Lagos Assembly: Omo Eko Youths Caution Obasa

Omo Eko Youth Network, an indigenous youth group has cautioned former Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Mudashiru Obasa not cause chaos in the state amidst post removal struggle.

Eko Youth Network in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Convener, Adewumi Olufemi said the ongoing leadership tussle in Lagos State House of Assembly is needless, noting that 37 members legally removed Obasa as Speaker on January 13, 2025.

The group noted that the series of attempts by removed Speaker, Obasa to force himself back to office is fast becoming major distractions for governance in the Centre of Excellence.

According to them, the removal of Hon Mudashiru Obasa has attracted attention to Lagos State due to his scheme aimed at staging comeback against the wish majority of Assembly members. It should be noted that 37 members legally and validly removed the member representing Agege Constituency 1 as Speaker inline with provisions of 1999 Constitution.

“It’s therefore unbecoming to see Obasa through his Aide announcing the plan to return back to office as Speaker despite filing law suit against the Lagos Assembly and new Speaker, Hon Mojisola Lasbat Meranda. We feel this move is a call to anarchy and Stakeholders must call him to order.

“We believe the removed Speaker should be grateful for opportunity given to him by Lagosians over the years not minding his root. Obasa is free to join other members on the fall of the House while waiting for pursuing court case challenging his removal as Speaker.”

Eko Youth Network therefore implored Obasa and his allies to be law-abiding as well as avoid actions capable of disruption peaceful political atmosphere in Lagos
