Governor Ambode Presents 2019 Budget To Lagos House Of Assembly

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has arrived the State
House of Assembly to present the 2019 budget for the state
The budget presentation comes barely two days after the national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC)Bola Tinubu brokered
peace between the governor and the Lagos State lawmakers.
The lawmakers had initially threatened to impeach the governor
over alleged gross misconduct, including alleged spending before
budget approval.
Recall that after a meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Committee
(GAC), in Lagos on Sunday, Tinubu had said: “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.”
Tuesday’s budget presentation prevented the Governor Ambode
from joining the APC’s presidential rallies in Ekiti and Ondo States.
