Some lawmakers of the Lagos State House Assembly who were on suspension have been recalled.
The Lagos State House of Assembly has reinstated the lawmakers who were earlier suspended indefinitely on March 9, the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, disclosed yesterday.
Obasa announced their reinstatement during plenary on Thursday.
The affected lawmakers are Mr Olumuyiwa Jimoh, who was the former Deputy Majority Leader; Mr Rotimi Abiru, the Chief Whip; Mr Moshood Oshun and Mr Raheem Adewale.
It would be recalled that the lawmakers were sacked on March 9 for alleged misconduct, insubordination, and action that could destabilise the House.
However, while announcing their reinstatement, the speaker said the crisis between him and the aggrieved lawmakers have been resolved by the All Progressives Congress.
According to him, “The Governor’s Advisory Council and the National leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, have intervened in the crisis and directed that the House should reinstate the suspended lawmakers.”
