Obasa stated this while reacting to the presentation of the 2019 Budget by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday, February 5,2019.
The Speaker stated that the controversial budget has led to series of negative publications both on social media and in the print media.
He stressed that the publications were being sponsored by “a faceless group calling themselves the Legislative Probity and Accountability (LPA) led by one Olu Fajana with its pseudonym.”
Obasa added that the insinuations started immediately the misunderstanding between the Executive and Legislative over the Y2019 budget came up, adding that such insinuasions could not be ruled out to have emanated from the Executive.
“A section of the media has even been mischievously misled into sensationally writing all manners of write-ups against this assembly.
