‘Will Tinubu Allow The Lawmakers To Seat Anywhere When He Was Governor Of Lagos?’ – According to Peter Ameh

Regarding funding, he underlined that the governor should abstain from meddling in the state assembly’s financial affairs and argued in favor of the assembly having a direct line of responsibility for financial autonomy.
