Lagos - Elected members of the Lagos State House
of Assembly under the platform of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) are set to clash with
the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu over
who succeeds Adeyemi Ikuforiji as Speaker of the
House, reports Vanguard.
The lawmakers have rejected Tinubu’s anointed
candidate for the post, Wasiu Eshinlokun-Sanni.
Tinubu’s attempts to force the other candidates to
step down for Sanni have been rebuffed.
The candidates have insisted that they are going
ahead with their aspirations.
The other contenders for the speakership race are
Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, Mudasiru Obasa, Lanre Osun,
Rotimi Abiru and Lanre Ogunyemi.
Tinubu is also facing resistance from Ikuforiji, who
prefers to give the position to his stooge and ally,
Abiru, in order to fully cover his tracks after leaving
office.
