The Lagos State House of Assembly has impeached its Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, following allegations of fraud.
The decision was made during a plenary session on Monday, according to multiple sources. Although specific details surrounding his impeachment remain unclear, the lawmakers have unanimously appointed Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda as his replacement.
Efforts to reach Obasa’s Chief Press Secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele, for comments have been unsuccessful, as calls and text messages to his phone have gone unanswered at the time of filing this report.
This development marks a significant shift in the leadership of the Lagos State Assembly, with further details on the allegations and proceedings expected to emerge in the coming hours.
