The impeached speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Mudashiru Obasa, has declared that he remained the speaker of the House despite his removal by the lawmakers.

Obasa was removed on January 13, 2025, by 32 out of the 40 lawmakers of the House. He was away in the United States of America when he was removed.

Upon his return from vacation to Lagos for the first time after his removal, the lawmaker representing Agege Constituency 1 was welcomed by members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) including LG ward Executives, members and stakeholders in the Lagos politics.

Addressing journalists during the reception, the ousted Speaker said his removal was unconstitutional and remain so until the process was followed constitutionally.

He declared that he is not afraid to be removed and that due process must be followed.

He said, “In the whole of Lagos State, let any leader come out that I approached him or her that I wanted to be a governor. To impeach a speaker, the Constitution must be followed. I’m not bothered but with that man who alleged that I took part in the removal of former Speaker Jokotade Pelumi, Deputy Speaker, Funmi Tejuosho and suspended lawmakers, due process was followed.

“Pelumi was on the floor when he was removed. Likewise, Tejuosho and those that were suspended were in the House and there was no involvement of the police.

“But in my case, how can a multitude of Police officers led by the commissioner of police invade the House and another team evade my residence, lock up my children outside the gate of the residence while my wife was inside.

“I was Speaker for 10 years, if I’m no longer wanted, from Allah we come and to him, we shall return but you cannot impeach a speaker with a fake mace.”
