Breaking News: Lagos Speaker, Obasa Impeached
He was said to have been impeached at this morning plenary by majority of law makers.
Though, details of reasons for his impeachment is not immediately known as the time of filing this report but unconfirmed report says the speaker was impeached in absentia.
He was said to be away in America when his colleagues converged this morning to remove him.
Obasa has since been replaced by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda representing Apapa Constituency 1.
Obasa has recently attracted controversy following his reported face-off with the state governor, Mr. Babajide Olushola Sanwo-olu which prompted the intervention of the Governor Advisory Council (GAC) the highest organ of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
The GAC led by Alhaji Tajudeen Olushi was said to have personally reported the embattled former speaker to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu when the latter met recently with GAC members during his holiday in Lagos
Sources at the meeting revealed that the president condemned the confrontational stand against the governor and thereafter scolded him for his singular act of enacting a bill that seeks to remove Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos.
Since that epic meeting with the president, the speaker's stock had nose-dived considerably as GAC members were said to have expressed their reservation about Obasa's emboldened attitude.
