A day after her election, the new Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, on Tuesday, visited members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) for their blessings.
Meranda told newsmen she went to “brief them about what happened at the House of Assembly yesterday (Monday) and to seek their blessings, which we have gotten”.
The endorsement came just as Meranda sought the cooperation and support of the council members to succeed. GAC, created by President Bola Tinubu, is the highest decision-making body of the party in the state.
GAC’s endorsement was given when Meranda and some key principal officers met at a crucial meeting held at Lagos House, Marina.
Speaking to newsmen after a closed-door meeting, the Speaker said, “We briefed the GAC about what happened at the state House of Assembly and to seek their blessings, which we have gotten.”
Meanwhile, the GAC, led by Tajudeen Olusi, declined to comment when asked by the press.
However, it was gathered that the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, left Nigeria on Monday night for an official event.
Recall that the former Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, who is currently abroad, was impeached by members of the House of Assembly on Monday over various misconducts and financial misappropriations.
Obasa was replaced immediately with the election of Meranda. Also, the Clerk of the House, Olalekan Onafeko, was removed, and all standing committees of the House were dissolved.
