Drama at Lagos Assembly as Impeached Speaker Obasa Storms Complex with Armed Security

 

The political tension at the Lagos State House of Assembly escalated on February 27, as Mudashiru Obasa, the impeached Speaker, stormed the Assembly complex accompanied by a heavily armed security team.

Obasa, who was removed from office last month, arrived at the House of Assembly flanked by over 11 police officers. Ignoring his fellow lawmakers who were gathered in the Assembly garden discussing the ongoing crisis, he proceeded directly to the Speaker’s office.

This development comes just hours after security details assigned to Meranda Mojisola, the newly appointed Speaker, were abruptly withdrawn. The move has left both the Speaker and the legislative building vulnerable, raising serious concerns over the stability of the Assembly.

As the power tussle within the Lagos State House of Assembly intensifies, all eyes remain on the next steps of the warring factions and the potential impact on governance in the state.
