Just days after taking office, the newly inaugurated Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Lasbat Mojisola has made a significant and far-reaching pronouncement regarding the leadership structure of the Assembly.
In a move she described as both dramatic as well as aimed at revitalizing the legislative framework, Mojisola revealed the appointments of new principal officers.
The announcement came after the dissolution of the previous committee.
The new appointments are: Hon. Temitope Adedeji, representing Ifako Ijaye 1 Constituency who has emerged as the Majority Leader; Hon. Richard Kasumu, representing Ikeja 2 Constituency, who will now serve as Deputy Majority Leader.
Also, Hon. David Setonji, representing Badagry 2 Constituency, has been elected as the Chief Whip, and Hon. Semiu Okanlawon, representing Kosofe Constituency 1, will serve as Deputy Chief Whip.
