In a bid to resolve the crisis rocking the Lagos State House of Assembly, President Bola Tinubu has drafted names of Stakeholder in the All Progressives Congress that would wade into the matter.
According to information obtained by 9News Nigeria, as at 11:59PM of Sunday, 23rd, 2025, the stakeholders were in a marathon meeting at the Governor’s Lodge in Marina, Lagos State.
9News Nigeria discovered that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, former governors including; that of Osun, Chief Bisi Akande, Ogun, Chief Olusegun Osoba and Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode, were at the meeting.
All members of the Lagos Governance Advisory Council, the present Lagos chairman of the APC, Cornelius Ojelabi, and the former state chairman of the party, Tunde Balogun, were also at the meeting.
After the meeting, the party chieftains are expected to call all the Lagos lawmakers for another round of meeting.
A source privy to the development told reporters that the meeting was aimed at resolving the speakership tussle between ousted Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and current Speaker Mojisola Meranda.
The source disclosed that while some lawmakers want Obasa to return as Speaker of the House, a faction does not want his return.
The development comes following the inability of the GAC members to resolve the crisis which began on January 13 2025 when about 36 lawmakers removed Obasa as Speaker and replaced him with Meranda, who was then a Deputy Speaker.
Obasa, who has since faulted his removal, dragged the Assembly and the new Speaker, Meranda, before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja, claiming that the lawmakers were wrong to have removed him when the Assembly was in recess.
