Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi, a prominent Lagos political figure, played a key role in the impeachment of Lagos Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa. According to reports, Olusi presented President Bola Tinubu with a detailed account of Obasa's alleged misconduct, including insubordination towards political leaders and disrespect towards Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Olusi's revelations, which implicated Obasa in undermining Sanwo-Olu's authority and pursuing his own gubernatorial ambitions, ultimately led to Obasa's removal and solidified Tinubu's political control in Lagos.
In the aftermath of Lagos Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa ’s impeachment, details have emerged about the pivotal role played by Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi , a respected political leader in Lagos State.
According to ThisDay, Olusi reportedly gave a detailed situation report to President Bola Tinubu, detailing Obasa’s alleged insubordination toward political leaders in the state and repeated acts of disrespect toward Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Sources revealed in the report that Olusi accused Obasa of undermining Sanwo-Olu’s authority, noting his absence at critical events, delays in attending functions, and refusal to clear the governor’s executive council nominees unless political favours were granted.
Obasa’s bold gubernatorial ambitions further fueled tensions. His declaration that “no one could stop him” from becoming the next governor of Lagos State reportedly caused unease among party stalwarts. This insider information to Tinubu set the stage for Obasa’s eventual impeachment, which prompted a dramatic shift in Lagos' political landscape and reinforcing Tinubu’s grip on the state’s political machinery ahead of the 2027 elections.
