Lagos Drama: Is Obasa the Speaker or Just a Dreamer?

GAC (Governance Advisory Council) - Governorship Ambition - Impeachment - Lagos State Assembly - Mojisola Meranda - Mudashiru Obasa - Political Drama

Mudashiru Obasa's political theatrical has taken a twist! Is he really still the Speaker of the Lagos Assembly, or just hanging on a thread?

The political arena in Lagos is heating up with the entertaining saga of Mudashiru Obasa, the man who insists he’s still the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly despite being impeached. A vibrant youth group has recently stepped into the spotlight, publicly declaring that Obasa is no longer the Speaker and calling for him to cease any actions that might threaten state security. Their bold statement has left many engaged, with memes and social media reactions lighting up across the state, as the youth make it clear that they’re watching.

In a rebuttal that reads like the script of a political drama, Obasa has firmly denied any claims of his removal, describing the impeachment as illegitimate and asserting that he remains the Speaker. His fight to reclaim his title seems more like a scene from a political thriller, as the tension grows in the already fraught assembly. Meanwhile, those around him are shrugging off his claims, insisting that the action taken against him was justified, owing to allegations concerning misconduct and mismanagement of funds.

The vibes of disagreement are rich, with civil rights activist Dr. Wale Ajewunmi entering the fray to caution Obasa. His warning to the APC (All Progressives Congress) to reign in Obasa's influence signifies the rising stakes in this ongoing spectacle. Meanwhile, Obasa is unapologetically ambitious as he defends his aspirations to govern Lagos, stating, “Having ambition to become governor is not a sin.” Talk about ambition! The question remains - is he just a dreamer or can he somehow turn this around?

As this soap opera unfolds, Lagosians are left to wonder about their leaders and their futures. Many people are having fun cracking jokes and sharing opinions online, but behind the glibness, the issue of governance looms large. A remarkable fact? Mudashiru Obasa is not the first Speaker to be embroiled in controversy; history shows that former politicians often find their way back into power after several hiccups. And did you know that Lagos is the most populous city in Africa? With such a vibrant and youthful population, it’s no wonder the stakes in the political game are exceedingly high!
