Mudashiru Obasa re-elected as Lagos Speaker following Meranda’s resignation

Mudashiru Obasa, the lawmaker representing Agege Constituency I, has been re-elected as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Obasa’s re-election took place on Monday following the resignation of Mojisola Meranda, who stepped down from her position as Speaker of the House.

His return to the leadership role came after the nomination of Noheem Adams, a former Majority Leader and representative of Eti-Osa Constituency I. However, the assembly members voted in favor of Obasa, securing his reappointment as Speaker.

Obasa, a seasoned lawmaker, has previously served multiple terms as Speaker, making him one of the longest-serving leaders of the Lagos Assembly. His re-election is expected to maintain continuity in the legislative direction of the House.
