Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has taken legal action to challenge his impeachment, demanding his immediate reinstatement. Obasa, who was removed from office on January 13, 2025, filed a lawsuit at the Lagos High Court, arguing that the impeachment process was unconstitutional.
The suit, which names the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants, claims that the plenary session where he was impeached was improperly convened, violating constitutional provisions and standing orders. Obasa contends that the lawmakers met during a recess without formally reconvening, thereby rendering his removal unlawful.
He is seeking a court order to nullify the impeachment and reinstate him as Speaker. The case is yet to be assigned to a judge, and no hearing date has been scheduled.
