‘’I wanted To Become Ondo Governor For My Mother’’ – APC Aspirant, Funmi Ayinke—-TCN reports that the only female aspirant under APC in the build-up to Ondo governorship election, Engr. (DR) Oluwafunmilayo Ayinke Waheed-Adekojo has revealed that the inspiration behind her ambition was her mother.

In an instagram post where she unveiled her new look and spoke about her gubernatorial ambition for the first time since she lost the primary, Funmi Ayinke made it known that she didn’t want to become governor because of money but to make her mother proud.

She explained that she became an engineer because of her mother and she wanted to do more for her, hence, the decision to run for the position of a governor but immediately her mother died, she lost every energy.

‘’I miss my mother, I lost her during the gubernatorial election politicking, I went all out to run for governorship because I know I have the ability and in the course, I lost my mother and I have not recovered from it. When I became an engineer, it was for my mother. I wanted to do more for my mother because she was the only one for us, if there is anything I can rewind or revive, it’s to make my mother come alive again but who are we to question God.’’

Funmi Ayinke noted that if her mother was alive, she would one day run for presidency to make her proud but since she left, she has begun to take life as vanity.

‘’After the death of my mother, we know what happened to the election, the incumbent governor won again. My energy and drive to become governor left, I am not actually looking for money, I wanted to create a name for my mother, I wanted to do more for her, I wanted her to be ‘Iya governor’ but the enemy didn’t agree. I believe she is now my angel and won’t allow anything to happen to me. I miss my mother.’’

‘’The same people I helped became my enemy, I am no longer wasting my money on Nigerians that are not grateful, I wish my mother was here so I can run for presidency tomorrow because of her. I am more like let me just wake up every morning and have a good life. I sponsored myself to run the gubernatorial race but now, I am taking life like vanity.’’

Meranda Speaks On Resigning As Lagos Assembly Speaker

Mojisola Meranda Speaks On Resigning As Lagos Assembly Speaker Amid Crisis—-Mojisola Meranda a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, has refuted claims of her resignation, dismissing the rumors amid the ongoing leadership crisis in the Assembly.

Speculation surged on Monday following a forceful invasion of the Assembly complex by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police.

According to reports, security forces stormed the premises in the early hours, sealing the offices of Speaker Meranda, her deputy, and the clerk.

Speaking to Punch, the Speaker’s Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, denounced the reports of her resignation as “a lie from the pit of hell.” He reaffirmed that Meranda remains committed to her role despite mounting pressure.

The crisis, which began with the removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, intensified when security personnel occupied the Assembly on Monday, further escalating tensions among lawmakers and staff.

Reacting to the situation, Ajiboye stated, “It is a lie from the pit of hell. If she had resigned, would she come back to sit at the plenary today?”

Meanwhile, a member of the Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), Muraina Taiwo, acknowledged that the crisis had spiraled beyond the council’s ability to manage, calling for President Bola Tinubu’s intervention.

Mudashiru Obasa Sues New Speaker Meranda

BREAKING: Mudashiru Obasa Sues New Speaker Meranda And Lagos Assembly To Court—-Impeached speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, seeking an immediate order for his reinstatement as Speaker.

Court documents obtained by Lagos Reporters reveal that Obasa is challenging his removal on January 13, 2025, arguing that it was wrongful and unconstitutional. The lawsuit, filed on February 14, 2025, lists the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.

The legal move comes after failed attempts to resolve the leadership dispute through political negotiations. Sources confirm that multiple high-level meetings, involving political figures from Lagos and Abuja, were held to mediate the crisis but ended in deadlock.

Some lawmakers reportedly fear that Obasa’s possible reinstatement could trigger political reprisals against those who backed his ouster.

With the case now in court, the battle for Lagos Assembly leadership shifts to the judiciary, as stakeholders await the ruling and its implications for the state’s legislative stability.
