Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has arrived the State House of Assembly to present the 2019 budget for the state
The
budget presentation comes barely two days after the national leader of
the All Progressives Congress (APC)Bola Tinubu brokered peace between
the governor and the Lagos State lawmakers.
The lawmakers
had initially threatened to impeach the governor over alleged gross
misconduct, including alleged spending before budget approval.
Recall
that after a meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Committee (GAC), in
Lagos on Sunday, Tinubu had said: “We examined the grievances on both
sides. As leaders, we also looked into areas where there has to be
compromise.
“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.”
Tuesday’s budget presentation prevented the
Governor Ambode from joining the APC’s presidential rallies in Ekiti and
Ondo States.
