EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Chairman of Lagos State House of Assembly Commission, LAHASCOM, Chief Wale Mogaji, has said he is committed to seeking the truth in the face of the injustice following his sack by members of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
This he said following allegations and counter allegations from members of the public that has trailed his removal from office.
Chief Mogaji reacting to a recent write-up alleging mismanagement as a reason for his sack, said such an allegation emanating from a stooge of the speaker of the state Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, still will not stop him from seeking the truth in court.
According to him, it is part of their attempt to diminish his reputation and not allow people to see the truth.
In the online article titled, “The Fall Of Wale Mogaji Of LAHASCOM” Chief Mogaji was accused of handling the office like a sole proprietorship, and his removal caused joy and lowkey celebrations among staff and his colleagues at LAHASCOM.
It also disclosed how all the lawmakers at the sitting voted against his removal without any dissenting opinion or voice saying it was an indication he didn’t imbibe the innate qualities of a good leader over the years he has occupied the position.
Issuing a rebuttal, in a release obtained by EKO HOT BLOG titled “Re: Downfall of Wale Mogaji – A Rejoinder” Chief Mogaji wrote:
“Our attention had been drawn to a disjointed write-up making the rounds in the social media obviously written by a well-known stooge of the speaker whose inordinate ambition had beclouded his sense of reasoning and any regard for humanity.
“It is nothing but cheap propaganda and a justification of their illegitimacy. It is on record that other commissions from other states in the country came to the LAHASCOM to share knowledge. The national assembly commission adjudged us years back as one of the best commissions in Nigeria.
“The declining fortune of our commission started when Obasa held up to our funds and started his draconian policies.
“On the voice vote of the legislators which the write-up described as a vote of no confidence, the matter was not even on the order paper for that day’s proceedings. Anybody close to the assembly will testify that after the removal of the four principal officers of the assembly over one year ago, no legislator has the effrontery to object to or query the speaker on any policy, he will turn such a person into an enemy immediately.
“Mudashiru Obasa smuggled the agenda on the business of the House towards the tail end of the day’s proceedings.

“Contrary to the false claim of the faceless writer insinuating that the staff were jubilating over my ‘removal’, the situation in LAHASCOM was actually that of shock and grieve, even some cried. Since this incident, I had been bombarded with calls and messages while some visited me at home physically.
“It may take some time, but surely; darkness will never overcome light!”
Chief Mogaji, however, asked his supporters to be calm as he was confident that justice would prevail.
