Former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Otunba Femi Pedro has appealed to the Lagos State House of Assembly to revisit his 2007 impeachment as a way of being compassionate.
Pedro was impeached by the state House of Assembly towards the tail end of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Pedro in a letter read by the Clerk, Ganiyu Abiru, Pedro urged the House to revisit his impeachment as a way of being compassionate.
A member Rotimi Olowo representing Shomolu constituency I said the tone of the letter reveals that Pedro is remorseful of his action.
Olowo said “The purpose of the impeachment is not traceable to fraud or misconduct, probably because of high-handedness or lack of respect for constituted authority. Mr. Speaker, I suggest we set up an Ad-hoc committee to either sustain or revisit the resolution of the 5th Assembly.”
Moshood Oshun, Lagos Mainland II also emphasised the need to ignore assumptions and follow due process he said “We can’t base any submission on an assumption. Though, the tone of the letter is an appeal, yet an Ad-hoc committee would have to be set up to look into the issue critically.”
