President Bola Tinubu and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have reached a political solution to the crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly, which led to the removal of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker. According to sources, Tinubu met with prominent party leaders, including former APC national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, and former governor of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba, to resolve the issue. The meeting concluded that Obasa’s removal was irreversible, and it was decided that his removal should be commuted to resignation, similar to the case of former deputy speaker, Hon. Funmi Tejuosho. This decision was made to give Obasa a soft landing and salvage his political future. The fate of the current speaker, Hon. Mojisola Meranda, was also discussed, and it was decided that she should resign to allow someone from Lagos West to occupy the office. This decision was made to ensure balance and representation among the three senatorial districts in the state. According to sources, Tinubu was not pleased with Obasa’s removal, not because he was special, but because it caught him off guard. However, after several interventions, the president decided to move forward and find a solution to the crisis. The resolution of the crisis is seen as a win-win for all parties involved, and it is expected to bring stability to the Lagos State House of Assembly.
