Political U-Turn: Tinubu Supports Obasa’s Return as Lagos Speaker

President Bola Tinubu has told lawmakers in Lagos State to bring back Mudashiru Obasa as their Speaker. Obasa was removed from the position three weeks ago because he was accused of using government money for things that were never bought. This is called corruption.

The New Speaker’s Problem
After Obasa was removed, a new Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, was chosen. But there’s a big issue: Obasa is still living in the official house for the Speaker, and he refuses to leave. Because of this, Meranda hasn’t been able to move in.

Why Does President Tinubu Want Obasa Back?
President Tinubu thinks the problems caused by removing Obasa are worse than the mistakes he made. He wants lawmakers to let Obasa return as Speaker for a short time to avoid bigger political issues. Some lawmakers are unhappy with this decision because they feel it’s like rewarding bad behaviour.

What Do Lawmakers Think?
Some lawmakers are worried that bringing Obasa back could cause more trouble. One person even said it’s like trying to calm a dangerous snake after cutting off its head—meaning it could get worse! But most lawmakers are agreeing to the president’s request because they don’t want to upset him. Tinubu is very powerful in Lagos politics, and most lawmakers are part of his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

What’s Next?
Obasa met with Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu over the weekend, and it looks like he might return as Speaker very soon. Everyone is waiting to see what happens next in this political drama!

This story shows how politics can be complicated, even for grown-ups! What do you think should happen next?
