365Daily – The Lagos State House of Assembly has reinstated Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker, nearly two months after his impeachment in January.

Obasa’s re-election was confirmed on Monday during a session in the House chamber, following the resignation of Speaker Moji Meranda. Her departure marked the end of weeks of internal disputes that had plagued the assembly.

Following his removal, Obasa dismissed the impeachment as illegitimate, insisting it did not follow due process.

Despite the political turmoil, he assured that there would be no repercussions for the more than 30 legislators who voted to unseat him, referring to them as his “brothers and sisters.”
