The battle to determine who
becomes the next speaker of Lagos state has become more intense as one of the
major contenders, Funmi Tejuosho gets wallowed in past crimes
Here are the details
As the anxiety and
anticipation emanating from the uncertainty of who becomes the next Speaker of
Lagos State House of Assembly gets more intense, another serving legislator of
the House, Hon. Adefunmilayo Tejuosho, who has just been reelected again, has also
joined in the race for the N0 3 citizen of Lagos State. However, many believe
that of all the contestants for this vital position, Hon Funmilayo Tejuosho has
the least chances of becoming the speaker due to some reasons, which include
her unholy alliance with top politicians as well as her unruly behavior, which
does not befit the position of Lagos State House of Assembly.
Hon. Funmilayo Tejuosho will return to the 8th Lagos Assembly by June 2015 as a fourth term legislator, having been in the House since 2003. Hon. Tejuosho, a 50 year old legislator and the current Chairman, House Committee on Finance, represents Mushin Constituency 1 of Lagos State in the Assembly.
One of the many factors
that might hinder the realization of Hon. Tejuosho as the next Lagos Speaker is
due to the claims and allegations by many that she is arrogant. Many of her
colleagues strongly believe that the female legislator is too arrogant to be
the speaker of the House.
It would be recalled that the famous Lagos
legislator had been the deputy speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, but
was relieved of this vital position in 2009 for gross misconduct bordering on
undermining the authority of the House as well as disrespect to the House and
violation of House rules.
The impeachment notice had been signed by 30 members of the House and when the speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, finally put the matter to vote, 28 lawmakers voted in favour while three were against with one abstaining. As a matter of fact, many of the then members of Lagos State House of Assembly had argued that Tejuosho could have been impeached long ago but for the intervention of personalities in the state who prevailed on members to sheath their swords. Till date, many still allege that Hon. Tejuosho hasn’t change for good in this aspect. To them, egotism has become part and parcel of Hon. Tejuosho, and such a character would not make a good leader, let alone the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly.
Another factor that will
pose a threat to Lagos State speakership ambition of Hon. Funmi Tejuosho is the
claim by many that she wears immoral dresses. Though, many of her fans would
argue otherwise, the truth is that many a time this popular female legislator
puts on dresses that cleverly and sensually expose her cleavage. Indeed this
writer, as a social and event photographer, has witnessed different occasions
where all eyes were on the controversial Hon. Funmi Tejuosho, not because she
was the most popular at the event, but due to her tempting and mouthwatering
dresses. Indeed, this is a serious factor that might stand against her in the
contest for the Lagos State Speaker as many believe anybody that will occupy
such a vital position must be someone who dresses morally, especially when the
person in question is of the female folk.
Another factor that many believe will stand in the way of Hon. Tejuosho in the Lagos Speakership race is the allegation and claim that she is promiscuous, despite being a married woman. Indeed, there is an allegation that this beautiful female legislator does as it pleases her heart when it comes to going into relationships with men. She is alleged not to have bothered about what anybody or even her husband says or feels in respect to this. There has been a speculation that she is not usually in good term with her husband as the husband believes the female legislator often cheats on him. It was exclusively gathered that the female legislator is presently dating a top Lagos politician, who has been three time commissioner. Therefore, the unholy alliance of Hon. Tejuosho with this top politician and others will also go a long way in standing against her in the race for the speakership.
Hon Funmi Tejuosho is the
only female legislator who is returning to the Lagos State House of Assembly
for the fourth time consecutively. If by miracle or other means, she becomes
the next Lagos State House of Assembly speaker, she will make a historic record
of becoming the first female speaker to emerge at the Lagos Legislative House
