The Lagos State House of Assembly is facing a tense situation as Mudashiru Obasa, the recently impeached Speaker, refuses to vacate the official Speaker’s residence and office. This has sparked debates and drawn attention across the state.

Obasa, who was impeached while he was in the United States, has labeled the process unconstitutional. However, the Assembly insists the impeachment was legitimate, backed by 32 of the 40 lawmakers.

Days after his removal, Mojisola Meranda was appointed as the new Speaker. While Obasa’s aides have moved out of the official residence, sources reveal that Obasa himself remains in the quarters.

This standoff has highlighted growing tensions within the Assembly. Some observers believe the prolonged occupation of the office and residence could signal deeper conflicts among lawmakers. Others are hopeful that the Assembly’s leadership will find a peaceful resolution soon.

This power shift has become a defining moment in Lagos politics, with many watching closely to see how the drama will unfold in the coming weeks.
