· Tinubu urges assembly to step down proposal
Gboyega Akinsanmi
A privately initiated bill, which seeks to repeal the 1972 Administrative Divisions Law of Lagos State, has stoked dissension among members of the State House of Assembly, pitching them against the Speaker, Mr Mudashiru Obasa.
Similarly, political leaders, traditional rulers and eminent indigenes across the state have disapproved the bill, which under its schedule seeks to classify Alimosho as part of Badagry Division; Kosofe and Somolu as part of Ikeja Division and Eti-Osa and Lekki as part of Epe Division.
Multiple sources, who anonymously spoke with THISDAY on Friday, expressed grave concern about the new bill, lamenting that the proposal would disrupt the state’s administrative structures that the state had been using for 49 years.
