Background

The Lagos State House of Assembly has been experiencing significant turmoil since January 13, 2025, following the removal of Speaker Mudashiru Obasa over allegations of corruption, abuse of office, and highhandedness. Subsequently, Hon. Mojisola Meranda was appointed as the first female Speaker of the Assembly. However, her tenure has been marred by ongoing disputes, leading to discussions about her potential resignation to restore stability within the Assembly.

Hon. Setonji David’s resignation as Chief Whip is a strategic move aimed at facilitating a broader leadership restructuring within the Assembly. Given his extensive experience, including over 25 years of service in various capacities within the Lagos State Government and his tenure as a three-term legislator, David is considered a pivotal figure in the Assembly’s efforts to regain stability.

Conclusion

The resignation of Hon. Setonji David as Chief Whip explains the complexities of the current leadership crisis within the Lagos State House of Assembly. As the Assembly navigates this period of transition, the focus remains on restoring effective governance and maintaining public trust in the legislative process.
