Lagos assembly insists Obasa’s removal is legal, confirms release of detained lawmakers

of the Lagos state house of assembly have reaffirmed that Mudashiru Obasa’s removal as speaker is lawful and in accordance with constitutional provisions.

Obasa was impeached on January 13 while he was out of the country. The house of assembly accused him of gross misconduct and abuse of office.

Mojisola Meranda, Obasa’s deputy, was elected as the new speaker of the assembly.

But Obasa has accused the assembly of illegally removing him, insisting that he is “still the speaker until the right thing has been done”.

The lawmakers referenced sections 92 and 96 of the 1999 Constitution to justify that the impeachment of the former Lagos speaker followed due process.

In a statement issued after they visited the Lagos command of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Shangisha on Thursday, the lawmakers said their action was in the best interest of the people of the state.

The lawmakers were at the DSS office over the detention of two of their colleagues who were invited on Wednesday for questioning relating to issues of the state assembly.

TheCable understands that the two lawmakers are Lanre Afinni and Sylvester Ogunkelu.

“The Lagos State House of Assembly, as an independent arm of government, exercised its constitutional duty in the best interest of the people of Lagos,” the statement reads.

“Any attempt to challenge this lawful action undermines the authority granted to us by the Nigerian Constitution.”

They also commended the DSS for its professionalism and for ensuring a smooth and respectful engagement.

They noted that all detained lawmakers have been released.

The lawmakers reiterated their commitment to legislative duties and called on all stakeholders, including the executive and the public, to respect the sanctity of legislative processes and avoid undue interference.

Let's compair documents to documents. Simpu! Lol 😆

Make them suspend am now.

Labor party won both Lagos and Rivers but satanic men changed the votes for the evil APC party against the will of the people.

Wike has hypertension in Rivers, SanwoOlu has sleepless nights in Lagos. You destroyed and subverted the will of the people. You all will not see rest. 2027 is on the horizon.

Tinubu choice is the constitution of lagos

obasa should learn how to says less than necessary next Time, it was too early for him to mention his governorship ambition, Persons who cannot control their words shows that they cannot control themself, and is unworthy of respect. But the human tongue is a beast that few can master. It strains constantly to break out of its cage, and if it is not tamed, it will run wild and cause you grief. Power cannot accrue to those who squander their treasure of words.

Power is in many ways a game of appearances, and when you say less than necessary, you inevitably appear greater and more powerful than you are.

Learn the lesson: Once the words are out, you cannot take them back. Keep them under control. Be particularly careful with sarcasm: The momentary satisfaction you gain with your biting words will be outweighed by the price you pay.

God punish una...make una kill unaself

Na dem dem.

Does Obi deep sleep in his Party?

Hope labour party will win this year gubernatorial election in his home state? Pls don't open your eyes and let them shortchange you again ooo

Hmmm!

After stealing people's mandate they are now fighting and arresting themselves.

One day, Shettima will give Tinubu a very close Upper Cut and case will finish because he will never survive it.

Criminals posing as politicians.


😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ok

Obasa should rest. His removal is a done deal.
His interest conflicted with that of the "big wigs" and his arrogancy became his greatest undoing.
He should have learnt the hard lessons from Ambode's failure, but now he is retaking the lessons he failed to learn in a hard way.
