Mudashiru Obasa, embattled and impeached former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly has filed a Lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court against Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda and other members of the Assembly, demanding for his immediate reinstatement as the Speaker of LAHA.
Obasa prayed that the Court should order the removal of the current Speaker and restore him as Speaker.
In the suit filed by Obasa, he argued that the January 13 plenary session where he was impeached was not properly convened, making the proceedings unconstitutional.
The court filing cites constitutional provisions and Assembly standing orders to argue that the impeachment was conducted outside legal procedures.
Obasa contends that lawmakers met during a recess without formally reconvening, rendering the decision invalid.
It would be recalled that Obasa was unceremoniously impeached by the Lawmakers on January 13th, 2025, for gross misconduct and abuse of office.
He was out of the country when he was impeached. But on returning from United States of America, he queried his Impeachment, vowing to seek justice and reinstated.
The suit is yet to be assigned to a judge and no date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.
