Lagos Lawmakers kick out Obasa as Speaker! Impeached Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa
The Lagos State House of Assembly has  impeached its Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa.
The House impeached Obasa at an Emergency Plenary  in Ikeja on Monday.
The  Deputy Speaker, Mojisola Meranda(APC-Apapa 1) was  subsequently elected and  sworn in by the Lawmakers as new Speaker.
The Clerk of the House, Olalekan Onafeko was also suspended indefinitely, while the Chief Whip of the House, Mojeed Fatai, was elected the new Deputy Speaker.
Security Officials have taken over the Premises of the Assembly to forestall any breakdown of Law and Order.
Details surrounding Obasa’s impeachment had yet to emerge as at the time of publishing this report as Official Statements were yet to be issued by the Assembly or its Leadership.
However, Insiders suggest  allegations of Financial Impropriety may have played a significant role in his removal.
Obasa (APC-Agege I), a Sixth Term Lawmaker, had held the Speakership Position for years, and had been enmeshed in  controversies in the past over alleged mismanagement of Assembly Funds.
Obasa’s impeachment has opened a new chapter in the Annals of the House.
