Erstwhile chairman, Lagos State House of Assembly Services Commission (LAHASCOM) Mr Olawale Mogaji, says he will go to court to seek redress over his recent sack by the assembly during plenary.
He disclosed this in a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday after his appointment was terminated by the assembly.
The Lagos State House of Assembly,had in a unanimous vote sacked Mr Wale Mogaji, the Chairman of the state House of Assembly Service Commission (LAHASCOM).
But,Mogaji noted that due process was not followed with the termination of his appointment as the Chairman of the commission.
According to him, it was very sad that the democracy had been bastardised with the conduct of those who are supposed to ensure the rule of law and sanctity of justice.
He added:”I heard through the news that the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly sack my appointment as Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Services Commission at the plenary today.It is very sad that our democracy has been bastardise with the conduct of those who are supposed to ensure the rule of law and sanctity of justice.
“The speaker without recourse to the Service rules has been operating the commission like a unit of the assembly. Recently, he appointed Mr Olalekan Onafeko on GL- 15 as Clerk of the House whereas,to be appointed as a clerk of the house, you must be a full Director on GL-17.Also, today, he appointed another woman, Mrs Raulat Latona on GL-15 to be the secretary of the Commission, you must also be a full director on GL-17”.
He said the unilateral action taken by the speaker, had obstructed the activities of the commission and any attempt to advice on the need for due process he always saw it as an affront.
