The recent impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly has been described as a long-overdue decision, influenced by President Bola Tinubu’s intervention and Obasa’s defiance.
According to SR, prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Fouad Oki, has shed light on the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa, the former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
According to Oki, President Tinubu made “efforts” to mediate the crisis within the assembly, but Obasa’s unyielding stance led to his eventual removal.
Speaking on a Channels TV programme, Oki disclosed that President Tinubu intervened following concerns raised by members of the party’s Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC).
However, the president reportedly encountered resistance from Obasa, which Oki described as the final straw.
“Before the president came home, this issue had been lingering. In the wisdom of members of the GAC, the president’s attention was called,” Oki explained.
“The president, as father and leader, called a meeting wherein he tried to make sense of the observations raised by elders of the party. Unfortunately, the president saw by himself a recalcitrant Obasa. I think that is what broke the camel’s back.”
