Tinubu meet APC leaders in Lagos
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu has met with the Lagos Governance Advising Council (GAC) and the APC chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi, at the Abuja villa.
Ojelabi announced the development on Thursday, January 23, adding that the GAC chairman Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi led the delegation. President Tinubu and the GAC met barely two weeks after Mudashiru Obasa, the former Lagos state House of Assembly speaker, was impeached.
Obasa was impeached over allegations of financial misappropriation, and his deputy was subsequently elected as his replacement.
