The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, in the aftermath of his reelection, he was seen acknowledging APC leaders, specifically Chief Bisi Akande, Osoba, and appreciated his deputy, Mojisola Meranda for her loyalty.

Obasa appreciated Meranda for her loyalty while he battled for his reinstatement as Speaker.

In his speech while presiding over plenary, Obasa also expressed gratitude to the leaders of the All-Progressives Congress, APC.

Obasa appreciated former Osun State governor, Bisi Akande, former Ogun State governor, Olusegun Osoba, and the leaders of the Governance Advisory Council, GAC, for facilitating his return as Speaker.

Recall that lawmakers of the Assembly had impeached Obasa in January for alleged misappropriation and Meranda was sworn in as his replacement.

But Obasa had insisted that the lawmakers failed to abide by the due process of law.

In February, Obasa returned to the Assembly and forcefully entered the office of the Speaker and declared himself Speaker.

However, on Monday Obasa, Meranda, and other lawmakers of the Assembly had a meeting outside the complex.

After the meeting, Meranda resigned as Speaker and Obasa was reinstated to his former position.

Speaking during plenary, Obasa said: “I want to start by appreciating my colleagues and thank you for your support, dedication, loyalty, staunch belief in our party, and utmost respect for our party leaders.

“Let me single out my sister, the deputy Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, who has been supportive and loyal as deputy Speaker, I thank you ma.

“Let me recognize our party chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi; our Attorney General, Pedro we thank you for being in our mist today.

“I’m very sure that Lagosians will like to hear more from me but today is not a day for speech making but to appreciate my colleagues and all our leaders who have pit a lot to this gathering today.

“I recognize our national leader, Bisi Akande, his counterpart from Ogun State, Osoba; All our GAC leaders we thank them; our governor and his deputy from Lagos State, we thank you.

“What is happening here today shows that Lagos State House of Assembly is very capable, a matured house that has internal mechanisms to resolve issues in the interest of the institution and our party.”
