Speaking for the first time since his removal on Saturday, January 25, Obasa stressed that the lawmakers needed to follow due procedures in their plot to remove him as the speaker.
The embattled lawmaker also dismissed the allegation of corruption brought against him by his colleagues in the House. He said that the allegation of financial misappropriation against him was impossible.
Addressing journalists on his return to Lagos on Saturday, the former speaker said, “I am not disturbed, I am not afraid.”
On Saturday morning, Obasa was given a heroic welcome by his supporters at the Speaker’s Lodge, 47, GRA Ikeja Lagos.
He said:
“My status in the house? I believe strongly I am still the speaker until the right thing has been done. If you want to remove me, remove me the proper way and I will not contest it.”
