The Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) members were visited by Mojisola Lasbat Meranda on Tuesday, the day after she was elected as the new Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, in order to “brief them about what happened at the House of Assembly yesterday and to seek their blessings which we have gotten.”

At Lagos House, Marina, Meranda met with members of the State Assembly and GAC, the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) highest decision-making body in Lagos.

More than two-thirds of the 40-member legislative house impeached Mudashiru Obasa for suspected misbehaviour and other offences, ending his 10-year rule. Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency I, was elected speaker on Monday.

Abiodun Tobun, an Assembly member from Epe Constituency 1, stated that in order to preserve the “sanctity” and “integrity” of the House, parliamentarians removed Obasa as Speaker.

Tobun informed reporters that members of the 40-member Assembly unanimously decided to remove Obasa from office.

He said, “The Constitution makes it clear that the House has the powers to regulate its proceedings. So, the members of the House felt that they’ve had enough of the Rt Hon Mudashiru Obasa and today, we have unanimously agreed that Rt Hon Mojisola Meranda Lasbat become the new Speaker of the House.

“So, it was a resolution concurred to by all members of the parliament and so be it. We cannot open our House and allow this parliament to dwindle. We owe our constituents a duty and we owe Lagos State a duty of ensuring that the sanctity of the House and the integrity of this House are restored.”
