Lagos State House of Assembly lawmakers have condemned what they described as the invasion of the assembly by its former speaker, Mudashiru Obasa.

The Chairman, Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Information Strategy Security, Stephen Olukayode Ogundipe, said this in a statement on Friday.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the rules governing plenary sessions of the House are clear. A valid sitting requires a formal notice to all members, the presence of a quorum, an approved agenda, and the mace—an essential symbol of legislative authority,” he said.

“None of these procedural requirements were met during the purported session, with only 5 out of 40 members present, rendering it unconstitutional and without legislative effect.

“The Lagos State House of Assembly remains steadfast in upholding the integrity of the legislature and is committed to maintaining the highest parliamentary standards.”

Ogundipe stated that as an institution dedicated to the progress and development of Lagos State, the lawmakers shall continue to act within the confines of the law to protect and preserve democratic governance.
