The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has been impeached.
Hon. Obasa was impeached on Monday following the allegation of multiple statutory and financial infractions.
However, the embattled Speaker has been subsequently replaced by his Deputy, Hon. Lasbat Meranda.
Hon. Meranda represents Apapa state constituency 1. She was also a former Chief Whip of the House.
The removal came days after The Gazette reported how Mr Obasa oversaw the withdrawal of N43.5 billion for back up vehicles for lawmakers, as well as other alleged controversial activities.
Hon. Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015, resuming office alongside former one-term governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
