Lagos warns National Assembly over central gaming
Recall that the Lagos State Government strongly opposed the proposed Central Gaming Bill, warning that it violates the Nigerian Constitution and a binding Supreme Court judgement.
Attorney-General Lawal Pedro, SAN, described the Bill as legislative overreach that threatens Nigeria’s federal structure and judicial authority.
He urged the National Assembly to withdraw the Bill to preserve constitutional order and respect the finality of Supreme Court decisions.
Sanwo-Olu unblocks Nigerian lawyer who sued him
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Governor Sanwo-Olu took action after the lawyer he blocked on Twitter (X) dragged him to court.
In a twist, Governor Sanwo-Olu unblocked the human rights lawyer, Festus Ogun, who sued him recently (2025) over the alleged blocking on X in 2020.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile, confirmed this and shared photos of Sanwo-Olu's meeting and the lawyer on X.
