Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have warned Mudashiru Obasa not to heat up the polity following his impeachment as Speaker.

Obasa, the lawmaker representing Agege Constituency 1, was impeached on January 13 following allegations of gross misconduct and financial misappropriation.

Mojisola Meranda, who served as his deputy, was immediately sworn-in as Speaker by members of the house.

Reacting, Obasa, at a press conference in Lagos on Saturday, labelled his impeachment as unconditional.

His claim has been described as “uncalled for and unparliamentary” by members of the assembly in a statement signed by Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode.

According to the members, they all have the inalienable rights under the necessary statutory orders to remove their principal officers, including the Speaker.

This was as they appealed to Obasa “to toe the line of peace and harmony as being followed by others, as the current intransigent posture will heat up the polity and not augur well.”

They said “any attempt to heat up the polity will be resisted by the majority of distinguished members who unanimously elected Rt Hon Meranda.”

“Peace we want in Lagos and peace we will achieve,” they concluded.
