EKO HOT BLOG reports that the sacked Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Commission, Wale Mogaji, has said he will seek the redress of his disengagement through legal means.
This online media platform recalls that the Lagos State House of Assembly, in a unanimous decision on Thursday, voted for the sack of Wale Mogaji.
The Lagos Assembly Commission boss, in a statement obtained by EKO HOT BLOG, said: “I heard through the news that the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly terminated my appointment as Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Services Commission at the plenary today, 14th July 2022.
“It is very sad that our democracy has been basterdised with the conduct of those who are suppose to uphold the rule of law and sanctity of justice.
“The speaker without recourse to the service rules has been operating the Commission like a unit of the Assembly,” he alleged.
Mogaji accused the speaker of appointing officers on GL- 15 as Clerk and Secretary of the House instead of being a full director on GL-17, as stipulated by law.
“This is just a few of the unilateral actions taken by the speaker, he obstructs the activities of the Commission and any attempt to advise on the need for due process is seen as an affront.
“However, l will remain steadfast and allow the law to take its course by going to court to seek redress and protect my integrity,” he stated.
Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Eromosele Ebhomele, had in a statement said: “Mogaji’s sack was approved after a voice vote by members of the House at plenary.
He stated that: “The lawmakers appointed Mrs. Folashade Raulat Latona, as the new Secretary of the Commission. Latona replaces Mrs. Esther Lambo, who retired recently.
