Although details of the meeting were not immediately disclosed, it is believed to be connected to the recent leadership crisis in the Lagos Assembly.

Obasa was impeached as Speaker by a majority of lawmakers but was later reinstated following intervention from political leaders, including the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC).

Despite his reinstatement, tensions reportedly remain high among lawmakers, with divisions lingering over the impeachment episode.
