Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Bola Tinubu for his silence on the ongoing crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku described Tinubu’s inaction as a tacit endorsement of anti-democratic tactics aimed at overturning the decision of lawmakers. He also condemned what he termed “backdoor tactics” to reinstate former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who was impeached by a majority of Assembly members.
Earlier in the day, Obasa arrived at the Assembly complex, insisting he remained the Speaker despite his impeachment.
“Despite his well-known influence over Lagos politics, President Bola Tinubu has remained conspicuously silent. His refusal to intervene suggests an endorsement of anti-democratic maneuvers designed to impose his preferred candidate against the overwhelming will of Assembly members,” Atiku stated.
He described Tinubu’s silence as “deafening and deeply concerning.”
Atiku further accused the president of turning Lagos politics into a battleground between “the noble values of Omoluabi”rooted in integrity, fairness, and public service and the strong-arm tactics of Area Boy politics, where power is retained through coercion rather than consensus.”
