The embattled Mudashiru Obasa has stated that he continues to hold the position of Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly until “the right thing is done.”
Obasa was impeached by members of the Assembly on January 13, following allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.
His removal came shortly after accusations were made regarding his alleged spending of N17 billion on a gate for the assembly complex.
