BREAKING: Obasa Files Lawsuit Against New Speaker Meranda and Lagos Assembly

Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has initiated a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, seeking an immediate order for his reinstatement as Speaker.

Court documents obtained by TrackNews Online indicate that Obasa is contesting his removal on January 13, 2025, asserting that it was wrongful and unconstitutional. The lawsuit, filed on February 14, 2025, names the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.

This legal action follows unsuccessful attempts to resolve the leadership dispute through political negotiations. Sources confirm that multiple high-level meetings, involving political figures from Lagos and Abuja, were convened to mediate the crisis but concluded in a stalemate.

Some lawmakers reportedly fear that Obasa’s potential reinstatement could provoke political reprisals against those who supported his removal.

With the case now in court, the battle for Lagos Assembly leadership transitions to the judiciary, as stakeholders await the ruling and its implications for the state’s legislative stability.
