Mudasiru Obasa who represents Agege Constituency I, has been reinstated as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly putting an end to the seven weeks crises in the house following his removal.
He was sworn in on Monday after Mojisola Meranda stepped down as Speaker.
His re-election followed the nomination by a former Majority Leader of the House, Noheem Adams, who represents Eti-Osa Constituency 1.
Obasa subsequently took the oath of office as the new Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Meanwhile, Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency I, has been re-elected by lawmakers as the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly.
The lawmakers commended her leadership style and for bringing peace to the Lagos State House of Assembly. They also commended her strength and humility for obeying the rules and regulations of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Meranda’s resignation followed a reported meeting with some high-ranking members of the APC in the state to navigate the leadership crisis that has rocked the hallowed chambers in the last seven weeks.
In January, lawmakers impeached Obasa as Speaker following allegations of misappropriation, and Meranda was sworn in.
In February, Obasa returned to the Assembly and declared himself Speaker, stressing that he was never removed.
