Lawmakers in Lagos, recently threatened to impeach the Governor, who failed to secure the ticket of the All Progressives Congress to seek a second term in office, over his late submission of the budget.

DENISAURUS News understands that a reconciliation move made by Bola Tinubu, a chieftain of the ruling party, might have prevented the impeachment charge against the outgoing Governor.
