Samson Folarin and Oladimeji RamonThe Lagos State House of Assembly has reportedly concluded plans to clear the embattled Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, of allegations of financial misconduct and corruption. Obasa faced a panel of enquiry on Saturday to answer the corruption allegations against him recently published by an online medium. According to HEDA’s Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, in a statement on Sunday, the allegations against Obasa should be handled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Suraju said, “The panel set up by the Lagos State House of Assembly is made up cronies of the Speaker. “The allegations against the Speaker are criminal in nature and completely outside the parliamentary power of the Assembly.
