Obasa says he has resumed as Lagos Assembly Speaker


Impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has said he has resumed his position as the leader of the parliament.
Obasa said this much after returning to the Assembly with armed security operatives.
“I’ve resumed, and I remain the Speaker of the Assembly,” Obasa said.
Recall that on January 13, 2025, legislators of the Lagos State House of Assembly had impeached Obasa for alleged misappropriation.
Obasa was away in the United States of America, when he was removed as Speaker.
While abroad, his deputy, Mojisola Meranda was appointed Speaker and sworn in.
Upon his return, Obasa contested his removal, disclosing g his impeachment did not follow due process.
