ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – The Speaker of the Lagos State Assembly Mojisola Meranda has finally gained access to the chambers of the House following hours of heavy security presence in and around the roads leading to the complex.
Monday’s incident comes amid the leadership tussle rocking the House of Assembly following the removal of Mudashiru Obasa as the speaker.
Precise Post recalls that Obasa was removed as Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker on 13th January while he was in the United States following allegations of misappropriation of funds, high-handedness and lack of transparency in the management of the Assembly’s affairs.
The impeachment sparked jubilation among lawmakers.
Obasa, in his third term as Speaker since 2015, represents Agege Constituency I.
Femi Saheed, who represents Kosofe Constituency II, moved the motion for the impeachment.
Citing Section 92(2) (C) of the 1999 Constitution, Saheed accused Obasa of gross misconduct and poor leadership
