Anarchy Looms As Former Lagos Speaker,Obasa Returns on Saturday, Plans Massive Meeting With Supporters At Speaker's Lodge

 


There is palpable fear of anarchy in Lagos as information receieved indicated  that the ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa will return to Lagos today, Saturday, 25 January, 2025, for the first time after his removal and that he has invited his supporters, especially  from his constituency  in Agege to gather at the Speaker's lodge on Joel Ogunnaike street in GRA,Ikeja  for a welcome meeting,when days ago, his personal belongings at the place had been moved  by his family and Aides 


Obasa has been in Abuja since Saturday, 18 January, 2025, trying to get the attention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to hear his own side of the story in the circumstances leading to his removal,but unfortunately,  he was unsuccessful  in his attempt to meet  the president, as the President having heard the two sides of the story, finally accepted the impeachment of the ousted Speaker.


Thirty two  lawmakers however signed the Impeachment notice, which represents  utmost majority and they all participated in the Impeachment process which took place on Monday, 13 January, 2025.



At the time of the impeachment, Obasa was in the United States of America. He made efforts to see the President in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during his last visit but was not able to see the President.


This prompted his decision to return to Abuja in his bid to see the President.



After the final verdict by the President, Obasa is set to return to Lagos.



His supporters are being mobilised to welcome him back to the state.


A statement by one Segun Balogun JP, Chairman of Ward F in Agege Local Government indicated that all ward, zonal and LG executives and stakeholders have been instructed to meet at ‘Ikeja GRA of Hon Mudashiru Obasa’.


What is curious about the meeting is venue. Ikeja GRA residence apparently is the Speaker’s lodge, the official residence of the number three citizen of the state which seized to be the residence of Obasa since he was impeached on Monday, 13 January, 2025.



Below is the full text of the statement by Segun Balogun.

There are clear indications that the new leadership of the Assembly  and the majority that participated  in his ouster will not be idle and allow a former speaker ,whom they described as 'authoritarian'  to want to clinch to power by all means,using his constituents 



Information has it that,even politicians who are unhappy with his reign of terror are already mobilizing themselves  to counter the move by  inviting media organizations  to join the movement and expose him the more to the public 


A member of the Assembly, who will not want to be mentioned as he is not a principal officer disclosed that all legal means will be used to prevent what he described  as "show of shame" by Obasa and his gang


In his words " is he the first Speaker to be impeached? "


Efforts to get the reaction of the Speaker ,Rt Hon  Mojisola Lasbat Meranda to comment on the subject  proved abortive as her number was engaged all through and unfortunately,  the new leadership is yet to constitute standing committees
