His words: “I promise to work tirelessly with my colleagues in the 10th Assembly to ensure that we continue to uphold the legacy of excellence for which the Lagos State House of Assembly is known.
“Under my leadership, the Lagos House of Assembly will operate an open and inclusive administration where all members will be carried along and given equal opportunity to contribute towards the development of the State.
