Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
The All Progressives Congress (APC),
Lagos State chapter, said it is currently working on resolving the
crisis between Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and lawmakers in the state’s
House of Assembly.
The House of Assembly had on Monday threatened
to commence impeachment proceedings against Ambode over alleged gross
misconduct, particularly with regards to the 2019 budget of the state.
The
move, however, has generated widespread criticism among Lagosians and
civil society organizations who have staged protests to the House asking
the lawmakers to rescind the decision.
Speaking in a chat
with INDEPENDENT on Saturday, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, the State Chairman
of the Party said leaders of the Party are currently working out ways to
resolve the issue as there is a need for good working relationship
between the two arms of government.
He said “On the issue between the governor and the House of Assembly, we are working towards settlement.
We
believe there must be mutual cooperation between the legislature and
the Executive. As a party, we are working towards a workable
relationship between the two bodies,” he said.
