The security at the Lagos State House of Assembly has been tightened ahead of Monday’s plenary session amid the controversy around impeached speaker Mudashiru Obasa.
Per reports on Monday, officials have been instructed by the assembly to tender valid identity cards to gain access to the premises.
It was also gathered that a notice to staff signed by Omotayo Adekemi on behalf of the Ag. Clerk of the House, Taiwo Ottun said, “Regarding management directives, all staff members and legislative aides must present valid identity cards to access the House premises.”
Ottun added that those without a valid identity card would be denied entry.
According to him, the Lagos State Police Command has pledged to maintain order regardless of how events unfold at the assembly.
Daily Sun reported that Obasa said his removal did not follow due process hence he remains a speaker.
“I am not disturbed or perturbed and I am not afraid. I will debunk all the allegations levelled against me by the House.
“I have not done anything wrong. I have been a lawmaker for over two decades and I am the longest-serving lawmaker in the House,” he stated.
