The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre) has applauded the impeachment of Mr. Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly amid years of allegations of multi-billion Naira fraud and gross misconduct. This development, according to HEDA, underscores the vital role of investigative journalism and sustained civic advocacy in promoting public participation, transparency, and accountability in governance.

In a statement signed by HEDA’s Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, the anti-corruption group particularly commended People’s Gazette and Sahara Reporters for their diligent investigative efforts, which exposed widespread corruption under Mr. Obasa’s leadership. Their reports, including revelations of several abuse of office in the last 4 years by the speaker and the most recent report of N43.5 billion controversially withdrawn for backup vehicles and other questionable expenditures, were instrumental in driving this significant action.

“As a civil society organization committed to transparency and anti-corruption advocacy, HEDA takes pride in its consistent calls for accountability regarding Mr. Obasa’s tenure. Over the years, several petitions detailing financial improprieties and abuse of office were filed, urging the appropriate authorities to act decisively,” the statement noted.

HEDA described Obasa’s eventual impeachment as a testament to the power of sustained advocacy, public pressure, and collaboration between the media and civil society.

However, the group stressed that the impeachment must not mark the end of this matter. “We call on the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take immediate and thorough action. It is imperative that these agencies investigate the allegations against Mr. Obasa, ensuring that justice is served and that any erring public officer found guilty faces the full weight of the law.” HEDA stated.

The civil society group also urged all public officials, particularly lawmakers, to uphold the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and service to the people. The organization reaffirmed its sawcommitment to fostering transparency, combating corruption, and advocating for justice in governance.
