Obasa Re-elected as Lagos Speaker Following Meranda’s Resignation

A lawmaker representing Agege Constituency I, Mudashiru Obasa, has been re-elected as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Obasa was re-elected on Monday following the resignation of Mojisola Meranda, who stepped down as Speaker of the House.

Meranda had assumed office seven weeks ago after lawmakers unanimously impeached Obasa.

Obasa’s re-election followed the nomination of a former Majority Leader of the House, Noheem Adams, representing Eti-Osa Constituency 1.

Obasa had dismissed his impeachment as a joke, claiming it did not follow due process.
