By DRAMA is playing out as an impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has declared himself back as the authentic Speaker of the House, saying: “I have resumed as Lagos Speaker.”
Obasa made the audacious declaration on Thursday after returning to the Assembly Complex under the full protection of police and State Security Service operatives.
“I’ve resumed, and I remain the Speaker of the Assembly,” Obasa declared.
Stonix News reports that it was his first time back since his removal on 13 January 2025.
Obasa had arrived at the complex with more than 11 police officers and headed straight to the Speaker’s Office, ignoring his colleagues who were seen deliberating in the Assembly’s garden before his entrance.

His return follows a dramatic turn of events at the Assembly, where the security details of the new Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, were reportedly withdrawn.
Earlier, the police escorts assigned to Meranda had been withdrawn with immediate effect, leaving both the Speaker and the Assembly complex porose.
