Renowned scholar, Prof. Akin Oyebode, has said that the APC might be sounding its death knell in Lagos State with the growing plot to impeach Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
Prof. Oyebode told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday that the APC might be bringing a “death wish’’ to itself in Lagos State.
“The APC in Lagos seems to be making a death wish. First, you muscled out a performing man from a second bite of the apple. Now, you want to throw him under the bus which, quite frankly, amounts to an overkill.
“If they persist in this misadventure, the people will teach them a lesson which they will never forget in the coming election,” he said.
Oyebode described the growing plan by members of the Lagos State House of Assembly to impeach the governor as a misadventure that could make APC to lose the governorship elections in the state.
The Assembly members, on January 28, said that they might impeach Ambode over alleged gross misconduct.
The house also summoned the governor to appear before it within one week over his failure to formally present the 2019 budget before the Assembly.
The house reconvened for an emergency parliamentary session on January 30, restating that that the governor might be impeached over alleged financial infractions in the 2018 budget and the yet-to-be-laid 2019 Appropriation Bill.
The lawmakers warned that if the governor failed to show up, the assembly would commence gathering of signatures for the governor’s impeachment.
