The Lagos state House of Assembly has denied the rumored defection of 27 of its members from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Labor Party (LP).
Chairman of the house committee on information, strategy and security, Ogundipe Olukayode, said the reports are “false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to misinform the public.
Recall that earlier on Monday, armed security officers were at the hallowed chamber, allegedly preventing the speaker, Mojisola Meranda, from gaining entrance till hours later. when she finally presided over plenary, she became tearful and emotional as lawmakers passed a vote of confidence in her.
