Obasa Returns As Speaker Lagos House of Assembly

Mudashiru Obasa has been returned as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

He was returned as the speaker during Monday’s plenary session.

Obasa was reinstated following the resignation of Mojisola Meranda, who stepped down from her position.

It would be recalled that in January
the lawmakers impeached Obasa over multiple allegations, including poor leadership style, high-handedness, frequent lateness to plenary sessions, abuse of office, and intimidation of colleagues.

The impeachment was supported by over 90 per cent of the lawmakers.

Reacting to his impeachment, Obasa rejected the process, insisting that the lawmakers did not follow the constitutional procedure to remove him as speaker.

He also denied the allegations of corruption brought against him by the lawmakers during his removal, describing the alleged financial misappropriations as “impossible.”
