Hon. Mojisola Meranda Ojora was immediately sworn in as the new Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. The lawmaker representing Apapa Constituency I in the Lagos House of Assembly, Moji Ojora, previously served as Deputy Speaker of the House.

Reacting to the development, Igbokwe took to his Facebook page to applaud the Assembly’s decision, calling it long overdue.

“The deed is done in LAHA!!! Hon Mudashiru Obasa impeached as Speaker Lagos State House of Assembly for gross misconduct and abuse of office. Hon Mojisola Meranda Ojora is the new Speaker,” Igbokwe wrote.

Allegations Of Discord With Governor
Igbokwe further alleged that Obasa’s strained relationship with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu played a significant role in his downfall.

“He was on Governor Sanwo-Olu’s neck for years. Every attempt to persuade him to work with the Governor fell on deaf ears. Many interventions by GAC [Governor’s Advisory Council] members did not help matters,” he commented under his post.
