The reinstatement of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly has reportedly caused division within the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the highest political decision-making body in Lagos All Progressives Congress (APC).
While some party leaders have celebrated Obasa’s return, others insist that his reinstatement was only a temporary measure in a tripartite agreement brokered by former governors Bisi Akande and Chief Olusegun Osoba.
A GAC member, who spoke on condition of anonymity with The Guardian, stated that the issue was far from resolved, as the agreement required Obasa to step down after his reinstatement.
