Mudashiru Obasa has been returned as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Obasa was reinstated following the resignation of Mojisola Meranda, who stepped down from the role with immediate effect.
The former Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly Mojisola Meranda, was sworn in as the Deputy Speaker of the assembly.
She was immediately sworn-in following her nomination.
Earlier, Meranda stepped down amid the leadership crisis rocking the Lagos State Assembly, the Speaker.
But the crisis remain unresolved as Obasa’s removal divided the Assembly, and party’s leadership in the state.
Meranda said she resigned to protect the state assembly, adding that she is not a quitter.
Before announcing her resignation, the state lawmakers took turns to commend her legislative acumen, diligence, and performance within her short time in office.
Showering praises on Meranda, Desmond Olusola Elliot thanked her, saying she demonstrated good leadership and led the house well.
Another lawmaker, Temitope Adewale Ifako-Ijaiye I, said, “We celebrate you for your quality service. You are a heroine of democracy. You came, you saw, you conquer. You are a victim of circumstance. This house is in tears.”
