‘I’m back to office as Lagos Assembly Speaker’- Obasa declares
The lawmaker representing Agege Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, says he has resumed as the speaker of the 40-member legislative assembly.
“Obasa is the speaker,” he told reporters on Thursday afternoon on the premises of the House.
“I’ve resumed and I remain the Speaker of the Assembly,” Obasa said after storming the Assembly complex on Thursday morning with Police and State Security Service operatives as escorts.
Obasa was impeached on January 13 by an overwhelming majority of Lagos State lawmakers and was replaced with Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, who became the first female Speaker of the Lagos Assembly.
