Adegboruwa accused the governor of running a one-man show for over one month since he has been inaugurated for a second tenure.
Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has accused the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of spending public funds while the State Executive Council has not been duly constituted.
Adegboruwa accused the governor of running a one-man show for over one month since he has been inaugurated for a second tenure.
According to the lawyer, Lagos as a cosmopolitan and complex state deserves a functional cabinet for the certainty of administration and predictability of policies.
Adegboruwa, who made this known in a statement titled 'Lagos Without a Cabinet' on Friday also noted that the governors of Oyo and Ogun states, who are also in their second terms in office, were also guilty.
He, however, urged the governor to promptly constitute his cabinet without further delay so Lagos will not be on autopilot.
He said; "Presently, Lagos State is operating without an Executive Council in place. The House of Assembly has since been inaugurated and its officers duly elected.
"Money is being spent daily without Commissioners and without an Executive Council duly constituted.
"His Excellency, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu is on the saddle for his second term in office, so he is not new. Dr. Alex Otti, who is a first-term governor, has since constituted his cabinet, so too Mr. Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
"Governor Sanwo-Olu was sworn in for a second term in office on May 29, 2023. It is now well over one month and he seems to be running a one-man show. So too, the governors of Oyo and Ogun states, who are also on their second terms in office.
"A state as cosmopolitan and complex as Lagos deserves a functional cabinet, for certainty of administration and predictability of policies.”
"I, therefore, urge the governor to promptly constitute his cabinet without further delay so Lagos will not be on autopilot, the statement added.
