The Lagos State House Assembly has set up a committee to investigate the purchase of 820 buses by the administration of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

The lawmakers said the governor did not get the approval to buy 820 of the 5,000 buses he proposed for mass transit in the state.

In a motion titled, ‘Lagos State House of Assembly Motion Number 2,’ the lawmaker representing Eti Osa Constituency 2, Gbolahan Yishawu, said the executive proposed to spend ₦17bn to purchase the buses in the 2017 budget, but it was not approved.

He added that in the 2018 and 2019 budgets, the state government proposed ₦24bn and ₦7bn respectively for the buses, which were again turned down.

Yishawu said the Ambode administration, however, went ahead to purchase the vehicles.

The lawmaker said the House was worried that 520 of the 820 buses were still awaiting clearance from the bonded warehouse and the port at the expense of taxpayers.

He suggested that an ad hoc committee be set up to investigate the cost of the buses and other issues surrounding the purchase to prevent a recurrence.

“The value of the buses is overrated. We need to prevent such an occurrence in the future”

“₦45 Billion would be spent on the total purchase of the buses and we need to prevent such an occurrence in the future.”

In his remarks, the Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, said that the House must act urgently on the matter to prevent waste.

“The vehicles are in the ports and they have been there for almost a year. The state will continue to suffer if we allow the buses to stay in the ports”

“We should get the buses to the roads and save the state from further wastes,”

The House subsequently set up a committee headed by member representing Ibeju Lekki Constituency 1, Fatal Mojeed, to look into the matter and report to the House.

Fashola that spent billions on electricity and yet our electricity plan is worst than it use to be ,Abeg make I no begin mention ...

Lagos state assembly assembly lawmakers are tinubu's puppets. They should probe tinubu's bullion van and his illegal illegal pensions. How can a non civil servant be earning pension in billions?

He should tell them what they collected as share and how they got it, they would leave him alone.

Ok

Each bus at N54 million.

ON this matter nothing will happen to him.

Our Politicians needs to account for their actions that is the only way we can progress.

Useless idiots acting drama scripted by Tinubu

Sorry ambode. Be like say you sef do pass yourself...

Anyways, why did Lagos neglect other zones but paid only Epe indigenes bursary last year.. to top it all, we're approaching September already and This years' bursary payment hasn't been fulfilled yet even though last year wasn't paid.... Frauds everywhere.

Una for start with Tinubu. How much did Tinubu buy the first batch of buses when USD was N135?

Puppet assembly. Tomorrow they all will go to church or mosque or Ifas place like good ppl.

This is witch hunting

All I know is that some powerful toes Ambode stepped on in Lagos actually doing everything possible to destroy his political future.

Firstly, they should probe Tinubu and his immediate predecessor... they should then probe themselves as well.

Fools!

Ambode must have done something serious.

Is it his village people?

All of you in that assembly are mad

When he bought the buses you all did not say a word, collect your cut and kept quiet

Now you are screaming probe

Knew Ambode is one of the thieves

If these people talking were in Ambode's shoe as a governor, what would they have done?

The bitter truth is that every governor, president, House of Assembly, Senate and Representatives are the same (Thieves), reaping where they did not sow. Why didnt they investigate Tinubu and Fashola?

Imagine thieves investigating thief. What a paradox!

Dumb lawmakers.
If you didn't approve it, where did he get the money?
You must think all Lagosians are illiterate.

Make Tinubu free ambode nah
