About two weeks after the Lagos State House of Assembly passed the 2019 budget, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has yet to receive it, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.

Our correspondent gathered that the Assembly might be awaiting May 29 when the governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, would be sworn into office.He accused the lawmakers of playing politics with the development of the state.

“What they failed to realise is that this is beyond Ambode. It is about Lagos State. It is about governance. Since they took this decision not to pass the budget to him, things have been at a standstill. No development; nothing. This is wrong at all levels because people’s lives are being held.” Controversies have trailed the budget since 2018 when the governor was accused of breaking the tradition of sending the budget to the Assembly before the fiscal year.

After protests and public demonstrations, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, and some party stalwarts called the lawmakers and the governor into a meeting, where the matter was reportedly resolved.

U have not see anything yet

What for, bcoz his leaving soon

Hahahaha, Godfatherisn has made the governor a house boy

His anti politics caused this.. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.. You became gov if Lagos state by virtue of Tinubu, so why are you play politics.. Until a neutral parry wins lagos we will keep getting dis thrash. Sanwolu just coming to do Tinubu’s bidding

It's really sad in a democratic dispensation when the state house of Assembly members have no regards for the sitting governor bit feel their only recourse in the state is by a certain Godfather

The irony is that the APC social media thugs will see no wrong in this but let Saraki delay a second d will tel u how he is a crook.This is what Lawan and Femi Gbaja will be doing to Buhari Cos d are all loyal to Thiefnubu

Imbecilic governor

You tried your best Mr Ambode I was so disappointed you let all this happen to you without a fight. If really it was about the citizens of Lagos state you should have fought Tinibu for the betterment of the state it was part of the oath you took as a Governor. Tinubu is evil.

So they don't want him to sign it before he leaves the office.

AkinwunmiAmbode is the most humiliated governor in Nigeria. Humiliated and Embarrassed by his own party OfficialAPCNg power drunkers

What will he do with it na

The rogues Assembly members should know that the life of Lagosians are far more important than their politics, stylishly delaying the passage till May 29th will not help Sanwolu rather it will instead create a more divided Lagos. And to their godfather his permutations for 2023.
