Key Moments in Obasa’s Impeachment as Lagos Speaker

On Monday, January 14, 2025, Mudashiru Obasa’s tenure as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly came to an end when he was impeached by more than two-thirds of the 40-member legislative body for suspected misbehavior and other misdeeds. He had served in that capacity for approximately ten years.

The first woman to lead the South-West state’s legislature was Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, Obasa’s deputy, who was chosen Speaker right away.
