The ongoing crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly has turned into a political spectacle, leaving many questioning the integrity of governance in the state.
With conflicting reports on impeachment proceedings and reinstatements, the situation remains chaotic and embarrassing for Lagosians.
A Leadership Crisis or Political Drama?
The controversy surrounding the impeachment of Speaker Mudashiru Obasa has created confusion, with questions lingering about who reinstated whom and under what authority.
Since the matter is already in court, many believe all parties should respect the rule of law and maintain the status quo.
Adding to the uncertainty, the Lagos State Police Command has yet to clarify its role in the unfolding drama. Lagosians deserve transparency on the security agencies’ position regarding this power tussle.
Obasa’s Stance and the Way Forward
Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has repeatedly stated that he is not afraid of impeachment but insists that due process must be followed.
Now that he is back in the House, the next logical step for his opponents would be to reconvene and pass a vote of no confidence if they truly believe in their initial impeachment process.
Instead, lawmakers appear scattered and divided, rather than taking decisive action. Rather than allowing the crisis to drag on, they should either move forward with a lawful process or accept his leadership and restore stability to the Assembly.
Lagos Deserves Better
The ongoing power struggle is tarnishing Lagos State’s reputation, turning it into a subject of public ridicule. Political actors must prioritize governance over personal interests and uphold the state’s legacy as Nigeria’s economic powerhouse.
The people of Lagos deserve better than this political drama. It is time for lawmakers to uphold integrity, follow due process, and restore confidence in the leadership of the House.
