The impeached former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a lawsuit before a Lagos High Court seeking his immediate reinstatement.


Obasa, who was removed from office on January 13, 2025, is challenging the legality of his impeachment and is asking the court to nullify the decision and restore him as Speaker

Alexa News reported that the lawsuit, filed on Thursday, February 13, names the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendant


Obasa argues that the plenary session where he was impeached was not properly convened, rendering the proceedings unconstitutional. He contends that lawmakers met during a recess without formally reconvening, violating constitutional provisions and the Assembly's standing orders


The lawsuit insists that the impeachment was conducted outside legal procedures and should therefore be invalidated. The case has not yet been assigned to a judge, and no hearing date has been schedule
