The Lagos State House of Assembly on Friday named four new principal officers following the impeachment of the former Speaker, Mr Mudashiru Obasa.
Obasa was impeached for alleged gross misconduct and abuse of office by the lawmakers on Monday.
The Clerk of the House, Mr. Lekan Onafeko, was also suspended for alleged gross financial impropriety.
The House equally dissolved all the standing committees inaugurated by the former speaker.
The Speaker, Mrs. Mojisola Meranda, announced the names of the principal officers at the plenary in Alausa, Ikeja.
She said the appointment of the new officers was necessitated by the change of the House leadership.
Meranda said: “The House has named Mr. Temitope Adewale (APC-Ifako-Ijaiye 1) as the new Majority Leader, while Mr. Adedamola Kasunmu (APC-Ikeja 1) is the new Deputy Majority Leader.
“This House has also named the Chief Whip, Mr Setonjo David (APC-Badagry 2), while the Deputy Chief Whip is now Mr Babatunde Saani (APC-Kosofe 2).”
