Emerging from Tinubu’s office at about 4:30 pm, members of the delegation were heard chorusing the lyrics ‘On your mandate, we shall stand.’’
President Bola Tinubu has asked Lagos State Assembly lawmakers to let Speaker Mr Mudashiru Obasa be.
This is according to a report by Vanguard.
The report stated that the President gave the order during a meeting with Obasa and the lawmakers yesterday.
Vanguard reports that at the end of the meeting, Tinubu insisted that Obasa should remain the Speaker, but warned that he should carry his colleagues along.
It was further gathered that the President directed Obasa to withdraw the court case.
After the peace parley, Obasa declined to talk to State House correspondents who had waited to get the outcome of the parley which was held behind closed doors.
Mr Obasa had arrived at about 2:50 pm and was led separately to the President’s office, while his colleagues arrived earlier in two coaster buses that were driven through the forecourt route for the meeting.
Although the agenda was not made public to journalists at the time of filing this report, sources hinted that the meeting was in connection with the recent leadership crisis in the State House of Assembly.
Emerging from Tinubu’s office at about 4:30 pm, members of the delegation were heard chorusing the lyrics ‘On your mandate, we shall stand.’’
