Exclusive: Netizens React To Lagos Assembly’s Fresh Announcement

The Lagos State House of Assembly, under the leadership of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, has unveiled the new chairpersons for its standing committees. The announcement was made during Monday’s plenary session……READ MORE 

The appointed chairpersons are as follows:

• Hon. Temitope Adewale – Business and Rules Committee
• Hon. Richard Kasumu – Legislative Compliance Committee
• Hon. Setonji David – Ethics, Protocol, and Privileges Committee
• Hon. Surajudeen Tijani – House Services Committee
• Hon. Stephen Ogundipe – Information, Strategy, and Security Committee

Meanwhile, reports suggest that loyalists of the former Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, are actively plotting to unseat Mojisola Meranda. Since Meranda’s emergence as Speaker on January 13, 2025, multiple attempts to remove her have failed, but sources indicate that fresh strategies are being considered to reinstate Obasa.

According to insiders, the current plan involves electing a lawmaker from the West, preferably from Ikeja, as a temporary Speaker. This individual would serve briefly before stepping down, paving the way for Obasa’s return. Obasa, in turn, is expected to eventually resign to allow a preferred candidate to assume the role of Speaker.
