The Lagos State House of Assembly has demonstrated its knack for political drama by impeaching its Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, during a plenary session held on Monday. The decision follows allegations of fraud leveled against Obasa, though details of the impeachment process remain as murky as a Lagos rainy day.
In a swift political shuffle, the Deputy Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, wasted no time in stepping into the role of Speaker, officially taking over the Assembly’s gavel. Meanwhile, Obasa’s camp has been eerily silent. Efforts to reach his Chief Press Secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele, have so far been unsuccessful, as calls and text messages appear to have gone into voicemail limbo.
As Lagosians love to say, “The game is the game.” Stay tuned for more updates—because in Lagos politics, the story is never over until it’s really over.
