Sanwo-Olu, New Lagos Speaker Meet, Reaffirm Harmonious Relationship

Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly,  Mojisola Meranda, yesterday, led her team of principal officers on a courtesy visit to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at Lagos House, Ikeja.

The visit provided an opportunity to reaffirm the legislature’s commitment to maintaining a harmonious working relationship with the executive arm of government.

Meranda stressed the importance of alignment between the two arms of administration, noting that such collaboration was essential for the continued growth and development of the state.

The governor appreciated the visit and reiterated his administration’s resolve to work closely with the House to achieve the state’s developmental goals.

“This alignment ensures that Lagos remains a model of excellence in governance. We will build on the successes of the past, and work tirelessly to deliver transformational progress across all sectors,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu also expressed confidence in the shared vision of the executive and legislative arms to implement policies and projects that deliver on the Greater Lagos agenda.

The collaboration, he noted, would enhance the state’s efforts in delivering impactful governance and sustainable development for its residents.

MEANWHILE, the immediate past Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, has reportedly landed in Abuja. According to sources, Obasa, who supposedly flew in on Sunday evening, was seen without his usual retinue of aides and security operatives at the arrival hall.

He was said to have arrived in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he made a spirited but failed attempt to see President Bola Tinubu.He flew to Atlanta, Georgia, United States on January 8 with some loyal lawmakers, and the former Clerk of the House, Mr. Olalekan Onafeko.

Recall that Obasa was removed alongside the clerk on January 13 by 32 of the 40-lawmaker chamber.
