Lagos Speakership tussle: Meranda presides over plenary after meeting with Obasa, lawmakers

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, on Monday presided over plenary.
This was after a meeting with lawmakers, which was attended by ousted Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.
After the meeting, Obasa met with Lawal Pedro, the Lagos Attorney General, and Cornelius Ojelabi, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos.
The plenary proceeded without incident as security operatives surrounded the complex to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
In January, lawmakers removed Obasa over allegations of misappropriation while he was in the United States. His deputy, Meranda, was sworn in as Speaker.
On February 27, Obasa returned to the Assembly and declared himself Speaker, insisting that he was never removed.
He maintained that the alleged removal did not follow due process.
Obasa also presided over plenary with four members, while 27 others aligned with Meranda.
However, there are rumours that Meranda may step down for Obasa.

Russia vs Ukraine: You want war – Kremlin slams Zelenskyy’s diplomacy after fiery clash with Trump

The Kremlin has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his heated Oval Office meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, saying the Ukrainian leader showed a complete lack of diplomatic skills.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Russian news agency Interfax that the exchange was unprecedented, in comments released on Monday.
He said Russian President Vladimir Putin had watched Friday’s meeting between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents.
The meeting quickly devolved into a shouting match, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful for U.S. support to his country.
The talks, held in front of the press, were cut short, and the Ukrainian delegation left the White House without signing a planned minerals deal with the United States.
Russian politicians had already reacted mockingly to the showdown, but this was the first reaction from Putin’s office.
Peskov said the talks between Trump and Zelenskyy highlighted how difficult it would be to achieve a peace deal in the conflict.
“The regime in Kyiv and Zelenskyy do not want peace. They want the war to continue,” Peskov said, echoing statements made by Trump on Friday.
Zelenskyy emphasized during the meeting that he wanted to end the war started by Russia.

Natasha: Akpabio must not be sacrificed – Afenifere

The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Monday advised that the unproven allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti against the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, should not be allowed to consume him.
While describing Akpabio as a committed patriot, Afenifere urged that the allegations be thoroughly examined.
The group, in a statement issued by its Organising Secretary, Kole Omololu, noted that the allegations were made following an act of discipline against Senator Natasha Akpoti.
According to the group, the allegations should be investigated by a Senate committee, stressing that Akpabio has fostered political stability and patriotic leadership in the National Assembly.
“He has been most instrumental in engendering one of the few eras in the history of democratic governance in Nigeria where we have enjoyed executive/legislative synergy.”
