Meanwhile, the camp of the embattled ex-speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, is reportedly plotting to remove the incumbent Speaker, Mojisola Meranda.
Recall that after a series of failed attempts to remove Meranda since her emergence on January 13, 2025, there have been a series of permutations to return embattled Obasa to power.
Inside sources that confided in Vanguard over the weekend said there are indications Meranda will be removed at any moment.
According to the source, the latest plot is to elect a lawmaker from the West, preferably from Ikeja, after the Ifako-Ijaiye candidate declined the offer, along with others who have restated unalloyed loyalty to Meranda.
APC leaders, with a soft spot for Obasa, are reportedly plotting to see to the emergence of a proxy speaker from the Ikeja constituency and, after a few weeks, relinquish positions to pave the way for Obasa’s emergence, who, in turn, is expected to resign for a favoured candidate as speaker.
