Once Again, Lagos Assembly Summons Ambode

The Lagos State House of Assembly has once again summoned former governor of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode to appear before its committee over some financial transactions during his tenure.
The legislature, in the summons, wants the ex-Governor to appear before the Committee of the House to say all he knows about some financial transactions during his tenure between May 29, 2015, and May 29, this year.
“The Lagos State House of Assembly, pursuant to Section 129 (1)(c) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) hereby summons His Excellency, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the former Governor of Lagos State (May, 2015 – May, 2019) to appear before the Committee of the House on Wednesday, 30th October, 2019 at the Lateef Jakande Auditorium, Assembly Complex, Alausa, Ikeja by 1.00 p.m.”
The allegations against the former governor are: Unauthorised discounting of Promissory Note; Misappropriation of Special Expenditure Funds; Improper implementation of the Appropriation Law; and Non-adherence to the Financial Regulations of the State.
The notice urges the former governor to provide the Committee with documents to justify that the transactions did not violate constitutional provisions.
“You are kindly requested to furnish the Committee with fifteen (15) copies each of all relevant document(s) relating to the issues raised through the Office of the Clerk of the House on or before Tuesday, 29th October 2019.
“It is pertinent to state that your presence at the proposed meeting would allow you to shed light on issues that are material to the investigation.”
