Sources close to Government House at Alausa disclosed to The Tide that the protest may have been sponsored by some pro-Bola Tinubu bus owners as a way of extending the political schism between Asiwaju Tinubu and Governor\u00a0 Babatunde Fashola (SAN) of Lagos State.<\/p>\n
The sources confided in our correspondent that for the past one year the governor has had to\u00a0 contend with an estranged relationship with Tinubu, his predecessor, who is also widely believed to be his political god-father.<\/p>\n
Our sources revealed that more protests against LASTMA should be expected as a way to take the battle to the streets, beyond the state House of Assembly where threat of probe and impeachment believed to be fuelled by Tinubu is dangling against the Lagos State Governor.<\/p>\n
The planned anti-LASTMA protest may have more crippling effects on transport in Lagos and its environs, and \u00a0economic activities may suffer a set back as a way of weakening Fashola\u2019s campaign for re-election in 2011.<\/p>\n
It could be recalled that a group known as \u2018The true face of Lagos, petitioned the state House of Assembly, accusing Governor Fashola of financial recklessness and called for a probe.<\/p>\n
It would also be recalled that a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikorodu, presided over by Justice Wale Abiru in sequel to an application filed before the court by a human rights activist, Mr. Richard Akinola, granted an interim injunction restraining the Lagos State House of Assembly from probing Gov. Fashola of an alleged financial impropriety pending the determination of the motion before it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
