Chronicle Of How Lagos Assembly Has Been A Threat To The Executive Since 1999 by davodyguy: 8:12am On Feb 04, 2019
Truth be told, whether we admit it or not, Lagos State is under a siege. This is a fact from a Lagosian and an APC apologist.
This siege sometimes has brought positive result, however it has a terrible repercussion that mean there should be check and balance.
From 1999 to 2019, same party or same persons have been in Charge of Lagos State, sequel to taking over power from Brig General Buba Marwa on 29th May, 1999

There are some dangerous pattern that we really need to challenge and criticize.

BAT was the Governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 and within 8 years he had 3 Deputy Governors. Not sure any state in Nigeria since 1999 has experienced such.

The LAHA led by my man Dr Olorunimbe Mamora impeached Senator Koforola Bucknor in 2002 https://allafrica.com/stories/200212170698.html
The LAHA led by Ikuforiji impeached Senator Femi Pedro in 2007, later the court overturned the impeachment years after they both left office.
in 2007 BAT appointed another Deputy Governor https://allafrica.com/stories/200705110060.html

BRF was the governor of Lagos State between 2007 to 2015. in year 2009/2010 he was almost impeached by the same LAHA lead by Ikuforiji and second term ticket withdrawn. https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/1701/fashola-risks-impeachment-as-he-digs-into-bola-tinubus-n2.html
Since the plot failed owing to Fashola's popularity, they had to sacrifice Fashola's loyal supporter in Person of the Deputy Governor Sarah Adebisi Sosan and brought in another person loyal to the party Orelope Adefulire. https://allafrica.com/stories/201101210877.html
After Fashola left, the rift of 2009/2010 was echoed again that they tried to blackmail him in order not to get federal appointment by publishing contract cost. Whereas, it is an open secret that LASG never shows their budget spending to anyone. This started since 1999, as it is part of their policy, Just to make Fashola look bad. https://theeagleonline.com.ng/fashola-to-ambode-your-accusations-storm-in-a-tea-cup/
Days later when it became obvious the plot to stop BRF failed, BAT said any attack on BRF is an attack on him. http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/tinubu-breaks-silence-on-attacks-on-fashola-read-what-he-has-to-say/


Akinwunmi Ambode is the Governor of Lagos State from 2015 to February, 2019 (We don't know if they'll allow him state till May, 29th.)
First he lost the second term ticket, first of it's kind in Nigeria since 1999 where an incumbent would not be presented by the party for a second term. Now, the same LAHA wanted/want to impeach the Governor. https://punchng.com/just-in-lagos-assembly-threatens-to-impeach-ambode-summons-gov/

It took the intervention of one man stop the impeachment. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/02/how-tinubu-stopped-ambodes-impeachment/ How Tinubu stopped Ambode’s impeachment

Does it mean that Ambode is no longer guilty or was never guilty at all? I'm wondering how an someone who was alleged to have committed an offence all of a sudden is no longer guilty.

Lagos State my state is under siege and we must not allow this to continue
