House Of Assembly Members Rally Round Speaker Mudashiru Obasa To Blanket Out 1st Attempt At Dousing His Leadership In Crisis

…Initiator faces heavy sanction

Members of the Lagos state House of Assembly just made an urgent rally round to bail Speaker, Mudashiru Obasi out of a potential crisis.

And not only this equally created the stage for the initiator to face strong sanction.

Fhunmi Tejuosho, a perceived strong member of the State House of Assembly openly rejected a committee the chair of a committee allocated to her.

Information alleged issue of buoyancy of the committee (Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Petitions and Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, LASIEC) as having a thing or two to do with the rejection.

Tejuosho, a returnee state lawmaker is described as one of the favoured members of past tenure.

She was said to have chaired a committee on Finance in her last time out.

Her open rejection she would have sparked off a gale of such antics by others who feel short changed and possibly light up the assembly in crisis was however quickly nipped in the bud.

Members very concerned about the likely outcome and effect on leadership structure quickly rallied round the Speaker- and stood by him.

‘The rejection happened in the last session of the house and between then and the latest sitting, a lot of underground work to curtail any form crisis in the house’ a source disclosed.

Information revealed the result was a table turned situation on Tejuosho at the latest sitting – Monday November 16 2015.

‘She was given soo much heat that she tendered an apology for her conduct in the midst of intense calls for her to be sanction’ a source disclosed.

Societynowng.com learnt that Tejuosho’s stance of merely apologising for the manner and not rejection didnot help her case.

Insiders revealed moves are afloat to ensure she didn’t go unsanction.

Further digs revealed that at play is the issue of relevance.

Tejuosho is believed to be seeking special recognition as one of the longest serving members in the house, while the Speaker is keen on ensuring he is in firm control.

And obviously, he retains the confidence of majority of the members who are particular in protecting the sanctity of his position.

‘But for a how long?, because with her move Tejuosho as served notice as a possible rallying point for the speakers political opponents and taken into consideration the intrigues at play and that in politics splits second can cause great tumble it obvious a cat and mouse game is on between the two’ another source pointed out.
