A former speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has dragged the Assembly and the new speaker, Mojisola Meranda, before the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja, challenging the legality of his sack.

Obasa, in the suit which is yet to be assigned to a judge as at the time of this report, is urging the court to declare that his colleagues in the House acted unlawfully by removing him while the Assembly was on recess.

In the application dated February 12, 2025, and filed by his lawyer, Chief Afolabi Fashanu (SAN), the plaintiff claimed that he was removed from his position on January 13, 2025, by 36 lawmakers while he was out of the country.

The embattled lawmaker is seeking an order of the court fixing a date for the accelerated hearing of the case and to shorten the time allowed for the defendants to respond with counter-affidavits or written addresses to seven days post-hearing.

He also asked the court to order that the time for the plaintiff to file their replies on points of law be limited to three days.

Obasa’s application is based on nine grounds, focusing on the interpretation of various sections of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), and the Rules and Standing Orders of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

The plaintiff challenged the constitutionality of the Lagos State House of Assembly’s sitting and proceedings during recess without the speaker convening the House or delegating authority to someone else to do so.

“Public interest necessitates that this case be heard and resolved quickly to avoid disruption of legislative activities in the state,” he noted.

Obasa maintained that the court must urgently determine the legality behind the Assembly’s current leadership because it violates the applicable laws and rules.

He further asserts that the court holds inherent powers to grant expedited hearings and time limitations.

No date has been fixed for the hearing of the matter.
