There are strong indications that both the ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, and the current Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, may step down from their positions this week.
Reports suggest that their resignation is part of a resolution reached by the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) in a recent meeting to pave the way for a new Speaker from Lagos West, likely to be announced on Wednesday.
For weeks, the Assembly has been embroiled in a leadership crisis following the removal of Obasa by 32 out of 40 lawmakers on January 13, 2025. Meranda was immediately named Speaker by the same lawmakers. However, Obasa challenged his removal in court, arguing that due process was not followed.
