The Lagos state House of Assembly has disagreed with the request by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s attorney general and commissioner for justice, Adeniji Kazeem, to suspend some bills supposedly inherited from the previous Assembly.

The House however, categorically said that the attorney general did not have the power to ask it to suspend the bills, saying that the fact that he had requested for the revival of the bills made the latest request unnecessary, Daily Post reports.

In line with that, the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, on Monday, November 23, was reported to have ordered the clerk of the House, Ganiyu Segun Abiru, to invite Kazeem for a meeting with the principal officers of the state hallowed chambers over the request.

According to the report, the commissioner, was apparently acting on Ambode’s directive, as regards asking the 8th Assembly to stop legislative activities on outstanding Bills inherited from the previous assembly.

The commissioner of justice was reported to have listed 15 bills in the letter which he proposed to be suspended.

Speaking on the heels of the disagreement, the majority leader of the Lagos state House of Assembly, Sanai Agunbiade, opposed the Attorney General’s request, saying: “We cannot stop work on the bills as requested by the Attorney General. So, I will suggest that we should continue working on them.”

Similarly, Gbolahan Yishawu said the executive could send any addition to the bills rather than calling for the suspension of works on them, adding that each arm of the government had its own responsibilities.

The Bills requested for suspension are as follow:

Lagos State Public Private Partnership Amendment bill 2013

Lagos State Sunset Agency bill 2013

Lagos State Police Regulatory Authority bill 2014

Lagos State Public Works Corporation 2014

Lagos State Examination Board bill 2014

Seal of Lagos State Government Amendment bill 2014

Lagos State Public Procurement Agency repeal and re-enactment bill 2014

Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection bill 2014.

Lagos State Tourism Promotion Agency bill 2014,

Ibile Holding Corporation bill 2014

Lagos State Safety Commission swimming Pool Regulations 2014

Lagos State Water Infrastructure Development Fishery Regulation Bill 2014

Lagos State Waterways Authority boat safety regulation 2014

However, it was also reported that Ibile Oil and Gas was already a law and that it should not have been part of the bills suggested for suspension by Governor Ambode’s attorney general.

Meanwhile, Adewale Omirin, a former speaker of Ekiti state House of Assembly recently accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of trying to blackmail him following his attempt to reverse his impeachment.l

Vendetta will always lead to stupid decisions.
