A source confirmed to The Frontier that there’s currently a heavy presence of security agents at the state house of assembly complex, Alausa, Ikeja.
All entreaties by The Frontier to reach the Chief Press Secretary to Speaker Obasa, Mr Eremosele, for confirmation were not successful as his line was placed on “Busy” while a message sent to him on WhatsApp was not responded to as at time of filing this report.
It would be recalled that Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu have been at loggerheads for sometime now.
Obasa also recently went ahead to declare publicly his intention to run for the office of the Lagos State governor in the next general elections.
