The leadership crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly took a dramatic turn on Sunday as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other top APC leaders intervened in a last-minute effort to reconcile warring factions.
Papers News learnt that a high-level meeting was convened, where party leaders pleaded with aggrieved lawmakers to reconsider their stance and support the reinstatement of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker.
Multiple sources confirmed that many of the anti-Obasa lawmakers who are in support of Mojisola Meranda remaining as the Speaker of the House were unwilling to budge, insisting they were ready to face the consequences of their decision.
