FORMER Minister of Communications, General Tajudeen Olarenwaju (retd), yesterday, kicked against the proposed review of the Lagos State Obas and Chiefs law saying it is needless, unnecessary, and designed, engendered to achieve an unclear objective.
In a statement, the former Communications Minister urged traditional rulers and ruling houses in the state to speak up and denounce “this despicable attempt to rob them of their heritage.”
The statement reads: “In recent publications in the media, it was reported that the Lagos State government has commenced a stakeholders’ meeting on the review of the Obas and Chiefs of Lagos State Law, 2015. It is organised by the Ministry of justice’s Directorate of Legislative Drafting.
