OUSTED LAGOS SPEAKER OBASA SUES FOR REINSTATEMENT
Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a lawsuit at the Lagos High Court, seeking his immediate reinstatement following his impeachment on January 13, 2025. Obasa is challenging the legality of his removal, arguing that due process was not followed.
In the suit, filed on Monday, Obasa is requesting an order nullifying his impeachment and restoring him as Speaker. The lawsuit lists the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.
Obasa contends that the plenary session during which he was impeached was improperly convened, violating constitutional provisions and the Assembly’s standing orders. According to his court filings, the lawmakers met during a recess without formally reconvening, rendering the impeachment proceedings unconstitutional.
The case is yet to be assigned to a judge, and no hearing date has been scheduled.
