BREAKING: Obasa, Lagos Assembly Members meet Tinubu amid lingering tensions
President Bola Tinubu is set to meet with the entire Lagos State House of Assembly at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Speaker Mudashiru Obasa arrived at 2:50 p.m., joining his colleagues who had arrived earlier in two coaster buses.
The meeting aims to address the recent leadership crisis in the House, which saw Obasa impeached and later reinstated following interventions from political leaders and the Governing Advisory Council (GAC).
Despite his reinstatement, tensions persist among lawmakers.
Meanwhile, Obasa has filed a corruption case against former Speaker Mojisola Meranda and remains in court challenging the allegations that led to his impeachment, including fraud, high-handedness, abuse of office, and gross misconduct.
The respondents in the suit include members of the State Assembly and Meranda, with the court scheduled to hear the matter on March 17.
