Obasa, who was away in the United States when he was removed, denied the allegations upon his return to Lagos on January 25, 2025, asking the lawmakers to prove their corruption allegations against him.
He also claimed to be the Speaker of the House still, faulting his removal process.
“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.”
Meanwhile, a political ally of the impeached speaker who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Obasa will resume his duty as the number three man in Lagos on Tuesday 18th February 2025.
“It is true that he’s resuming as Lagos Speaker on 18th February 2025. Like we all know that his removal was illegal and the authority intervened, even though some people are still adamant about the decision, it is time to know who is who in the house,” he said.
