Lagos Speaker, lawmakers pay courtesy visit to Sanwo-Olu

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, and members of the House paid a courtesy visit to the state governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the Lagos House, Marina.

The visit, Tribune Online observed, was connected with the change in leadership at the Assembly.

During an emergency plenary on Monday, 90 per cent of the lawmakers unanimously removed the former Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, from office.

He was removed on allegations bordering on misuse of power and lack of respect for members of the House.

When contacted on the purpose of the visit to the Lagos House, the lawmakers refused to comment.

But a legislative aide who craved anonymity told Tribune Online that Governor Sanwo-Olu held a closed-door meeting with the lawmakers where he gave a standing instruction to them not to grant any interview on happenings within the House.

The source stated that the position was adopted in order not to overheat the already tense Lagos polity.
