President Tinubu meets Lagos Lawmakers, liken Obasa's impeachment to a coup

 

By Tayo Aderinola

President Bola Tinubu is reported to have given his tacit approval for the removal of Hon. Mudasiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, following his impeachment by 32 out of the 40-member Assembly last week.

The lawmakers cited alleged infractions, including corruption and highhandedness, as reasons for Obasa’s removal.

In a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Wednesday evening, President Tinubu convened with the Assembly’s new leadership, including the newly elected Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, and members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC).

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, and the ousted Speaker Obasa were notably absent from the meeting, although Obasa was reportedly in Abuja.

Sources indicated that President Tinubu expressed discontent with the manner in which the lawmakers conducted the impeachment, drawing a parallel to a coup.

However, following entreaties from GAC leaders and acknowledgement of Obasa’s alleged transgressions, Tinubu begrudgingly endorsed the Assembly’s Lagosians

Speaker Meranda, on her part, pledged to prioritize transparency, inclusion, and good governance in her leadership, ensuring the effective delivery of democratic dividends to Lagosians.
