Obasa was reinstated following the resignation of Mojisola Meranda, who stepped down from the role with immediate effect.

He was returned as the speaker during Monday’s plenary session.

His re-election followed the nomination by a former Majority Leader of the House, Noheem Adams, who represents Eti-Osa Constituency 1.

Obasa subsequently took the oath of office as the new Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly seven weeks after his removal.

He was first elected into the House in 2007. He has been in the chamber since then. He emerged as a speaker in June 2015 before his removal in January 2025.

Recall that in January, the lawmakers impeached Obasa over multiple allegations, including poor leadership style, high-handedness, frequent lateness to plenary sessions, abuse of office, and intimidation of colleagues.

 

The impeachment was supported by over 90 per cent of the lawmakers.

Reacting to his impeachment, Obasa rejected the process, insisting that the lawmakers did not follow the constitutional procedure to remove him as speaker.

He also denied the allegations of corruption brought against him by the lawmakers during his removal, describing the alleged financial misappropriations as “impossible.”

“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,” Obasa had said while denying the corruption allegations against him.

In a bid to resolve the leadership crisis, notable All Progressives Congress leaders, including former governors of Osun, Ogun, and Lagos states, Bisi Akande, Segun Osoba, and Akinwunmi Ambode, respectively, intervened on the directive of President Bola Tinubu.

After a reconciliation meeting with all lawmakers on Monday, Meranda tendered her resignation alongside other top principal executives.

“This is a notice of resignation as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly,” Meranda announced during the plenary.

Subsequently, Obasa was returned as the Speaker of the House.

Speaking during the plenary session, he thanked the lawmaker while calling for unity and love.

He said, “We want to assure Lagosians that we have resolved and determined to serve their interest and protect their interest always.

“Our major responsibility is to represent them and; that’s what we have been doing.

“What is happening here today shows that the Lagos State House of Assembly is capable and is a House of integrity. It is a house that has an internal mechanism to resolve issues in the interest of the institution and our party.

“Today is not the day for speech-making but to celebrate my colleagues and thank them for all they have been doing. I am sure we will continue to work together in peace, love and harmony.”
