Legal representatives of Mudashiru Obasa, the embattled Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, have stated that he will not resume his legislative duties until the court delivers its verdict on his legal battles.
Obasa has been facing legal scrutiny over allegations of financial mismanagement and abuse of office. Amid growing political tensions, his lawyer, Mr. Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), clarified that Obasa remains committed to due process and will respect the court’s decision before making any moves regarding his political future.
