Fouad Oki, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has defended the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, describing it as a decision that was long overdue.

Obasa was removed from his position on Monday following allegations of fraud, a move Oki supported in a Monday appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

Oki explained that President Bola Tinubu had attempted to resolve the crisis within the Lagos State Assembly, but Obasa’s stubbornness ultimately led to his downfall.

Oki stated that Obasa’s refusal to cooperate contributed to the decision to impeach him, with Mojisola Meranda subsequently appointed as his replacement.

“Before the president came home, this issue had been lingering. In the wisdom of members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), the president’s attention was called,” Oki said on the show.

“The president, as father and leader, called a meeting wherein he tried to make a sense out of the observations raised by elders of the party. Unfortunately, the president saw by himself a recalcitrant [Obasa]. I think that is what broke the camel’s back.”
