The inauguration of the eighth Lagos State House of Assembly slated for today has been postponed till next Monday.
A notice to that effect said: “This is to inform the public, especially invited dignitaries, that the proclamation/inauguration of the eighth Assembly (Lagos State House of Assembly), earlier scheduled for Thursday, June 4, at the Assembly Complex Chambers, has been postponed till Monday, June 8, due to unforeseen circumstances.”
Though there is no official reason for the postponement, two sources at the Assembly gave different reasons for the postponement.
One source said the postponement was at the instance of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, who wrote to the House that he has an important meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari today.
The other source said the postponement was as a result of the inability of the lawmakers to agree on a consensus candidate for the speakership position.
