•Speaker Mojisola Meranda
The Lagos State House of Assembly has reacted to the statement made by the former Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, who is insisting that he remains the speaker.
According to a statement signed by Ogundipe Olukayode on behalf of the Assembly, it is imperative to clarify that over two-third of the state assembly members are united behind the new Speaker, Mojisola Meranda.
The lawmakers said nothing could change the decision taken on January 13 when Obasa was impeached as the speaker.
Olukayode said as elected representatives of the people of Lagos, the assembly members owe the public good governance and harmonious relationship with other arms of government.
He said, “The position of the house remains the same and nothing has changed. The position being canvassed by former Speaker, Rt Hon Obasa is uncalled for and unparliamentary.”
He further explained that the majority of members elected Obasa as speaker for the 10th Assembly and later took a majority decision to remove him.
He appealed to the former speaker to toe the line of peace and harmony as being followed by others.
