Political watchers are in suspense concerning what can be tagged the Tinubu/Sanwo-Olu factor in the drama that played out in the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday, leading to the impeachment of Speaker Mudasiru Obasa.
He has also been replaced with his Deputy, Mojisola Meranda.
Although details of the reason are still sketchy, financial issues are being advanced.
Very importantly, however, it is not yet clear if the king of Lagos politics, President Bola Tinubu; and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu exerted any influence on the drama.
Obasa had been accused of insubordination in the way he relates with Sanwo-Olu, to the extent that the matter was said to have come during a high-power meeting with Tinubu days ao when he was in Lagos.
