The former Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa has said due process was not followed in his removal, noting that he believed he remained the speaker until the right thing is done.

Speaking while addressing his supporters at the Speaker’s Lodge in Lagos on Saturday, he said while he was not afraid of being removed as the speaker, the right process was not followed, challenging his colleagues to do the right thing.

“I am not afraid of being removed as the speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly but the right process was not followed.

“I believe I am still the speaker until they follow the right process,” he said.

“As a Muslim, I believe in fate “But let’s do it the proper way” Obasa remarked.
Due to allegations of misbehavior and other offenses, Obasa, who had been the state speaker from June 2015 to January 2025 for almost ten years, was suspended by more than two-thirds of the 40-member legislative house on January 13 2025.

He claimed that the state police commissioner had assisted in his suspension while he was abroad.
He added that with more than 200 policemen present, security personnel under the command of the police commissioner broke into the assembly complex and his residences in Agege and Ikeja, trapping his family inside.
Obasa dismissed the claims of embezzlement against him and made fun of the N16 billion gate building claim.

Obasa asked his detractors to give proof of charges that indicate exactly what he had done
“The Lagos State House of Assembly is above common standard of excellence.
