President Bola Tinubu appears to have successfully resolved the internal leadership feud within the Lagos State House of Assembly after hosting a fruitful closed-door reconciliation meeting with forty lawmakers, including the Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and Mojisola Meranda, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The intervention was prompted by concerns that the lingering power struggle—which involved Obasa's impeachment, reinstatement, subsequent resignation disputes, and financial misappropriation allegations—was dividing the state along ethnic lines and threatening future political stability. Following the President's assurance that all individual interests would be protected and his directive to resist external interference, the lawmakers exited the meeting united and pledging their loyalty, while ruling party officials and governance advisory council members welcomed the peace deal as a necessary step toward restoring legislative focus and harmony in Lagos State.
