Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa&#8217;s claim to still be the Speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly continues. Obasa insists that his removal was illegal, as it didn&#8217;t follow the constitutional process. However, a civil society organization, The Group for Good Governance (TGG), has dismissed his claim as a &#8220;huge joke&#8221; that shows disregard for institutions.<\/p>\n<p>TGG accuses Obasa of seeing himself as above the law and state institutions, labeling him &#8220;Lord of Lagos&#8221;. They urge Lagosians to ignore his claim, stating that his arrogance and lies are attempts to calm his followers. TGG believes Obasa&#8217;s removal was due to his flagrant disregard for established procedures in the state assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Obasa&#8217;s impeachment has been seen as a welcome change by many, including the staff of the Lagos State House of Assembly. They have complained about his high-handedness and poor treatment of workers, including their welfare. The impeachment has also been described as a &#8220;breath of fresh air&#8221; by workers within the assembly complex.<\/p>\n<p>The fall of Obasa has been attributed to his own actions, including his ambition to become the next governor of Lagos in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>His alleged attempts to build a grassroots network across Lagos, reportedly rattled party elders and powerbrokers, who viewed it as a challenge to the status quo. With his impeachment, Obasa&#8217;s gubernatorial ambitions may now be on hold, if not permanently derailed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The controversy surrounding Hon.
