Mudashiru Obasa, the former speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has taken his fight for reinstatement to court.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
In a lawsuit filed in Ikeja at the Lagos State High Court, the lawmaker from Lagos is requesting an immediate return to his position as head of the state’s House of Assembly. Obasa was wrongfully ousted as Lagos Speaker, according to the lawsuit, which was filed on February 14, 2025. He is now a defendant along with the Assembly and the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda.
This follows weeks of unsuccessful attempts to use political gatherings to address the issue. The meetings, which were held between Lagos and Abuja, included politicians who back President Bola Tinubu. Even after the President purportedly urged MPs to reinstall Obasa, the problem has continued. On January 13, 2025, Obasa was fired as Speaker due to allegations of financial and statutory wrongdoing, which included the controversial removal of ₦43.5 billion for member backup vehicles and other questionable expenses.
