The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, on Saturday appeared before the House panel of enquiry on the corruption allegations levelled against him by an online medium.
The online medium said that it discovered that the accounts registered with various names were being used to siphon public funds and many other allegations against the Speaker. “We bought Land Cruisers for principal officers of the House. The cars we bought for them were more expensive than those of other members and we followed due process in the purchase.
Obasa, while explaining the expenditure of N80m as estacode for the training of women in Dubai, said that wives of the 20 lawmakers attended the event and that he was there to declare the event open.“Air ticket to Dubai alone cost about N2m. Some of these allegations were raised for a crusade to get the Speaker out of office.
“We were invited by the Consular General for a programme in the United States. Later, the programme was postponed, but I had gone ahead. On the report that he tricked ex-governor Akinwunmi Ambode to spend N350m on hosting a meeting of Conference of Speakers, Obasa told the committee that this was not possible. He said such a situation was not possible since Ambode was an accountant, who rose to be the chief accountant of the state.My kidnappers said they wouldn’t mind going to hell – Bishop Masin, Nasarawa CAN chairman
