It may take time but darkness ‘ll never overcome light, Sacked Lagos Assembly Commission boss, Mogaji assures
The Chairman of Lagos State House of Assembly Commission, High Chief Olawale Mogaji, who was sacked recently, has assured that the current situation going on in the state Assembly will not last forever.
He was reacting to an article purportedly written by who he called a stoge of Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, titled, “DOWNFALL OF WALE MOGAJI”.
In the rejoinder, High Chief Mogaji, an indigene of Lagos from Epe, described the article as nothing but a cheap propaganda and a justification of the Speaker and co’s illegitimacy of his sack.
In a personally issued statement sent to The DEFENDER at the instance of the sacked LAHASCOM boss, he said, “It is on record that other commissions from other states in the country came to the LAHASCOM to share knowledge.”
The statement said, “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’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 effontery to object or query the speaker on any policy, he will turn such a person to 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 happened, I had been bombarded with calls and messages while some visited me at home physically.
“It may take some time though but surely, darkness will never overcome light!” He said.
