    Lagos Court Adjourns Obasa’s Challenge Of Speakership Removal To March 10

    The suit filed by Hon. Mudashiru Obasa to challenge his removal as Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly continued on Friday at the State High Court sitting in Ikeja.

    Justice Yetunde Pinheiro has adjourned till Monday, March 10 to hear all new and pending applications in the matter.

    The judge ordered all parties to file and serve all necessary processes to enable the court hear all the pending applications at the next adjourned date.

    In some of the pending applications, the Deputy Speaker and 36 other lawmakers are asking the court to dismiss the suit or strike it out. They submitted that the matter has become an academic exercise.

    Two new counsels, Olusola Idowu (SAN) and Clement Onwuenwunor purportedly representing some of the lawmakers also came into the matter. They have also filed their applications having now joined the suit.

    After listening to the submissions of all counsel, Justice Pinheiro said she would adjourn the matter till Monday in the interest of justice.

    Outside the courtroom, Counsel to Speaker Obasa, Afolabi Fashanu (SAN), told journalists that beyond challenging his removal for not following due process, his client is also challenging the allegations in the notice of his removal which include fraud, high-handedness, abuse of office, and gross misconduct as he was not given a fair hearing.

    One of the counsels, Romeo Michael, who is representing 34 lawmakers who have just been joined in the suit said they have a counterclaim, urging the court to declare that Obasa’s removal was constitutional and in line with section 92 of the 1999 Nigerian constitution.
