Lagos lawmakers meet president Tinubu amid power struggle

Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have arrived at the State House in Abuja for a crucial meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The meeting comes amid an ongoing power tussle within the Assembly, drawing significant political attention.

According to reports, the legislators, who traveled in two coaster buses, have been granted access to the President’s office area, where they await the meeting.

Notably, the delegation includes both the reinstated Speaker, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, and the ousted Speaker, Hon. Mojisola Miranda, underscoring the deepening leadership crisis within the Assembly.

While Meranda arrived with her colleagues at some minutes past 2pm, Obasa arrived separately at about 2:50pm.

The meeting may not be unconnected with the recent leadership crisis in the State House of Assembly.

It would be recalled that Hon. Obasa was impeached as Speaker by a majority of his colleagues, but he was latter reinstated after the intervention of the political leaders especially the Governor’s Advisory Council, (GAC).

Despite the Speaker’s reinstatement, it was gathered that the bad blood as a result of his impeachment is yet to be over.
