Abiodun Tobun, representing Epe Constituency 1, has given the detailed reasons Mudashiru Obasa was impeached today as the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly.

Obasa was impeached following a motion moved under the Matter of Urgent Public Importance by Femi Saheed.

Saheed, in line with provision of section 92(2) (C) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, accused Obasa of gross misconduct and poor leadership, which included perpetual lateness to legislative sections and meetings; highhandedness and lack of regard of members; gross abuse of office and privileges; intimidation and oppression of members by inciting them against one another amongst others.

He mentioned that Obasa also practices an authoritarian and undemocratic leadership style in discharging his duties.

He, therefore, moved the motion for the impeachment.

Following the adoption of the motion, the impeachment was made by the 32 members through a voice vote.

Subsequently, Meranda emerged as the new speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, while Fatai Mojeed emerged as the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly. Hence, the impeachment was a unanimous decision by the lawmakers.

The lawmakers agreed to take this step to safeguard our image and Lagos State. Change is inevitable, and we felt it was time for a new direction.

“All standing committees and principal officer positions have been dissolved. We are determined to work together to elevate the Assembly and deliver on our responsibilities to Lagosians.”

He explained that the Constitution empowers the Assembly to regulate its proceedings, and members reached a consensus to end Obasa’s tenure.

The lawmakers assured the public of their commitment to the progress and stability of Lagos State under the new leadership.
