Mr Ogundipe, in a statement, said that Mrs Meranda remains in office with the support of 36 colleagues.
However, Mr Abubakar said what happened at the Lagos parliament “is nothing short of an assault on democracy and a throwback to the dark days of military dictatorship.”
It was unclear how the politician arrived at the claim. No fresh leadership election was held to reinstate Mr Obasa as Speaker.
Ms Meranda assured her colleagues that her leadership would work with them to make the state better.
Mr Idimogu described Mrs Meranda’s appointment as a round peg in a round hole.
The property in Gwinnett County was acquired on May 23, 2019, during Mr Obasa’s first term as Speaker. It is now valued at $654,602.
Mr Obasa, the most senior ranking member of the parliament, was nominated by Temitope Adewale and seconded by Sylvester Ogunkelu.
One of the lawmakers said that the support for Mr Obasa was because the leadership of the 9th Assembly ensured a cordial relationship among members.
