The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday removed two of its principal officers: Chief Whip, Rotimi Abiru , and the Deputy Majority Leader, Olumuyiwa Jimoh . Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, also announced the indefinite suspension of Moshood Oshun and Kazeem Adewale , during the plenary. Abiru tells GBENGA ADENIJI and GBENRO ADEOYE that the action was flawed by irregularities
That is laughable. Indeed, every ranking member of the House is entitled to be the Speaker so if one has the intention to be the Speaker, I don’t think there’s any crime in that. The truth of the matter is we are not politicking at the moment. The 9th Assembly has been inaugurated and we’ve been on for about eight months and for me, 2023 is a long time to come.
At the inception when we were going to put together the issue of the leadership of the House, there was a rumour that the Speaker had the intention of removing two of the returning officers that came from the 8th Assembly to the 9th Assembly.
In the 9th Assembly, having also prevailed on us that the Speaker should return ditto with other members, we did not think there was any problem between him and the Speaker. But from what has emerged in the last few days, it is getting obvious that the Speaker had an ulterior motive against the gentleman leader and brother. There was no need for the Speaker to have created an atmosphere in the House of Assembly whereby he would want to separate himself from the leadership of Senator Osinowo.
The clerk of the house said the decisions against you and others were taken because of some critical issues that could divide the house. Does that mean you and others have been divisive?
