LIRS: I haven’t quit my job —Fowler

Contrary to media reports, Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenues Service, LIRS, Mr. Babatunde Fowler, yesterday said he had not resigned his appointment.

This came 24 hours after media report claimed the LIRS boss left Governor Babatunde  Fashola’s cabinet to join the Lagos State governorship race  ahead of the 2015 general election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking to Vanguard in an interview, Fowler said there was no way he would have resigned unceremoniously as reported in the report, adding “there was no plan to contest in any election.”
According to him: “I wish to place on the record that I have not resigned my appointment as the Executive Chairman of the Lagos State Board of Internal Revenue. I remain in office and continue to serve the people of Lagos State in my designated position."
