Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, who was impeached as Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly on January 13, 2025, is poised to make a return to the position.
Sources indicate that Obasa’s security details have been reinstated, while those of Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, his former deputy and current Speaker, have been withdrawn.
Meranda, who made history as the first female Speaker of the Lagos Assembly following Obasa’s removal, has not officially stepped down. However, her tenure appears to have been decided over the weekend after key leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) intervened in the crisis.
