The suspended Clerk of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Olalekan Onafeko, has described the ongoing issues within the House as a “family matter” that has now been resolved.
Onafeko resumed his duties on Thursday, following a court order that reinstated him to office.
He had been suspended by the House on January 13, the same day 36 out of 40 lawmakers voted to remove Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker.
Speaking on his reinstatement, Onafeko said, “I want to assure everyone that in the Lagos State House of Assembly, we see ourselves as a family. What happened was a family issue, which I believe has now been resolved.”
He further explained that the court had ordered his reinstatement pending the hearing of the Motion on Notice for an Interlocutory Injunction already filed in the suit.
“By implication, the court has ordered that I resume my duties as the Clerk of the House, pending the hearing of the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction already filed in the suit. The said order has been duly served on the concerned parties.
“This is victory for the rule of law and ethos of a civil society. The court is indeed the last hope of the common man, including the oppressed,” he said.
