The impeachment of former Lagos Speaker, Rt Hon Mudasiru Obasa has taken another dimension as he filed a lawsuit before the Lagos State High Court demanding for his reinstatement
Obasa who was removed from office as a speaker on January 13, 2025, is challenging the legality of his impeachment in court
The suit, filed yesterday named the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.
Insight Media reported that the former speaker argues in the suit 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.
The suit is yet to be assigned to a judge and no date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit
