The Lagos State High Court has invalidated the recent leadership change in the Lagos House of Assembly, declaring the removal of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker unlawful.

In a landmark ruling delivered in Ikeja on Wednesday, Justice Yetunde Pinheiro ruled that the January 13, 2025 proceedings that led to Obasa’s removal did not follow constitutional requirements.

The court specifically found that the actions of the majority lawmakers, including Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda who had assumed the Speaker position, were conducted without proper legal foundation.

Justice Pinheiro’s judgment not only reinstated Obasa to his position as Speaker but also nullified all resolutions and decisions that emerged from the controversial January 13 sitting.

Additionally, the court awarded damages of ₦500,000 to Obasa.

The ruling effectively restores the previous leadership structure of the Lagos State House of Assembly, ending a period of constitutional uncertainty in the state’s legislative body.

Analysts say that the judgment has significant implications for the legislative activities conducted during the period of contested leadership.
