A fight over SUVs is shaking up the Lagos State House of Assembly, and it’s not just about four wheels and leather seats. At the centre of it all is Mojisola Meranda, who, in a twist of fate, seems to have found herself undoing a rather costly decision by Mudashiru Obasa.
Before his removal from Speakership, Obasa had reportedly signed off on a 7 billion plan for 45 SUVs, with a generous four units set aside for himself and his wives. Being a man of taste, he allegedly chose Toyota Fortuners sourced from Dubai. But Meranda came in, took a look at the figures, and decided to cut the cost by ₦2billion.
