We Reject Him — Lagos Lawmakers Speak on Obasa’s Return to Assembly Complex
A political storm is brewing in the Lagos State House of Assembly as some lawmakers have openly rejected the return of Mudashiru Obasa to the assembly complex.
The embattled Speaker, who has faced mounting opposition in recent times, arrived at the legislative building amidst tension and controversy.
A group of lawmakers, who are reportedly dissatisfied with Obasa’s leadership, expressed their strong disapproval, making it clear that they do not welcome his return. Speaking to journalists, a lawmaker who preferred to remain anonymous stated, “We reject him. His leadership has been riddled with issues that undermine the integrity of this assembly.”
Obasa, who has served multiple terms as Speaker, has been at the centre of several political disputes within the legislative body. Sources indicate that his return to the assembly complex was met with resistance from colleagues who believe his continued leadership would be detrimental to the house’s progress.
As tensions escalate, political observers speculate that this rejection could lead to further instability within the Lagos State House of Assembly. While some lawmakers remain staunchly opposed to Obasa, others have maintained their support, setting the stage for a potential power struggle.
The Speaker has yet to make an official statement regarding the lawmakers’ opposition. However, insiders suggest that efforts are underway to resolve the dispute and restore unity within the legislative chamber.
The unfolding situation continues to draw attention from political analysts and the general public, as many await the next development in this high-stakes political drama.
