The Lagos State House of Assembly remains embroiled in political turmoil as Speaker Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa reportedly held a closed-door meeting with lawmakers today at the Assembly Complex in Alausa, Ikeja. While initial reports claimed it was a reconciliatory session aimed at easing tensions and uniting aggrieved lawmakers, fresh insider information suggests otherwise.
Sources within the Assembly revealed that the meeting, which commenced at 2:10 PM, was far from a reconciliation effort. Instead, Obasa allegedly issued directives rather than fostering dialogue, reinforcing concerns about his authoritarian leadership style. Critics argued that his arrogance and unwillingness to change have been a major source of division within the legislative arm of government.
Despite speculations that Obasa might resign following his controversial reinstatement, Lagosians are watching closely to see if any such action will take place. An unconfirmed report suggests that the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) had resolved that Mojisola Meranda should resign, allowing Obasa to return as Speaker, only for him to step down immediately, paving the way for the emergence of a new leader.
