By The impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly has sparked widespread reactions, with many expressing their views on social media and beyond. Obasa, who held the position since 2015, was removed following allegations of gross misconduct and financial impropriety.
His impeachment comes just weeks after he hinted at his ambition to contest for the governorship of Lagos State, a move that some political observers have described as overreaching. The allegations and subsequent removal have ignited debates about accountability, transparency, and the power dynamics within Lagos politics.
On social media, reactions were swift. VickWinners commented, “And just like that, the politics of 2027 officially begins.”
Damola_ade77 remarked, “Emergency lovers of Lagos will now start defending Obasa, saying he is the best thing since chocomilo.”
GeeTechzone added, “You mean Obasa for Agege? Omo, e no go dey easy o.”
Some commenters linked Obasa’s political ambitions to his removal. CMoseschuks stated, “Obasa, after showing interest in Lagos governorship without permission from the man who removed Ambode, bought himself trouble.” Ariktimmy101 said, “He really thought he was bigger than he is in this political chess.”
Others expressed support for the impeachment, with one user writing, “Wow, great news. He was impeached for fraudulent allegations.”
