The Governance Advisory Council, GAC, Secretary, Mr. Mutiu Are, yesterday, described the crisis in Lagos State Assembly as a family affair.
Meanwhile, members of GAC the apex advisory organ in the state, disagreed over the process that led to the impeachment of former speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa.
However, speaking on the matter, the Secretary of GAC, Are, called for calm, saying the matter will be resolved in a family way.
On the claim by Obasa that his removal was unconstitutional, Are said: “Whatever is currently going on in Lagos politics is a family affair.
“As an elder, I’m not supposed to take sides.
“We would resolve everything because the GAC, being the apex advisory organ, has its mechanism for resolving matters like this.
“By my position as the secretary of the body, I’m not given an express permission to speak to the matter. But I can tell you that we’ll resolve it in a family way.”
On same issue, a socio-political group, Lovers of Lagos, called for the arrest of Obasa for using the official residence of the Speaker.
Calling for his arrest, the Lovers of Lagos, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Yinka Olatunji, said the return of Obasa to the official residence of the Speaker, where he was welcomed by his supporters, has raised eyebrow and concerns.
