What is curious in the recent development is the ‘military and desperado’ manner in which the Speaker and his allies moved against Jimoh and Abiru after a report allegedly indicted the leadership of the House of reckless spending. Lagos Corruption LSHA
well for the Assembly and APC Lagos State. This is more so at a time when the ruling All Progressives Congress is enmeshed in various crises both at the national and state levels. At the Lagos Assembly, the Chief Whip, Mr. Rotimi Abiru, who represents Shomolu II and Deputy Majority Leader, Mr. Olumuyiwa Jimoh, representing Apapa II were removed during Plenary on Monday 9, 2020.
In what looked like a premeditated agenda, the Assembly quickly went ahead to name two lawmakers as replacement for the affected officers that were impeached in the persons of Noheem Adams from Eti-Osa Constituency 1 while Mojisola Miranda, representing Apapa Constituency 1 was elected as the new Chief Whip.
Although the House Committee Chairman on Information, Mr. Tunde Braimoh, claimed he was not aware any car was bought last year, he has, however, been accused of being economical with the truth, as it was widely publcised that lawmakers were given cars early last year. The list of 26 members that signed the removal of the two leaders are Victor Akande, Sentoji David, Nureni Akinsanya, Noheem Adams, Saka Solaja, Lanre Afinni, Fatai Mojeed, Rotimi Olowo, Makinde Rasheed, Adedamola Kasunmu, Temitope Adewale, Desmond Elliot, and Jude Idimogu.
As a matter of fact, Abiru and Jimoh are said to be loyalists of both Oshinowo and Aregbesola. But since Tinubu is currently busy with APC’s national political intrigues, the senator representing Lagos East has been in charge of the Lagos House. Those involved in the mutiny against Obasa include forces loyal to Oshinowo: “the best form of fight is attack. Obasa and his cohorts might have taken the initiative to checkmate Abiru and Jimoh before they did the damage.
