In a shocking turn of events, Mudashiru Obasa, the ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, made a dramatic return to the House on Thursday, accompanied by security officials. This move came despite the intervention of a panel led by Chief Bisi Akande and Aremo Olusegun Osoba, which aimed to resolve the crisis surrounding Obasa’s removal as Speaker.
Obasa’s return has thrown the State’s legislature into turmoil, with tension escalating at the Assembly complex. The ousted Speaker, who was removed by 36 lawmakers on January 13, 2025, made his way into the Speaker’s Office around 9 am, sparking concerns about the legitimacy of his actions.
The intervention of the Akande and Osoba panel, which included a meeting with key stakeholders at the House, had aimed to find a resolution to the crisis. However, Obasa’s return suggests that the panel’s efforts have collapsed.
According to Obasa’s lawyer, the ousted Speaker is awaiting the court’s decision on his removal before resuming his duties at the Assembly. However, his return to the Assembly before the matter is resolved in court has raised eyebrows.
The implications of Obasa’s return are still unclear, but one thing is certain – the Lagos State House of Assembly is in for a tumultuous ride. As the situation unfolds, Nigerians will be watching closely to see how this political drama plays out.In a shocking turn of events, Mudashiru Obasa, the ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, made a dramatic return to the House on Thursday, accompanied by security officials .
