BREAKING: Obasa storms Lagos assembly, joins lawmakers’ meeting outside chamber with Meranda

Ousted Lagos State Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, is currently in a crucial closed-door meeting with Speaker Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, Lagos Attorney General Lawal Mohammed Alade Pedro (SAN), APC Chairman Cornelius Ojelabi, and 38 lawmakers at the Assembly Garden. The high-level discussion comes just hours before a scheduled plenary session, fueling speculations about a possible shift in the House’s leadership dynamics.

While the agenda remains undisclosed, insiders believe the meeting is tied to last week’s political unrest, which saw Obasa defy his impeachment by holding a controversial plenary with only four lawmakers. His bold move led to further division within the House, culminating in the emergence of Meranda as the new Speaker. However, pressure from the APC leadership may now force her to step down to restore unity.

With tensions running high, the Lagos State Police Command has deployed security personnel to the Assembly complex to avert any potential crisis. Authorities are on high alert to prevent disruptions, particularly from suspected political thugs who may seek to exploit the situation.

As the state watches closely, today’s plenary is expected to be decisive in determining the future leadership of the Lagos State House of Assembly. Whether Obasa will make a comeback or if Meranda will hold her ground remains to be seen.
