Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, Impeached Over Allegations of Misconduct

In a dramatic development, Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has been impeached following allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office. The decision was reportedly reached during a plenary session where members of the Assembly deliberated on the accusations leveled against him.

The impeachment comes amid growing concerns over accountability and transparency in public office. Sources within the Assembly revealed that the allegations against Obasa include financial impropriety and misuse of power, which prompted lawmakers to take decisive action.

Obasa, who had served as Speaker for several years, has yet to issue an official statement regarding his removal. However, the development has generated significant reactions across Lagos State, with some hailing the impeachment as a step toward ensuring good governance, while others are questioning the political dynamics behind the move.

The Assembly has since moved swiftly to reorganize its leadership, with Mojisola Meranda, the former Deputy Speaker, stepping in as the first female Speaker in the history of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
