governor of Lagos State (May, 2015
– May, 2019) to appear before the Committee of the House on
Wednesday, 30th October, 2019 at the Lateef Jakande Auditorium,
Assembly Complex, Alausa, Ikeja by 1.00 p.m.”
He will be asked to clarify the following:
*Unauthorised discounting of Promissory Note;
*Purchase of 820 Buses by your administration without due
authorisation;
*Misappropriation of Special Expenditure Funds;
*Improper implementation of the Appropriation Law; and
*Non-adherence to the Financial Regulations of the State.
The notice urges the former governor to provide the Committee
with documents to justify that the transactions did not violate
constitutional provisions.
It reads: “You are kindly requested to furnish the Committee
with fifteen (15) copies each of all relevant document(s) relating
to the issues raised through the Office of the Clerk of the
House on or before Tuesday, 29th October, 2019.
“It is pertinent to state that your presence at the proposed
meeting would give you the opportunity to shed light on issues that
are material to the investigation.”
The governor had shunned an earlier summons by the Assembly on
October 15, 2019.
