“You Can Only Remove The speaker. You Can’t Impeach The Speaker”. Deviant Mudashiru Obasa Challenges His Removal (video)

You can’t impeach me as the speaker of the Lagos state House of Assembly. You can only remove me and in removing me the right process must be followed.

My status in the house, I believe strongly I am still the speaker until the right thing has been done. If you want to remove me, remove me the proper way and I will not contest it.

I’m a Muslim and I believe in fate. But let’s do it the way it should be done.

You will soon know if a legal battle is in the offing.. It’s a matter of time. Thank you and God bless you.”

Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has insisted that he remains the rightful speaker of the assembly based on constitutional provisions.

Obasa made this declaration on Saturday in Ikeja GRA during a welcome event organized in his honor by supporters from Agege, Alimosho, and Kosofe local government areas. Obasa was removed from office by his colleagues in the House over allegations of gross misconduct and financial mismanagement.

Addressing his removal, Obasa argued that the process did not follow constitutional procedures.

He, however, stated that he would accept his removal if it is carried out in accordance with constitutional guidelines.
