There is palpable tension in Ojodu Local Council Development Area over a perceived plot to put Democracy in bondage.
It is been alleged that the newly elected Administrator of Ojodu LCDA through his interference in the appointment of the leader of the Legislative Arm of the Council
The legislative Arm is an independent arm of government that is expected to be operate on its own without the interference of the executive arm.
The known model for the operations, business and activities of the legislative Arm is strictly for all the councillors to deliberate and decide among themselves not even the clerk of the house can partake in the decisions of who will be the leader or other principal officers. It's like a case of the Governor going to the House of Assembly to vote in who will become the Speaker when there's a draw.
The Executive Chairman will only issue proclamation for the inauguration of the councillors elect in the legislative council and thereafter stay to witness their proceedings.
The fact remains unshaken that in the case of a draw in votes during any plenary sessions, the clerk of the house will call for suspension of the session to allow councillors elect to meet behind closed door and if it's not resolved, the session will be adjourned indefinitely for the party leadership to Wade into the matter as a way to resolve the issue on sharing of principal positions before calling for another session to implement the decision reached.
The position taken by the clerk shows his inexperience of the constitution or deliberate attempt to subvert the guiding rules of the Legislative Arm
It is suffice to say that the newly elected Chairman of Ojodu LCDA Hon. Olusegun Odunmbaku has clearly shown his myopic and barbaric tendencies which wouldn't take the council to the desired destination.
Its equally a known fact that in the same house, there are many rooms to house different persons but as a father of such house, he would do everything to cause harmonious coexistence among all and not go about heinous game and unpopular means to effect a hidden agenda.
We all need to rise to save Ojodu LCDA from retrogressing.
We need the intervention of the Speaker of the Lagos State House Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa in this matter.
