The Lagos State House of Assembly has re-elected Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker, nearly two months after his impeachment in January.
His reinstatement was announced at the House chamber on Monday following the resignation of Speaker Moji Meranda, bringing an end to weeks of internal wrangling that had gripped the assembly.
Obasa, who had dismissed his impeachment as a mere joke, maintained that the process did not follow due process.
Despite the dramatic ouster, he assured that there would be no reprisals against the more than 30 legislators who voted against him, describing them as his “brothers and sisters.”
