Lagos Assembly Drama: Speaker Obasa's Lawsuit Sparks Concern Amid Tinubu's Plea For Unity

Political Tensions Escalate as Obasa Presses On With Legal Action

In a development that has left many scratching their heads, the political turmoil within the Lagos State House of Assembly shows no signs of abating. Speaker Mudashiru Obasa has made it clear that he's not backing down from his lawsuit against former Speaker Mojisola Meranda and other lawmakers, even after President Bola Tinubu stepped in to mediate. According to insiders, this ongoing legal saga is causing waves of confusion and concern among the leadership ranks of the APC in Lagos.

Let me break this down for you. The political landscape in Lagos has been anything but calm, and now, with Obasa's decision to push forward with his lawsuit, tensions are rising. Despite President Tinubu's efforts to resolve the leadership crisis, Obasa's actions are leaving party leaders puzzled. You'd think that after a direct intervention from the President himself, there'd be some sort of resolution, right? But here we are.

Why Is Obasa Still in Court?

Here's the kicker—sources close to the matter are scratching their heads over why Obasa is still pursuing this legal battle. One source shared, "The truth is, there's a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the party's leadership. We just don't understand why the Speaker is still in court."

Now, here's the interesting part: after President Tinubu's intervention and a high-stakes meeting in Abuja, it seemed like the crisis was on its way to being resolved. But Obasa's determination to keep the legal battle alive is baffling everyone involved. It's like he's doubling down when everyone else thought the issue was settled.

Meranda's Graceful Exit Adds to the Mystery

On the other side of the aisle, Mojisola Meranda has shown remarkable grace by stepping aside in line with the party's resolution. A source told SaharaReporters, "If you know Meranda, you'll realize she's not someone who clings to power at all costs. She's an easygoing person who understood the party's needs and stepped down without hesitation. So, why is Obasa still pursuing this in court? Everyone is watching, and the situation is getting more complicated by the day."

Meranda's decision to relinquish her position for the greater good of the party only highlights the puzzling nature of Obasa's continued legal pursuit. It's like she handed over the baton, but he's still running the race. It raises the question: What exactly is Obasa hoping to achieve by keeping the lawsuit alive?

Obasa’s Lawyer Fires Back

In response to the mounting speculation, Obasa’s legal counsel, Afolabi Fashanu (SAN), has made it crystal clear that there’s no intention to drop the lawsuit. Fashanu dismissed any talk of a potential withdrawal, reinforcing Obasa's stance in this matter.

So, where does this leave us? The political drama in Lagos continues to unfold, with Obasa's decision to keep the legal battle alive adding another layer of complexity. As the APC leadership in Lagos grapples with this ongoing saga, one thing is certain: all eyes are on Speaker Obasa to see what his next move will be.
