This followed the resignation on Monday of Hon. Mojisola Meranda, who held the office for 49 days.

She stepped down after a meeting with the embattled former Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa; the state Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, and the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Lawal Pedro.

Hon. Noheem Adams of Eti Osa Constituency 1 nominated Obasa.

His nomination was seconded by Hon. Nureni Akinsaya of Mushin constituency.

The crisis began after 32 lawmakers removed Obasa and ex-Clerk Olalekan Onafeko in January.

Meranda was nominated and sworn-in as the deputy speaker of the house.
