 An appreciation of the armed forces: weeklong actions across multiple theatres By Bayo Onanuga Some Nigerians and armchair analysts are often quick to criticise the Federal Government for perceived shortcomings in security, highlighting isolated incidents such as kidnappings, improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, and attacks in parts of the country. Such perceptions, however, tend to downplay and discount the heroic exploits of members of the Nigerian armed forces, saddled with the responsibility of countering the evil machinations of God-forsaken non-state actors, who operate like guerrillas.  My position is reinforced by the security reports I receive daily from Zagazola Makama, a journalist who has emerged as a counter-insurgency expert in Nigeria.

 Lagos Assembly: Obasa Holds Reconciliatory Meeting with Meranda, Lawmakers, May Drop Lawsuit


The re-elected Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, is currently holding a closed-door reconciliatory meeting with 39 lawmakers, including Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda.


The meeting, which began at 2:10 PM at the Assembly Complex in Alausa, Ikeja, aims to ease tensions and unite aggrieved lawmakers while setting a new direction for the House.


Following this development, speculation about Obasa’s possible resignation appears to be unfounded.


Sources indicate that Obasa is likely to withdraw his lawsuit against the Assembly and 33 lawmakers at the Ikeja Court, which he had filed after his removal as Speaker.


On January 13, 2025, 33 out of 39 lawmakers voted to remove Obasa, replacing him with his deputy, Mojisola Meranda. However, following interventions from the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership at both state and national levels—including efforts led by Chief Bisi Akande and Aremo Segun Osoba—Obasa was re-elected as Speaker after Meranda stepped down.


The crisis had caused serious division within the Assembly and the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), prompting President Bola Tinubu to step in and facilitate a resolution.
