National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has assured that the feud between Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the Lagos State House of Assembly would not lead to the impeachment of the governor as widely speculated.

Tinubu stated this on Sunday after a meeting with members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, GAC in Marina, Lagos. While speaking to newsmen, the former Lagos governor said the conflict between both arms of the state government had been settled amicably. He noted that while disagreements were bound to happen, the disagreeing parties should learn to employ conflict-resolution mechanisms.

“We have been able to look into the source of various conflicts which is not uncommon in politics; what is the genesis of those problems? We are one big family and as a big family, you will have some rumples, you will have some disagreement. As leaders of the party, we have looked into that; we have looked into areas where we have to compromise, discuss and build the institutions, encourage the institutions to really do what is right,” Tinubu said.

He thanked the leadership of the State House of Assembly as well as Ambode and his deputy, Idiat Adebule for coming to a consensus and bringing a peaceful resolution of the conflict. He also thanked the Speaker of the House and the entire members of the Assembly. He stated that the governor and the deputy had demonstrated firm respect for the party leadership in Lagos State.
