Lawmakers of the Lagos State House of Assembly today Monday impeached Speaker Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, over accusations of multiple statutory and financial violations and corruption.
Obasa was immediately replaced by his deputy Lasbat Meranda.
Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015.
Mrs. Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1, was also a former Chief Whip of the House.
The House is battling Obasa over the purported withdrawal of N43.5 billion for back-up vehicles for lawmakers, amidst other Allegations.
However, some have speculated he met his Waterloo over his ambition to vie for the governorship of the state, a dream allegedly clashing with that of the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Seyi.
