The Lagos State House of Assembly has re-elected Mudashiru Obasa as speaker nearly two months after his impeachment in January.
The re-election was announced at the House chamber on Monday after speaker Moji Meranda resigned her position, capping weeks of internal wranglings that assailed the assembly.
Mr Obasa had derided his impeachment as a joke, claiming it did not follow due process.
He had also given his word not to punish more than 30 state legislators who voted to oust him from office, describing them as his brothers and sisters.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda has resigned her position.
Meranda resigned as the speaker of the Lagos Assembly on Monday, March 3, during the plenary at the chambers.
Her resignation comes barely hours after she had a meeting with the impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Attorney General of Lagos State.
Speaking while presiding over the plenary, Meranda said she was making a selfless service to preserve the institution.
