Lagos speaker, Meranda moves to speaker's office, as Obasa refuses to leave residence

Mojisola Meranda, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has officially moved into the office of the Speaker.

The Speaker was accompanied into the office by all the lawmakers, excluding the former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.

Meanwhile, the impeached Speaker, Obasa, has yet to vacate the official residence and office designated for the Speaker despite being replaced by Meranda.

Obasa, who was removed from office while away in the United States, has claimed his impeachment was unconstitutional.

However, lawmakers of the Lagos State House of Assembly maintain that the decision was legitimate, supported by 32 out of 40 members of the Assembly.

A source within the Assembly disclosed that Obasa’s aides have already vacated the premises but confirmed that the former Speaker himself remains in the official quarters.

“Things will be sorted out administratively,” the source remarked.

“He will vacate the residence in due course and also move from the Speaker’s office to an office assigned for him as a floor member.”

This development follows a contentious leadership change in the Assembly, which has sparked debates about the constitutionality of the impeachment process.
