Away from Liberia, Mudashiru Obasa, the former Speaker of the Lagos Assembly who was impeached (removed from his position) last month, made a dramatic return to the Assembly complex. But he didn’t come alone. He arrived with a team of over 11 heavily armed police officers, turning heads and raising eyebrows as he walked into the building.
What makes this even more surprising is that just hours before Obasa’s arrival, the security details of the current Speaker, Meranda Mojisola, were suddenly withdrawn. This left Meranda and the Assembly building without proper protection, sparking concerns about safety and stability in the legislative house.
Obasa didn’t waste any time. He marched straight to the Speaker’s office, the very office he once occupied before his impeachment. Along the way, he ignored his colleagues, who were seen gathered in the Assembly’s garden, deep in discussion about the ongoing political crisis. It was a bold move, to say the least, and it has left many wondering about his intentions.
This incident has raised serious questions about the state of affairs in the Lagos Assembly. Why were Meranda’s security aides withdrawn so abruptly? Was Obasa’s return planned or spontaneous? And what does this mean for the future of Lagos’s leadership?
For now, the situation remains tense. The withdrawal of security from the current Speaker has left the Assembly vulnerable, and Obasa’s sudden appearance with armed escorts has only added to the uncertainty. Many are watching closely to see how this political drama will unfold in the coming days.
Politics can often feel like a complicated web of power struggles, but at its core, it’s about leadership and the people they serve. As Lagosians, we can only hope that this crisis is resolved quickly and peacefully, so that the Assembly can get back to doing what it’s meant to do: serving the people.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow this story and bring you updates. Let’s hope for a resolution that puts the interests of Lagos and its citizens first.
