Despite rumors that Obasa would step down within 48 hours to allow for a new Speaker from Lagos West, the APC has denied such claims. The party emphasized that there was no agreement for Obasa’s resignation as part of the negotiations.

APC spokesperson Seye Oladejo confirmed that there was no mention of a resignation in the settlement terms. Oladejo also mentioned that Obasa is expected to withdraw the lawsuit he filed against his colleagues, which is seen as a step towards fostering peace and progress within the House and the party.
