This guy is on his way back....that's if they allow this rascality to triumph..... The jags bulaba is more interested in his grip on Lagos than handling tissues of the country...
More like he is on his way out of the Lagos Apc with this move

If removing him during recess waa the problem, what if they convene during plenary and remove him again?
That’s the part that he does not appear to understand. His colleagues got tired of his leadership and removed him, just as they agreed at the beginning to make him their leader. They have the right to remove him. The seat is not his inheritance or family’s property.

Now his claim is that he should not have been removed while he was away from the country. He must be reminded that in this country, while Theodore Orji was in prison, Orji Uzor Kalu, an APC stalwart, bought his governorship nomination form, filled it, campaigned for him and made him the governor of Abia state. Again, while he was hiding in Rivers Government house, Fubara got the nomination form for the governor, campaigned for vigorously by Wike and made the governor.

So for Mr. Obasa, it no longer mattered if he was in the assembly on the day. His colleagues wanted him out and they had the votes to get him out. If he was there, they would have removed him. If he returns to the seat and they still choose to remove him, they will do it the same day.

APC humbled Ambode and as of today, he remains a staunch member. The butterfly must not term itself a bird, as Mr. Obasa wants to make people believe. Tinubu along with others in the governor’s council made him what he became. If there’s a decision against him, he must be loyal and keep quiet. He needs to retrace his steps and behave. However, if he feels that he has what it takes to return even to his seat in 2027, not to talk of the governor’s seat, then he can try.

Court has no jurisdiction on what happens on d floor of d house. The assembly members have d legitimacy to carryout their duties once they are in majority.

He only has a case if majority of d members are not involved.

Moreover,being a member of legislature and taking the same legislature to court is unlawful. He should be suspended indefinitely by d new speaker.
Obasa has thought that the speaker ship is born with him. Obasa has reached the peak of his career, things might fall apart and the centre might not hold for him again. You were a speaker for almost 20 years, only you. Obasa does not fear God!

Imagine how useless your comment is and silly you sound. So everybody must be defiant like you, like Kanu, like ekpa, like ugm like esn? And these stupid defiancy relegated the SE to the back seat of scheme of things in Nigeria today. We don't know when to stop just going like train that lost control.

Obasa had be speaker for ages misbehaving like idiot yet you want them to keep him ba? No wonder that bastard called kanu said "who is that idiot from SE who will disobey my order" I'm sure you are one of the idiot.

Everybody who moved on is a coward in your own silly world. To you everything must burn down, everything must be destroy to show your strenght.

Believe that and you will believe anything. The strategy of engineering chaos and then playing both sides might not work for him this time. Lagos will be interesting in 2023. A lot of hitherto suppressed Lagos APC politicians will come out to assert themselves against the landlord this time, otherwise they risk fading into oblivion.

What would be the final nail in the coffin would be if Tinubu goes ahead to prop up his son in 2027 as many have alleged. On the other hand, to not do that would mean that his dynasty risk being transferred to another who is not related by kin hence lacking continuity. Which would be tantamount to him having laboured for nought.

Lol...typical agbero reasoning.. Not sure you have an idea of how democracy works and the functions kf the 3 arms. The Judiciary is the interoreter of the law. They have juridsiction on disputes between and among other arms.

I am no supporter of Obasa but If he feels wronged by the actions of the house, he has the fundamental rights to approach the courts. Let the courts interprete the laws. Why should he be threatened with suspension?

You see why I call you a bloody bastard, whose mother slept with a thousand men, that's why you don't know your father who abandoned you.

The speaker is not on Lagos nor Nigeria soil at that moment. He was in a foreign country ( occupied with an assignment). The deputy is in authority at that moment.

In another school of thought,Nigeria jurisdiction does not reach USA. U can be incapacitated based on your location sometimes
Re: Obasa Challenges Removal, Drags Lagos Assembly, Meranda To Court by ValarDoharis: 10:16pm On Feb 15, 2025
You see how you're twisting the law to favor a miscarriage of justice! I'm not a fan of Obasa but clearly due process was not followed to impeach him. You can't shave a man's hair in his absence

Eagleways:
so at his level, you know more than he does?
.. What he said is absolutely correct.. The House of assembly is a court on its own were laws are made and signed into law..And taking that house to court is stabbing your colleagues on the back which is one of the rules in the standing order of the legislature.. He just nailed himself because he will be suspended indefinitely for defaulting on house rules. To become a speaker you must read vastly and not just wake up to share money😀

[b]Obasa Osha
!.

His head was shaved in his absence and the Mace (Symbol of Parliamentary Authority) used in removing him as speaker was fake. He had the original one kept [b][/b]safely.

Omo ógbon.

The main fear the LASG HOA have is the vengeance he will pull when he gets back as speaker.



Mace for impeachment can be any mace not necessary the one in his hideout..He is a failed leader already if among all the house members no one could fight for him and preventing that particular sitting from taking place because as long as the members form a quorum (1/3 of the entire members of HOA) are present and a mace is standing there.. Any motion raised and seconded on the flow of the house is final and will be used as a working document..if you can remember what happened in rivers state recently when fubara was to be impeached.. a mysterious fire erupted in the HOA plaza causing immediate evacuation of the building. Hence stopping the sitting from holding.. that is politics 101.. Obasa chop money alone and felt he was untouchable…😀 cool
