Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, Fouad Oki, has urged the impeached speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly Mudashiru Obasa to go back to the house and continue his basic responsibility to his constituency.
Last Monday that Obasa was impeached but the lawmaker
claims he is still the speaker of the Lagos Assembly.
Obasa claimed he was impeached using a fake
mace.
Mojisola Meranda, who emerged Speaker of
the Assembly following the impeachment of Obasa, formally occupied the office of the
Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday.
Appearing on Channels Television’s Politics on Monday, Fouad advised the Agege lawmaker to
forget about returning to the speakership position.
He said either the lawmaker resigns or focus on his duties in the House
just like other lawmakers.
“Matters of the Lagos Assembly are past events… what has played out in
Lagos is very clear: there is party organisation and there’s party with
convention. You know conventions are unwritten rules or unwritten laws,” he
said.
“Now we have different layers of control, of check and balances in Lagos
politics. What has played out is a clear testament of what politics should
be…let us learn a few lessons from what has happened.
“For those that are yet to know that in politics there is hierarchy,
control, checks and balances the events of last week has shown that…There’s no
shame in it.
“Nothing he could do other than go back to the house and continue his
job as a legislator. Another side to that is that he should throw in the hat
and say ‘I’ve had enough, let someone else take over from me.
“Other than that he should just continue his basic responsibility of
continuing to participate in making good laws for the good people of Lagos.
He’ll take it like every other human being. It comes and goes. It is gone.”
