Tinubu backs return of Obasa as Lagos Speaker
President Bola Tinubu has backed the return of Rt (Hon) Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The President’s intervention is believed to return peace to the House.
It would be recalled that Tinubu met with the 40 lawmakers at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, on Wednesday.
Emerging from the President’s office at about 4:30pm on Wednesday,members of the delegation were heard chorusing the lyrics “on your mandate, we shall stand.”
For about five minutes the lawmakers sang “on your mandate, we shall stand,” a popular political lyric commonly used by supporters of President Tinubu to affirm their loyalty to him.
The song rented the air as they filed out towards the two coaster busses parked and waiting for their departure from the forecourt area.
Meanwhile, Obasa resisted to speak to newsmen as he made his way out of the State House.
However, Hon James Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives who was walking with him, when asked about the outcome of the meeting, responded “it went well”.
