…..Orders Obasa To Withdraw Suit Against Lawmakers

 

 

 

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has thrown his weight behind reinstated Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, saying that he won’t resign his position as earlier agreed during the reconciliation meeting with former All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande.

 

It would be recalled that the reconciliation panel comprising Akande, Aremo Olusegun Osoba and Governance Advisory Council members recommended resignation of Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda to pave way for Obasa’s reinstatement.

 

They also advise the embattled Speaker to resign and allow fresh Speaker to emerge from Lagos West Senatorial District.

 

However, Obasa who is representing Agege Constituency 1 refused to resign inline with the agreement before his reinstatement on March 3, 2025.

 

The verdict of President Tinubu has however quashed the recommendation of the Reconciliation Committee.

 

Rather, President Tinubu said the other Lawmakers should unite him and allow to work effectively.

 

He further stated that despite the series of complains and allegations leveled against him, that would not make him resign his position, urging Obasa to amend his ways and unite with his colleagues.

 

Tinubu however ordered Obasa to withdraw his Impeachment Suit at the Lagos High Court against the Deputy Speaker, Meranda, and the Lawmakers with immediate effect.

 

The Lawmakers agreed to the decision of President Tinubu and promised to sheathe their swords.

 

The meeting with the Lagos Lawmakers took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the nation’s Capital.
