Lagos Assembly Crisis A Matter Of Grave Concern – Inter-Party Directorate

• Says President Tinubu Deserves Second Term

The Inter-Party Affairs Directorate in Lagos State has described the crisis in the state House of Assembly, describing it as a matter of grave concern.

The Directorate, in a statement signed by Prince Adewale Samson, its Director, and Comrade ‘Shola Omolola, the Vice Chairman, made available to Sunday Independent in Lagos on Saturday, however, appealed to all the stakeholders to allow the constitution to prevail.

According to the Directorate sentiments and affiliations would not help Nigerian politics to grow to an enviable height, hence there was the need to jettison all vices that would undermine the nation’s democracy and its ethics.

It stressed: “The Directorate, however, appealed to the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) to stand firm for the democracy they fought for and sanction any member that wants to drag the group into some needless political agenda.

“They should not be found wanting in their enviable roles and should advise the governor appropriately and dispassionately.”

On President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ‘Mandate 2027 Project’, the Directorate stated: “With the successes and achievements recorded so far by the president on his Renewed Hope Agenda, he deserves a second term.

“Then group said the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is the business of all in Lagos State and the Southwest as a whole.

“We call on all our leaders to stand in now that the President is on a national duty and call everybody to come to a roundtable and make sure that Lagos flourishes in governance, infrastructure, and in all aspects so the people won’t say that PBAT’s absence has stalled governance and created a gap in our polity.

“We must work hard and make sure that we deliver Lagos to APC and PBAT in 2027.  We hereby implore Lagosians and the South West as a whole to give PBAT their overwhelming support and vote in 2027.”  

On the Renewed Hope Agenda, the Directorate said the president had surprised everybody with his drive and passion for his Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that “there is glaring evidence of better days ahead and more grounds to cover. We have no doubt in our mind that the president means well for Nigerians.

“We want to use this medium to commend PBAT on his Renewed Hope Agenda. Despite the seeming challenges, he has surpassed our expectations by taking tough decisions and working on all sectors simultaneously.

“We equally commend the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her complimentary roles in assisting the president to cover a lot of grounds so far on the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

The Directorate also commend the President’s Kitchen Cabinet, notably the Secretary to the government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; the Chief of Staff (COS), Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and others for helping the president to achieve optimal and maximum results so far.
