Lagos lawmakers pass confidence vote in Ikuforiji
Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday in a move to douse tension over the pending case of the Speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, passed vote of confidence in its leadership, insisting they have been able to work satisfactorily despite the challenges.
The House took the decision after a motion raised by Yinka Ogundimu, Agege Constituency 2, under Matters of Urgent Public Importance.
According to Ogundimu, “My intention is very clear on this motion, based on the performance of the leadership of the House in spite of all the traumatised period, a vote of confidence is declared for Mr. Speaker and the leadership.”
Sanai Agunbiade from Ikorodu Constituency 1, cautioned his colleagues over making judgemental statement over a case that is already in court, saying “when a matter is adjourned sine die, the court still bars a public pronouncement over it.”
While reacting to Agunbiade’s comment, Deputy Speaker, Taiwo Kolawole, who presided over the proceedings, stated that the matter is still open for debate, but enjoined members to restrict themselves to the political aspect of the issue.
Mufutau Egberongbe from Apapa Constituency 1, said the country needed to be careful as a nation, as the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.
He added, “if such an institution is haunted, it is going to spell doom for the nation.”

ReplyDeleteits obvious from the attitude put up by the EFCC prosicuting councel, that they are out to act a script prepared by their pay masters. its unprecedent that the accused will be begging to be prosicuted and the prosecutor is always asking for adjounment. The Hon. members has only done the needfull to send back signals to their detractors that they are united with the mandate Lagosians willingly gave to them at the polls. carry on LAHA
