CityNews Nigeria sources also hinted that Mrs. Idiat Adebule’s antecedents as the former deputy governor of Lagos State under His Excellency,former Governor Akinwumi Ambode and as the former commissioner for Education in Lagos State may have paved the way for her coming back as the number two citizen in the stste.

CityNews Nigeria can also exclusively report that the current deputy governor of Lagos State,Dr. Obafemi Hamzat will be compensated with a senatorial seat in the state.
