JUST-IN: Obasa Regains Speakership of Lagos Assembly as Meranda Steps Down and Becomes Deputy
Emmanuel Femi Adedayo 
Mudashiru Obasa has officially reclaimed his position as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, following a sudden leadership reshuffle within the state legislative assembly.
The development took place on Monday during a plenary session, where key presiding officers unexpectedly stepped down.
The shake-up saw Mojisola Meranda, who had briefly led the House following the impeachment of Obasa, officially sworn in as the Deputy Speaker.
His re-election followed the nomination by a former Majority Leader of the House, Noheem Adams, who represents Eti-Osa Constituency 1.
Obasa subsequently took the oath of office as the new Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly seven weeks after his removal.
He was first elected into the House in 2007. He has been in the chamber since then. He emerged as a speaker in June 2015 before his removal in January 2025.
