| The house in contention |
This is truly not the best of times for the family of the of the impeached Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Funmi Tejuosho as they are fighting what can be termed a tall battle now and the toll on them is both traumatic and terrible. Just imagine being forcefully ejected from a house, that you have come to call home after more than a decade!
The family has come out to cry foul against the forced eviction and perceived injustice. Read the prepared speech by the head of the family, Prince Kayode Tejuosho and the terse response from the representative of the Lagos State Government, Commissioner for Information, Steve Ayorinde.
“I am constrained to address you on the above subject, not out of any joy or excitement but simply to put the facts straight in the public domain. I have heard and read so many things in the social media and the conventional media that are substantially untrue.
Let me first of all say that as at now that I am talking to you, my wife who is an Honourable member of the Lagos state House of Assembly is just on her way from the official assignment of the State Government. It is on record that she is spending her 14th year serving this State. I am sure it is no more news that my wife and I, along with our children have been forcefully and brutally evicted from our home and rendered homeless by the Government after days of tortuous siege on our residence due to no fault of ours but out of what I consider sheer political persecution and uncommon vendetta.
“Let me quickly lay the facts bare to correct the falsehood being peddled by the Government to justify their unlawful act and outright violation of our rights. During the administration of former Governor Bola Tinubu, the Lagos State Government adopted the Federal Government’s property’s monetisation and redevelopment policy by offering several of its properties to public/civil servants occupying same for sale as well as companies under redevelopment schemes.
“This monetization policy was continued by the Babatunde Raji Fashola government, as a result of which several officials benefited, including the present chairman of the Lagos chapter of the APC, Mr. Henry Dele Ajomale.
