The Lagos State Speaker, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, outsted speaker Mudashiru Obasa, and all the 38 lawmakers is currently holding a strategic meeting with Lagos State Attorney General Lawal Mohammed Alade Pedro (SAN) and APC Chairman Cornelius Ojelabi at the assembly garden ahead of the plenary scheduled for later this afternoon.
The purpose of this meeting has not been disclosed to journalists, but it is believed to be linked to last week’s turmoil in the house.
Insight Media reports that Obasa stormed the assembly complex and held a plenary session with four lawmakers, despite his impeachment by the majority of the house, which led to the emergence of Meranda as the new Speaker.
With the reports gathered on Monday, Meranda may step down following the intervention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command has deployed personnel to the assembly complex to ensure tight security and prevent any disruption by miscreants or thugs.
