This action follows his impeachment on January 13, 2025, over allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement. In the interim, Mojisola Meranda was elected as the new Speaker. However, reports indicate that Obasa’s security details have been reinstated, while those of Meranda have been withdrawn, suggesting a possible reversal of the leadership change.
Obasa has also addressed allegations regarding the discovery of firearms in his office, dismissing them as baseless and an attempt to tarnish his image. He described the claims as lies from the pit of hell, attributing them to political adversaries.
The situation remains fluid, with tensions evident within the Assembly. The reinstatement of Obasa’s security details and the withdrawal of Meranda’s have further complicated the leadership dynamics. Stakeholders and observers are closely monitoring the unfolding events to understand the future direction of the Assembly’s leadership.
