The Lagos State House of Assembly has re-elected Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker, nearly two months after his impeachment in January.
His return to the position was confirmed on Monday during a plenary session at the Assembly chamber, following the resignation of Moji Meranda, who stepped down after weeks of political tension within the legislative house.
Obasa had previously dismissed his removal as a “joke”, insisting that due process was not followed in his impeachment.
Despite the circumstances surrounding his return, the Speaker pledged not to seek retribution against the over 30 lawmakers who voted for his removal.
“I hold no grudges against any of my brothers and sisters in this House,” Obasa assured, signaling an attempt at reconciliation amid the Assembly’s internal crisis.
