Breaking: Speakership crisis: Mudasiru Obasa makes a shocking claim

Embattled former Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa has made a shocking claim: his successor, Mojisola Meranda, has resigned.

Obasa, who was removed by 36 of the 40-member House, insists he’s still the rightful Speaker.

He alleges that Meranda announced her resignation at a meeting with Lagos APC leaders in Marina ¹.

Obasa pointed to the withdrawal of Meranda’s security aides and the reinstatement of his own as evidence.

However, it’s worth noting that Meranda’s resignation has not been confirmed, and some sources even deny it ².

Despite his removal, Obasa maintains that the process was invalid, citing the rules of the House and the Constitution. He’s even gone as far as presiding over a plenary with just four members present, under heavy security .

The situation is undoubtedly contentious, and it remains to be seen how it will unfold.
