The immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has once again failed to appear before the House of Assembly ad-hoc Committee probing the activities of his administration.
As at last week, the state Assembly threatened to issue a warrant of arrest for Ambode if he continues to ignore the invitation to appear before its committee for questioning.
When the matter was brought before the house, the chairman of the investigation committee, Fatai Mojeed, told lawmakers that the immediate past Commissioners for Finance, Akinyemi Ashade and Special duties Oladejo Seye, who served under Ambode, had written to the committee notifying them of their absences as they were currently out of the country. Mojeed told his colleague that Ambode once again shunned the committee.
The Speaker, Mudasiru Obasa has said the house will send Ambode’s invitation publicly through newspaper publications and that if he fails to appear again, then a warrant for his arrest will be issued immediately.
