Breaking News: Police Restore Obasa’s Security Details as the Ex-Speaker Storms the Lagos Assembly Complex
Lagos, Nigeria – The ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has made a dramatic entrance at the assembly complex, sending shockwaves through the political landscape of the state.
In a significant development, the police have restored Obasa’s security details, while withdrawing those assigned to his successor, Meranda. This move has fuelled speculation that Obasa is set for a return to his former position, further intensifying the political drama.
Obasa, who was recently removed from his position under controversial circumstances, arrived at the complex unannounced, prompting speculation about his intentions and the possible fallout of his visit. Witnesses reported heightened security presence as tensions ran high among lawmakers and assembly staff.
The circumstances surrounding his removal remain a subject of debate, with reports suggesting internal political wrangling and power struggles within the ruling party. While some lawmakers have supported Obasa’s leadership, others have called for a new direction, leading to his removal.
It remains unclear whether Obasa’s arrival signals an attempt to reclaim his position or simply a move to address his supporters and allies within the assembly. However, his presence has reignited discussions about the stability of the legislative arm of government in Lagos State.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on the assembly complex, with analysts and political observers awaiting further developments. The Lagos State Government has yet to issue an official statement regarding the unfolding drama.
