The Lagos State House of Assembly
has reacted to reports making rounds of plans to impeach the State
governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, over his decision to seek re-election.
The Chief Press Secretary to the
speaker, Musibau Razak on Tuesday denied the claim.
He said there was no iota of
truth in the speculation trending on social media that the Speaker was acting
on instructions to initiate impeachment proceedings against Governor Ambode.
Razak emphasised that the
relationship between the Governor and Speaker is “smooth and solid”.
“The news of impeachment is
political. A lot of information is being circulated here and there but there is
no iota of truth in the report.
“Claims to initiate impeachment
proceedings against Governor Ambode are false as the relationship between the
Governor and Speaker is smooth and solid,” Razak told Daily Trust.
This is coming at a time report
emerged that Governor Ambode’s quest to be re-elected as Lagos State Governor
for a second term may be facing major obstacle as over 50 council chairmen
loyal to Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Ambode’s estranged godfather met and pledged their
support for Jide Sanyaolu Sanwonolu, who is believed to be Tinubu’s preferred
choice.
