The invasion of the Lagos State House of Assembly by the embattled Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa and his supporters has been described as an embarrassment.
The chairman of the Assembly Committee on Information, Strategy, and Security, Stephen Ogundipe decried the chaos that occurred at the House when Obasa stormed the complex with his supporters and some security operatives.
Despite resuming office as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, 26 lawmakers boycotted today’s plenary in solidarity with Mojisola Meranda, who was appointed to replace Obasa after his impeachment.
However, in his reaction, Ogundipe said, “This is the Lagos State House of Assembly, and what we are witnessing today is shocking.
“If there are issues, leadership should address us directly, not resort to this kind of display,” he added.
Ogundipe also lamented that security operatives had prevented him from accessing the Assembly complex following the style at which Obasa chose to resume office as Speaker.
