The Lagos State House of Assembly has said it was awaiting the resumption of its impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa to after which he would be probed.
The spokesperson for the House, Olukayode Ogundipe, revealed this on Monday.
Ogundipe said, “On the other allegations against him, when he is on the ground physically, those ones will be taken care of.
“There are other things we’ve also been hearing about different amounts of money being spent by him. We felt we didn’t know how they got the record of those, but the ones we have, when he’s seated with us, actions will be taken.”
The Assembly spokesperson, representing Oshodi Constituency I, said, the House would petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC when Obasa resumes adding that, probably a committee will be set up to look into it or probably it will also be looked at by the leadership of the House.
“Those formalities as per procedures will be followed to the letter. So I’m sure you should expect the House to react to that when the time comes.”
The lawmakers had last week removed Obasa, citing, among other things, corruption allegations.
But Obasa, last Saturday, dismissed the corruption allegation raised by the lawmakers, saying his removal was unprocedural, insisting that he remained the authentic Speaker.
“If you want to claim that I’m corrupt, please prove it, let us see it,” Obasa told supporters who welcomed him at the Speaker’s Lodge on Saturday.
