    LAGOS LAWMAKERS IMPEACH SPEAKER AMID MULTIBILLION-NAIRA FRAUD ALLEGATION

    LAGOS LAWMAKERS IMPEACH SPEAKER AMID MULTIBILLION-NAIRA FRAUD ALLEGATIONS Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, accusing him of multiple statutory and financial infractions. Mr Obasa was subsequently replaced by his deputy Lasbat Meranda. Mrs Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1, was also a former chief whip of the House. The removal came days after The Gazette reported how Mr Obasa oversaw the withdrawal of N43.5 billion for back up vehicles for lawmakers, as well as other controversial activities. Mr Obasa was in Atlanta Unuted States of America, when he was impeached. Mr Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015, resuming office alongside former one-term governor Akinwunmi Ambode. Repeated charges of fraud and political thuggery have marked his speakership. In 2020, The Gazette published a series of investigations detailing how Mr Obasa diverted Lagos funds to his personal firms and bank accounts. Sahara Reporters at the time also uncovered Mr Obasa’s assets across Lagos. He was invited to be questioned by the EFCC after the anti-graft office became overwhelmed by media reports of Mr Obasa’s mismanagement. He denied all allegations, and no charges were filed after he met with detectives.

    PROTEST AT PDP HEADQUARTERS OVER TUSSLE FOR NATIONAL SECRETARY POSITION

    PROTEST AT PDP HEADQUARTERS OVER TUSSLE FOR NATIONAL SECRETARY POSITION Protest has erupted at the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja over the position of the National Secretary. Protesters loyal to Senator Sam Anyanwu, who was removed as the party’s scribe by the Court of Appeal have stormed the party’s secretariat. The protesters were opposing the anticipated resumption of Sunday Ude-Okoye, who was declared the authentic National Secretary by the Court of Appeal. The protesters gathered at the rear gate of the PDP’s Wadata Plaza headquarters in Wuse Zone 5, chanted slogans such as “No vacancy in the National Secretary’s office” and “Senator Sam Anyanwu remains the National Secretary.” The atmosphere is charged, with security personnel struggling to maintain order. Security has been heightened at the premises, to avoid any disruption of activities. A police lorry has been stationed outside the main gate, and personnel are working alongside the PDP’s regular security team to search workers and visitors before granting them entry into the building.
