Mr. Rauf Age-Suleiman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday took the oath of office as a member of Lagos State House of Assembly.
He is replacing Mr. Olukayode Doherty of the Labour Party, who was recently sacked by the Court of Appeal.
Doherty had been declared winner of the 18th March election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Age-Suleiman took the oath before the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and other lawmakers just before the presentation of the 2024 budget proposal by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
While welcoming him, the Speaker urged the new lawmaker to cooperate with his colleagues and constantly remember those who he represents.
Obasa also congratulated the governor, the APC and the people of Amuwo-Odofin, saying that with the oath of office, the ruling party now has 39 members in the House.
