It has been announced that the Lagos State House of Assembly will look into claims of money mismanagement and fraud against former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.

The revelation was revealed by House spokesperson Olukayode Ogundipe in an interview with The Punch.

Once Obasa returns to his work at the Assembly, he said, the investigation will begin.

When Ogundipe is physically present, the other accusations against him will be addressed, he stated.

There are other rumors that we have heard regarding his spending varying sums of money. Although we were unsure of how they obtained the records of those, we will take action when he is sitting with us.

When asked if the Assembly would petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate the former Speaker, the Assembly spokesperson responded, “That will be explained when he’s on the ground, probably a committee will be set up to look into it or probably it will also be looked at by the leadership of the House.”

“We will adhere strictly to the procedures and formalities.” The House will undoubtedly respond to that when the time comes, I’m sure.

On January 13, more than two-thirds of the 40-member legislature impeached Obasa due to allegations of financial malfeasance.

Obasa has refuted these claims, asserting that he is still the legitimate Speaker and that his dismissal was unusual.

Speaking on behalf of the Assembly, Ogundipe has insisted that Obasa’s dismissal was legal and compliant with the constitution.

He said the House was waiting for Obasa to return to work so they could decide what to do next, including whether to conduct an investigation.

The former Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, is still and will remain one of us, and the procedure that was used to remove him was lawful,” Ogundipe stated.

As I mentioned before, the constitution is rather explicit about how we would bring him in if we wanted to alter the guard; we also utilized the same mechanism to remove him. The members, we know what we saw, and we planned to change guard, which is exactly what we did. The procedure was properly followed.
