Former Deputy Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly Olumuyiwa Jimoh has expressed his doubts in former Speaker Obasa’s legal intelligence and knowledge in government affairs.
Jimoh in an interview with the channels TV explained that Obasa’s claim on his removal not following due process is baseless as more than two-third of the house were in support of his removal.
He also emphasised that the process of removing a Speaker and Governor is stipulated in the section 92 subsection 2 of the Nigerian Constitution, which states that states a Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly can be removed from office by a resolution of the House of Assembly. The resolution must be passed by a two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly members
He said:
“You can understand his predicament, his predicament is that someone who has been in office for the past 10 years, and suddenly all those benefits and privileges have been withdrawn, so he feels like committing suicide.
He’s committing suicide in the sense that the point is making is out of point, the removal of the speaker is only by the two-third of the majority of the honourable member and they’re more than two-third, and the allegations were itemized and characterised from financial misappropriation, no respect for merit and tradition of the house and high-handedness of fellow colleagues who made you speaker.
“It is these people that have the right, prerogative and authority, to remove you, which they’re more than two-third.
“Obasa claims to be a lawyer, which I don’t believe in a lawyer that I can’t give a case to litigate for me as a person. He claimed that it was not due process, what due process do you need to remove a speaker, the due process is done since two-third of the honourable members, more than two-third.
“The erroneous impression got to his head that the removal of governor is the same method you can use to remove speaker which is not, it is stipulated in the constitution section 92, subsection 2 states it clearly. You can be speaker in the morning and your fellow colleague feels the cap you put on.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
