National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu and other leaders of the party in Lagos State have disclosed that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode would not be impeached.
Tinubu gave the assurance yesterday at a meeting of Governor’s Advisory Committee (GAC) held to resolve the perceived conflict between Governor Ambode and the state House of Assembly under the leadership of Mudashiru Obasa.
He urged the legislative and executive arm of government to shelve their grievance and move the state forward.
Tinubu asked for effective communication, consensus building and understanding, noting: “all these are inbuilt in the democratic system.”
He said: “There has been some talk about a conflict between the Executive and the Legislature. 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.”
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, his deputy, Dr. Idiat Adebule, House of Assembly Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, and his Deputy, Wasiu Esinlokun, also attended the meeting.
