Obasa resumes as Lagos Speaker

Impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa on Thursday declared that he has resumed his position as the parliament leader.

Obasa disclosed this after returning to the Assembly with armed security operatives.

“I’ve resumed, and I remain the Speaker of the Assembly,” Obasa said.

On January 13, 2025, lawmakers of the Lagos State House of Assembly had impeached Obasa for alleged misappropriation.

Obasa was away in the United States when he was removed as Speaker.

While away, his deputy, Mojisola Meranda was appointed Speaker and sworn in.

Upon his return, Obasa contested his removal, saying his impeachment did not follow due process.
