Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday passed a vote of confidence on Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa. This followed the presentation of the report of a nine-man fact-finding ad-hoc committee of the House on allegations of corruption levelled against the Speaker by Sahara Reporters, headed by Victor Akande (Ojo Constituency 1) during plenary. The committee, in its report, stated that all the allegations were frivolous, unfounded and that the Speaker followed due process in all the dealings. It also recommended that the activities of the House should be digitalised for proper record-keeping and monitoring. After it was suggested that a vote of confidence be passed on the Speaker, Setonji David (Badagry II) moved a motion for the adoption of the report of the committee and was supported by Temitope Adewale (Ifako Ijaiye II).
