  • PublishedJanuary 14, 2025

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Fouad Oki has said Mudashiru Obasa was impeached as the speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly due to his alleged unimaginable behavior.

According to Oki, the impeachment of Obasa was in the best interests of the state.

Oki said President Bola Tinubu himself saw the Speaker’s alleged unimaginable behavior when he tried to resolve the crisis in the house.

It would be recalled that Obasa was impeached by the assembly on Monday over allegations of fraud, a move Oki said was long overdue.

The lawmakers later explained Obasa was impeached to save the integrity and sanctity of the House of Assembly and Lagos State.

Oki, who appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Monday, hours after the Speaker’s impeachment, also said President Bola Tinubu tried to resolve the crisis in the state legislature.

“Before the president came home, this issue had been lingering.

“In the wisdom of members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, GAC, the president’s attention was called.

“The president, as father and leader, called a meeting wherein he tried to make a sense out 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,” Oki said.
