Nice one.

Obasa Speaker 👍

Meranda Deputy Speaker 👍

Carried out in a democratic manner. 👍

Meranda likely to succeed Obasa as Speaker.

Give it to the Yorubas when it comes to resolving disputes. Those that are Fantasising about chaos and breakdown of law and order in Lagos as a result of small political disputes are already crying everywhere. 😂 😂

You won't teach Yorubas how to manage their affairs. They know better.
But you want to teach fubara how to handle his issues grin
Hypocrite confirmed

He did not scatter anything, Yoruba has natural will of being loyal or reasonable to a course.

Unlike an average person from South South, Yorubas are not violence by nature, they respect opinions of their elders or superiors, and always think beyond politics.
and u want better country due to loyalty right? What happened to all the allegations they brought during impeachment time? Or is he now a saint?

It is not very clear that the allegations might be true that Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff to BAT was the master mind behind Obasa's impeachment. Rumor has it that Gbaja is eyeing the Governor seat in 2027.

When Obasa expressed interest, it threw spanner to the plans of Gbaja. Obasa would be a serious threat to his plans. Amongst the contenders for the seat in 2027, Obasa poses the most threat. He has street credibility, even more than Gbaja. He has the ears of BAT, and the 1st lady, Remi.

Gbaja wanted to cut down the powers of Obasa before the battle.got serious. Unfortunately, Oluremi stepped in and asked BAT to make sure Obasa gets his seat back. Obasa has been very loyal to BAT and his family. Remi reminded BAT of that and how it would look if a loyalist who has done nothing wrong is outsted and treated in such manner. BAT agreed and asked for BAT to be reinstated as speaker.

This is definitely not the end of this matter. If Tinubu feels Gbaja went behind his back to plan this couple and destabilize BATs lagos base, then Gbaja might be given the boot as Chief of Staff. Only time will tell.

Lemmie wait for the details.
...and the fallout.
The next two years are going to be very interesting in Lagos.
So the Lagos parliament does not have powers to determine who leads them by themselves unless the receive approval from some group of people who are constitutionally not recognized to determine parliamentary leadership.
What a failed state!
What a conglomerate of cowards parading themselves as lawmakers!!
What an embarrassment to the sanctity and independence of the legislature!!!
What a f**ckk*ng display of unimaginable mediocrity!!!!

@professorPABX

Thanks for the mention. I just saw the breaking news on IG indicating that Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa is back as the speaker and Princess Meranda is his Deputy. If the arrangement is fine by all the parties involved, then so be it so that peace can reign. The lawmakers ought to have planned the situation better by allowing Obasa to return and defend himself of ALL allegations before seeking to impeach him. All these ego-driven political flip-flops don't speak well of and/or project the known political sagacity of Ipinla Eko (Lagos State) here.

But Obasa too has to work on himself from here on out and be a better Speaker unlike the shameless performance he put up last year when he kept everybody including Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu waiting for hours and when he came in, he didn't offer full apologies for his lateness. I don't know whether he had too much whiskey to drink on that day for him to have put up such a poor performance on live video recordings. That's my take on this unfolding political event.

Have a great day ahead.

Let's hope things pan out that way and Princess Meranda likely takes over after Obasa leaves the stage as the Speaker.

Bloodshed in the name of politics is barbaric.
Politics has always been a game of manipulation and the world over, it will remain so for ages to come.
But the way and manner it's done in Nigeria is so bad.
The brazen impunity without any iota of shame?
How can an ordinary citizen come out publicly to say that members of a state house of assembly do not have the absolute power to determine their leadership?
It's pathetic to say the least.

It is called a game of politics, he may or may not committed any sin before his impeachment.

They are brotherhood before politics, hence their quick resolution.

Don't really understand the color of Nigeria problem, when they are at war, person nor rest for comment, they are now at peace, it is just a simple congratulations to them that peace have reign. If it goes to the right TInubu, it goes to the left TInubu, who him wife cheat on am, na still TInubu. Any way thank God for peace
Most of the people that are against this peaceful resolution are disappointed because their evil wishes were cut short.

This is nonsense.

Sensible people have said nothing about ethnicity. They are making their observations and assessing things as they happen. You and your kind have nothing of value to contribute so you devalue the conversation in your race to the bottom.
