Ambode To Present Lagos 2019 Budget Today

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has concluded arrangements to present the 2019 budget of Lagos State tomorrow (Tuesday), according to Daily Independent.

The Budget presentation will come barely two days after Asiwaju Bola Tinubu brokered peace among the Governor and the Lagos State lawmakers.

The lawmakers had initially threatened to impeach the Governor over alleged gross misconduct, including alleged spending before budget approval.

Recall that after a meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Committee, GAC, in Lagos yesterday, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu had said: “We examined the grievances on both sides. As leaders, we also looked into areas where there has to be compromise.

“In order to build institutions and encourage consensus-building, we have to do what is right.

“There is no impeachment. Let there be more communication and consensus-building and understanding. All these are inbuilt in the democratic system.”
