On Thursday, Thirty-six members of the Lagos State House of Assembly who supported Mojisola Meranda restated that Meranda is the rightful leader of the House and that Mudashiru Obasa’s dismissal as Speaker was final.
The lawmakers convened at the Assembly garden, maintaining their stance based on their February 17 vote of confidence in Meranda, despite Obasa’s return.
Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Strategy, and Security, Stephen Ogundipe, condemned the ongoing situation and called for calm.
He said: “This is Lagos, the State House of Assembly. We’re shocked to see what’s happening here today.
“Whatever is going to happen, the leadership should speak with us and not this charade we’re witnessing.
“We are humiliated by this action. I was stopped at the gate from entering the assembly chamber. This is an embarrassment, and it must stop.
“We are not against the leadership’s decisions, but they should call us and tell us instead of hearing rumours. They’re our leaders, we’ll still stand and obey their decisions.
“We reject Obasa in totality,” he declared.
The lawmakers also chorused, “We reject Obasa in totality.”
