BREAKING: Lagos State Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa Impeached
On Monday, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, citing multiple statutory and financial violations.
It was gathered that Lasbat Meranda, the former Deputy Speaker and representative of Apapa Constituency 1, replaced Obasa as the new Speaker.
The Speaker had been under intense pressure in the last few weeks detailing Obasa’s alleged involvement in the withdrawal of N43.5 billion for backup vehicles for lawmakers and other questionable activities.
The decision to impeach Obasa signals a significant shift within the Lagos State House of Assembly, as lawmakers respond to allegations of corruption and financial impropriety.
The appointment of Lasbat Meranda, a seasoned legislator and former Chief Whip, suggests an effort to restore trust in the institution and ensure greater transparency in its operations.
