Lagos Assembly Replies Obasa, Says We Followed Due Process
The Lagos House of Assembly has said it followed due process in impeaching the former speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.
This was made known in a statement by Hon. Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode on behalf of the House on Saturday.
Read the statement in full below;
It is imperative to clarify that over 2/3 of the members of the Lagos State House of Assembly are solidly united behind the new Speaker, Rt Hon Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, therefore we stand by the decision taken on the 13th of January where Rt Hon Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa was impeached and we shall defend our positions to the latter. As elected representatives of the people of Lagos, we owe them good governance and harmonious relationships with other arms of government.
The position of the House remains the same and nothing has changed. The position being canvassed by former Speaker, Rt Hon Obasa is uncalled for and unparliamentary.

The majority of members elected Rt. Hon Mudashiru Obasa as the Speaker for the 10th Assembly and we also at the said Plenary took the majority decision to remove him and stand by the new Speaker so, nothing has changed.
All members were elected from their various constituencies across the state and we all have the inalienable rights under the necessary Statutory orders to remove their Principal officers, including the Speaker.
I, therefore, appeal to the former Speaker to toe the line of peace and harmony as being followed by others, as the current intransigent posture will heat up the polity and not augur well. Any attempt to heat up the polity will be resisted by the majority of distinguished members who unanimously elected Rt Hon Meranda.
Peace we want in Lagos and Peace we will achieve.
E-signed
Hon Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode
For the: Lagos State House of Assembly
