LAGOS ASSEMBLY CRISIS: Meranda fights back, says Obasa ‘doing theater

by Editorial Team

in News

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mojisola Meranda, has lampooned the impeached Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa following his invasion of the Assembly on Thursday, describing his actions as shameful and unworthy of a high ranking lawmaker.

Obasa had stormed the Assembly along with his security details, disrupting proceedings and went ahead to hold plenary with four lawmakers after he dragged the state government and the Assembly to court over what he termed as unlawful removal.

Describing the actions of the ousted Speaker as disgraceful while speaking to journalists on Friday after the court hearing at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja,, Meranda said Obasa did not comport himself as a respectable member who has been in the House for two decades.

She also described Obasa’s sitting with four lawmakers as a “show of shame,” pointing out that a quorum in the Assembly requires more members.

Meranda who also addressed the disruption of plenary by Obasa, stated that while he (Obasa) still holds a seat in the Assembly and has the right to come, his invasion of her office was unacceptable.

“I think he is still a member of the House of Assembly so he has every right to come but the invasion and breaking into my office, that is really a big one,” she said.

“We have numbers that form a quorum, so if you’re sitting with three or four members, you’re only doing theatre,” she said.

The Speaker also condemned the initial withdrawal of security detail, saying it was a contrast to the usual level of protection she receives.

“I have three or four policemen, whereas my normal convoy, my team… 12 policemen, four DSS, and two anti-bomb units. But I don’t have that this morning,” she said.
