Ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has made a dramatic entry into the assembly complex, accompanied by security officials.
Obasa arrived at the Speaker’s Office around noon on Thursday, in a move that has heightened tensions within the legislative chamber. His presence follows the reported withdrawal of security aides assigned to the current Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, raising further speculations about an ongoing power struggle within the assembly.
The Chief Press Secretary to Speaker Meranda, Segun Ajiboye, alleged that Obasa and his team forcefully broke into the Speaker’s Office, an action that has sparked controversy and drawn reactions from lawmakers and political observers.
A source close to Obasa’s camp, however, confirmed that they are at the assembly, but did not provide further details regarding their next course of action.
With the unfolding events, concerns continue to grow over the leadership crisis rocking the Lagos State House of Assembly, as political stakeholders and observers keenly await further developments.
More details to follow as the situation unfolds.
