On Thursday, supporters of the ousted Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, gathered at the assembly complex to show their backing. In videos and photos circulating on social media, the supporters were seen holding placards and chanting songs in support of Obasa at the entrance of the complex.
The incident followed reports that Obasa, accompanied by some security officials, had entered the Speaker’s office around noon. This action came after the security aides of the current Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, were reportedly withdrawn.
The Chief Press Secretary to Meranda, Segun Ajiboye, confirmed the incident, accusing Obasa and his team of allegedly breaking into the Speaker’s office. This development has sparked further tension within the assembly.
