Tinubu Set to Meet Obasa, Lagos Assembly Members for Key Discussions
President Bola Tinubu is set to meet with members of the Lagos State House of Assembly at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday.
The reinstated Speaker, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, arrived at the Presidential Villa at 2:50 PM, while several lawmakers had earlier arrived in two white Coaster buses. The private meeting is scheduled to take place in the President’s office.
The gathering is believed to be linked to the recent leadership crisis within the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Obasa was removed as Speaker in January 2025 by some members of the 40-member House of Assembly but was later reinstated following the intervention of key political figures, particularly members of the Governing Advisory Council (GAC) in Lagos.

Despite his reinstatement, tensions persist within the Assembly, with reports indicating that the fallout from the impeachment has not been fully resolved.
