Mojisola Meranda, speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, has criticized Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, for allegedly holding an “illegitimate plenary”.
Recall Theliberationnews reported on Thursday that the embattled speaker, Obasa entered the assembly complex and presided over a “plenary session” declaring that he was never removed as the assembly’s speaker.
Obasa said he reported removal was null and void noting that he had only being on vacation some January.
Meanwhile, close to 30 legislators loyal to Meranda showewd up in court on Friday over a lawsuit filed by Obasa, challenging his removal from office.
Speaking after the court session, Meranda said the legal battle was only just beginning and urged all parties to allow their legal teams to handle the matter.
“This is actually just the beginning. Just like what happened in there, both parties have their representatives, and I think we should allow the legal team to do their job,” she said.
“I think he (Obasa) is still a member of the house of assembly, so he has every right to come. But the invasion and breaking into my office, that is really a big one.
“To me, that was just a show of shame because in our job, we have numbers that form a quorum. So if you are sitting with three or four members, you are only doing theatre.”
