He has the backing of Tinubu.. Miranda securities has been withdrawn.
You don't get it.
I am talking about legality here not some mysterious backing.
He has been impeached. Whatever official act he performs is null and void.
Even if the house accepts him without a new election, any Lagosian or political party can go to court to
challenge the illegality.

Do you think Tinubu will openly force the house to re-elect Obasa as speaker?

If this was a fresh tussle for speakership, then Obasa has already won
but right now, he has so many hurdles in his path, the major of which is to be re-elected.

Since the issue started, Tinubu has been using proxies to steer the case but avoiding direct
involvement. He could have ordered Meranda to resign and the house to re-elect Obasa but
he hasn't yet.
I believe he has his reasons for doing so.

Anyone who has contrary opinions should come to the assembly plenary and make this known.

You can take a rest if you are tired of doing your job.

Obviously, Obasa remover was without President Tinubu’s approval. Who is behind this coup on Obasa? Maybe the 2nd in power. Who knows?
So tinubu must approve of it before they can carry out their duties

Una shame don dey shameless walai

Obasa is a force to be reckon with..If the house insists on this impeachment, this might have a significant effect on 2027 governorship and presidential election in Lagos State.

The whole drama is funny and at the same time shameful.

It is funny that a single individual wants to impose himself as the leader of a 40-man group and he actually thinks he has every right to do so.

It is shameful because the powers that be actually supports his line of reasoning and are willing to make available to him every instrument/machinery of the state for him to achieve such inglorious goal .

Now he will be presiding over members who don't want him on the seat. How will they be able to legislate properly in the best interest of the state when they don't even agree ?
And he is not from Lagos while Miranda is a Lagosian

I don't know who is beating this drum for Obasa but one thing is sure, those people sef no small..

So much for Democracy 🤔
It is all about 2027, Jagaban doesn't a repeat of the electoral defeat he suffered in Alimosho area at the last election to occur in Agege where Obasa seems to control hence the desperation.

Why can't they impeach him again, don't they have balls to do that the right way?
