Ikeja, Lagos state – The removed speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has returned to his position.

Vanguard noted the update in a news report on Monday afternoon, March 3.

Legit.ng reports that the development comes after much pressure from certain heavyweights within the Lagos chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The pressure had led to the resignation of Mojisola Meranda on Monday, March 3, and taking up her former role as deputy speaker.

On January 13, 2025, Obasa was impeached by the majority members of the Lagos state house of assembly over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office. Meranda was immediately elected and sworn in as his successor.

Despite the vote of confidence passed on Meranda by her colleagues in February, some influential APC chieftains in Lagos state who are not state legislators are widely believed to have influenced the dramatic turn of events.
