The cold political war between the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and Hon. Funmi Tejuosho has taken a new dimension. The Former Deputy Speaker of the House and one of the most senior members, Hon. Funmi Tejuosho right on the floor of the House protested and rejected the chairmanship of the House Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Relations and LASIEC which the Speaker appointed her to head.

Those who witnessed the show on the floor of the House of Assembly told us that immediately the Speaker finished announcing the committee and their heads, Hon. Funmi Tejuosho spoke through the microphone rejecting the position. But the Speaker ignored her and adjourned the House.

For those who don’t know, the female lawmaker has been locked in a bitter war with the Speaker for sometimes now. Insiders said the female lawmaker wanted to be speaker having been the deputy speaker in the last dispensation. But her colleagues opted for Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and since then there has been a bitter political war between them.

It is interesting to know that Hon. Funmi Tejuosho is a Lawyer and married to Prince Kayode Tejuosho, an Egba Prince from Abeokuta. She has been a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly since 2003.
