Lagos Lawmakers Reject Obasa, Insist Meranda Remains Speaker by Mynd44(mod): 4:06pm On Feb 27, 2025
Members of the Lagos state house of assembly have rejected Mudashiru Obasa claim that he remains the speaker.

Speaking with journalists at the assembly complex on Thursday, the lawmakers reaffirmed their support for Mojisola Meranda, insisting that she is the speaker of the assembly.

cheesy More drama. See the kind of chaos, impunity and lawlessness that is going on in Lagos? This is happening in the terrain of the seating leader of a nation. How can Obasa be acting this way without someone one playing the drum for him?

The whole drama is funny and at the same time shameful.

It is funny that a single individual wants to impose himself as the leader of a 40-man group and he actually thinks he has every right to do so.

It is shameful because the powers that be actually supports his line of reasoning and are willing to make available to him every instrument/machinery of the state for him to achieve such inglorious goal .

Now he will be presiding over members who don't want him on the seat. How will they be able to legislate properly in the best interest of the state when they don't even agree ?

It is not about Meranda it is about the fact that 96% Lagos State Law makers have rejected Obasa.

Anyone who has contrary opinions should come to the assembly plenary and make this known.

You can take a rest if you are tired of doing your job.

Obviously, Obasa remover was without President Tinubu’s approval. Who is behind this coup on Obasa? Maybe the 2nd in power. Who knows?

Re: Lagos Lawmakers Reject Obasa, Insist Meranda Remains Speaker by Xisnin(m): 4:14pm On Feb 27, 2025
Obasa is gone!
He has been impeached.
Even if he invades the assembly with battalions of soldiers, he will still remain
an ordinary member of the house.

Here are the steps for Obasa to become speaker again.
1. Meranda has to resign
2. The house will have to vote Obasa back as speaker
This is never happening.

In fact, it is time to suspend the troublemaker.
