I was never removed as Speaker, I am back to take charge – Obasa

Admin February 27, 2025

Feb. 27, 2025

The impeached  Speaker of the  Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, says he was never removed as  speaker  and that he is  back to  the assembly to take charge.
Obasa spoke with reporters  shortly after storming the assembly complex with some security personnel  on Thursday.
The visit was Obasa’s  first appearance at the complex after he was impeached by his colleagues in January over alleged misconduct and financial impropriety.
The impeached speaker returned on a day the security details of Mrs Mojisola Meranda, who was elected by lawmakers immediately after Obasa’s removal, were withdrawn.
Victor Ganzalo,Meranda’s media aide, who confirmed the withdrawal of his  principal’s security aides in a statement,also said all personnel providing security at the assembly complex had been withdrawn.
Obasa told assembly correspondents that his security details had been restored and that he was back to his position as speaker.
He said:: “I have resumed and I still remain the speaker of the Assembly. I was never removed.
“Impeachment or removal is democratic and constitutional,but in doing that, you must follow the due process.
“I am not against my removal. I am a democrat, but If the process had been fair, then I would not  have gone against it.”
When asked why he was returning to the assembly when he had filed a suit challenging his removal in court, Obasa said there was no such suit in court.
Obasa said he was  back at the assembly not to take revenge or victimise any lawmaker.
He described Lagos  lawmakers as great colleagues, committed to the progress of the state. (NAN)
