SAHARA REPORTERS

Lagos State Assembly Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, along with members of the House opposing the reinstatement of impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, have engaged the services of senior lawyers—Femi Falana (SAN), Tayo Oyetibo (SAN), and Muiz Banire (SAN)—to represent them in their legal battle against Obasa.

[…] “The lawyers will appear for the House and Speaker, Meranda today (Friday) for court proceedings,” a source told SaharaReporters.

Meanwhile, 36 lawmakers of the Assembly have openly rejected the reinstatement claims of impeached Obasa, calling his return a “charade” and an “embarrassment.”

Speaking to journalists at the Assembly Complex on Thursday, the lawmakers reaffirmed their loyalty to Speaker Meranda and demanded respect from the APC leadership over the unfolding power struggle.
