The Lagos State House of Assembly has impeached its speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, citing multiple statutory and financial irregularities.

Obasa has been replaced by his deputy, Mojisola Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1 and previously served as the house's chief whip. Mojeed Fatai has now assumed the position of Deputy Speaker.

The impeachment follows a series of controversy surrounding Obasa’s financial dealings. Notably, his removal comes just weeks after allegations surfaced claiming he spent N17 billion to repair a gate leading to the assembly.
