Lagos Assembly: How Akande-Led Panel Forced Meranda Out and Reinstated Obasa

 The political landscape of the Lagos State House of Assembly witnessed a dramatic shift as the Akande-led panel played a crucial role in the removal of Hon. Mojisola Meranda and the reinstatement of Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.

The leadership tussle, which had been brewing for weeks, saw key stakeholders within the assembly take decisive steps to resolve the impasse.

According to sources within the assembly, the crisis was fueled by internal disagreements over legislative decisions and power dynamics. The Akande-led panel was tasked with investigating the situation, and its findings ultimately led to Meranda’s removal. In contrast, Speaker Obasa, who had faced opposition from certain quarters, was reinstated after receiving strong backing from lawmakers aligned with the panel’s recommendations.

Political analysts believe that this move solidifies Obasa’s grip on the assembly’s leadership while signaling a warning to any dissenting voices. As the assembly moves forward, the key question remains whether this resolution will bring lasting stability or if more power struggles will emerge in the coming months.
