OBASA IMPEACHMENT: NOTHING HAS CHANGED

…Lagos Assembly United Behind Meranda

It is imperative to clarify that majority of the members of the Lagos State House of Assembly are solidly united behind the new Speaker, Rt Hon Mojisola Lasbat Meranda thereby stood by the decision taken on the 13th of January where Rt Hon Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa was removed and we shall defend our positions to the latter. As elected representative of the people of Lagos, we owe them good governance and harmonious relationship with other arms of government.

In the E-signed press release by Hon Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode reads that the position of the House remains the same and nothing has changed and if there’s any new developments about the happenings in the assembly, it will definitely be made known to the public. The position being canvassed by former speaker, Rt Hon Obasa is uncalled for and unparliamentary.

The majority of members elected Rt. Hon Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker for the 10th Assembly and we also have the majority taken decision to remove him and standing by the new speaker so, nothing has changed.

All members were elected from various constituencies across the state and all have the inalienable rights under the necessary orders to remove their Presiding officers, including the Speaker.

I therefore , appeal to the former Speaker to toe the line of peace and harmony as being followed by others, as the current intransigent posture will heat up the polity and not augur well. Any attempt to heat up the polity will be resisted by the majority who unanimously elected Rt Hon Meranda. Peace we want in Lagos and Peace we will achieve.
