The Lagos State House of Assembly has named four new principal officers following the impeachment of the former Speaker, Mr Mudashiru Obasa on Monday.
The Speaker, Mrs Mojisola Meranda, APC-Apapa 1, made this known on Friday while presiding over plenary as the new speaker.
Mr Mudashiru Obasa was impeached on Monday over gross misconduct by 32 out of the 40 members.
The Clerk of the House, Mr Lekan Onafeko, was also suspended over gross financial impropriety.
The House also dissolved all the standing committees inaugurated by the former speaker.
According to Meranda, the announcement of new officers is as a result of the change of the leadership of the House.
“The House has named Mr Temitope Adewale, APC-Ifako-Ijaiye 1, as the new Majority Leader, while Mr Adedamola Kasunmu, APC- Ikeja 1, as the new Deputy Majority Leader.
