A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has backed the impeachment of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Mudashiru Obasa.
Media Talk Africa reports that members of the assembly on Monday, impeached the Speaker over alleged multiple statutory and financial infractions.
Mojisola Meranda Ojora was subsequently elected as the new Speaker of the State House of Assembly.
Reacting, Igbokwe quickly took to his Facebook page to express support for the impeachment, stating that the embattled Speaker have not been working with the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
He wrote, “The deed is done in LAHA!!! Hon Mudashiru Obasa impeached as Speaker Lagos State House of Assembly for gross misconduct and abuse of office. Hon Mojisola Melanda Ojora is the new Speaker”.
Commenting on his own post, the APC chieftain wrote, “He was on Governor Sanwo Olu neck for years. Every attempt to persuade him to work the Governor fell on deaf ears. Many interventions by GAC members did not help matters”.
