Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have dismissed embattled and impeached Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, as an impostor.
Stephen Ogundipe, Chairman of the House Committee on Information and Strategy, who spoke on the ongoing Legal Battle accused certain individuals of staging unnecessary drama.
Though he didn’t mention names, but it was clear that he was referring to Obasa.
According to Ogundipe, “Our Counsel was very clear in court. The person causing the drama was just an imposter, and I am sure the Court will follow due process.
“By the next hearing, the imposter’s true identity will be exposed,” Ogundipe stated.
He described the recent events as “a show of shame” and criticized contradictory statements made by those challenging the Assembly’s proceedings.
“Imagine, they are now openly claiming that there was no court procedure, yet we were in court today. The same person who initiated the case is now saying there’s no court process. You also saw the drama his Lawyers created in Court today.
“It’s unfortunate, but when we get to the bridge, we will cross it,” he added.
Ogundipe however reassured Lagosians that the Assembly remains committed to upholding the law and serving the people.
“We want to assure the public that we are law-abiding and are doing everything within our power to ensure that this situation does not escalate further,” he said.
Following the Court proceedings, Lawmakers proceeded to the Assembly complex to inspect the premises, but it had been occupied by Obasa, the Lawmaker stated.
Deputy Speaker, Hon. Fatai Mojeed, assured that everything was in order, adding that the House remained under the control of its legitimate members.
The Case has been adjourned till March 5, 2025.
