CAN explained that the document causing the confusion was issued by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), adding that it never approved or circulated any communication involving the Sultan in the chapel project.

It said the clarification became necessary to correct the public impression and prevent misinformation linking it to the claim.

NMA Lagos Crisis Deepens As Chairman Sacked, New Leadership Installed Amid Dispute.

Published

on

The leadership of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Lagos State branch, has been thrown into crisis following the removal of its chairman, Dr. Babajide Saheed, at an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) held on Saturday in Lagos.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In his stead, the association’s 1st Vice Chairman, Dr. Temidire Ewonowo, has assumed leadership in line with provisions of the NMA constitution.

However, the ousted chairman has rejected the decision, describing the process as unconstitutional and invalid.

Officials at the meeting said the move followed alleged constitutional breaches and the chairman’s failure to convene an emergency meeting requested by affiliate bodies within the required timeframe.

Dr. Ewonowo explained that the process was initiated after several affiliate groups demanded an emergency congress over alleged violations of the association’s rules. He also accused the former chairman of walking out of a prior emergency meeting and submitting an unapproved delegate list, which they said contributed to disciplinary action.

The decision was taken via secret ballot during the EGM, with 93 members voting for removal, four against, and three votes invalid. Organisers insisted the quorum and constitutional requirements were met.

Dr. Ewonowo said the transition aligns with the association’s rules, adding that the vice chairman automatically assumes leadership when a chairman is removed. He pledged to stabilise the association and prioritise doctors’ welfare in Lagos.

But Dr. Saheed maintained that he remains the legitimate chairman, insisting that due process was not followed and rejecting the outcome of what he described as an “unconstitutional” meeting.

The development has effectively split the Lagos NMA branch, with both sides standing firm on their positions amid deepening internal tensions.
