Lagos House of Assembly Speaker Impeached in absentia
  • Mr Obasa was subsequently replaced by his deputy Lasbat Meranda.

On Monday, the Lagos State House of Assembly removed Speaker Mudashiru Obasa from his position.

The Assembly members alleged that Obasa had violated several laws and mismanaged funds.

Mr Obasa was subsequently replaced by his deputy Lasbat Meranda. Mrs Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1, was also a former chief whip of the House.

The removal came days after The Gazette reported how Mr Obasa oversaw the withdrawal of N43.5 billion for back up vehicles for lawmakers, as well as other controversial activities.

It was understands that Mr Obasa was in Atlanta when he was impeached.

Mr Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015, resuming office alongside former one-term governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Repeated charges of fraud and political thuggery have marked his speakership.

In 2020, The Gazette published a series of investigations detailing how Mr Obasa diverted Lagos funds to his personal firms and bank accounts.

Sahara Reporters at the time also uncovered Mr Obasa’s assets across Lagos.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited Mr. Obasa for questioning due to the overwhelming media coverage of his alleged financial misconduct.

After denying all accusations during a meeting with detectives, no formal charges were brought against him.

Details shortly…
