A Lagos-based socio-cultural group, De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, has condemned the reinstatement of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, describing it as an embarrassment and a disgrace.
In a statement issued by its Media Office, the group criticized the lawmakers for what it called a missed opportunity to assert their independence and authority.
“The Lagos State House of Assembly has become an amusement park that will be remembered as a monument of shame. History will repeat itself, and Waterloo awaits its occupants,” the statement read.
The foundation also linked the development to the Renewed Hope agenda, suggesting that political maneuvering played a role in the Speaker’s return.
“What happened in the Lagos Assembly is nothing short of a disgraceful act. No matter how they try to justify their actions, the river must eventually flow into the ocean,” the group added.
According to the statement, both the Governor and the lawmakers failed to assert their authority, thereby remaining under the control of external forces.
“The Governor and House members lost the best opportunity to free themselves from shackles,” the group lamented.
Obasa’s reinstatement has sparked mixed reactions across Lagos, with critics questioning the integrity of the Assembly’s decision-making process.
