The political upheaval in the Lagos State House of
Assembly seems to be over as members of the Assembly and the Governor’s
Advisory Council (GAC) have settled for the speakership of Rt Hon Mojisola
Lasbat Meranda.
They also declared that the era of Mudashiru Obasa “is
gone. He is now a former Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly and that is
final”.
The decision was reached at the end of a meeting where the idea of a new
speaker was suggested, that the Lagos West should automatically produce the new
speaker having accepted the removal of Obasa
It was gathered that Members of the Assembly from Lagos West vehemently
rejected the advice, insisting that they are resolute and stand firm with the
election of Meranda.
Sources disclosed that the GAC members who were
looking for a soft landing for the former speaker were surprised when Lagos
West members and others rejected the idea of his return as Speaker.
They (Members) equally said NO to the idea of a new
speaker, stressing that they are comfortable with Meranda.
Lagos West members met behind closed doors and came
out to inform that they are in support of the continuation of Meranda as
Speaker.
In the words of a member: “We are okay with our
speaker, Rt Hon Mojisola Lasbat Meranda. That’s what we told the meeting. So,
that’s where we are and we will not change”.
