Asiwaju Tinubu, APC National Leader
“We
held a meeting on behalf of entire Lagosians. In the last one week or
so, there has been some talk about a conflict between the Executive and
the Legislature in Lagos. This is of great concern to us. 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 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.
“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 cold. We are happy that we are able to resolve the conflict and
things will start moving well going forward.”
