In spite of his impeachment by the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, is still insisting that he is the rightful speaker.
Obasa’s impeachment came after allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office, with 90% of lawmakers voting to remove him – 32 of the 40-member legislature.
However, Obasa has denied any wrongdoing and insists that he remains the rightful Speaker of the House.
Addressing large supporters on Saturday at the Speaker’s Lodge, 47, Ikeja GRA, Obasa said that it was important for the lawmakers to “follow constitutional procedure” to remove him as speaker.
The former speaker also dismissed the allegations of corruption brought against him by the lawmakers to justify his removal, describing the alleged financial misappropriations as “impossible.”
Obasa told his supporters: “I am not afraid of being removed as the speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly but the right process was not followed.
“I believe I am still the speaker until they follow the right process.”
