Addressing the withdrawal of Meranda’s security aides while his own were reinstated, Obasa said, “When my security was withdrawn without my consent, did I complain? At the Marina meeting, Meranda herself said she had stepped down. When you resign, the paraphernalia of office is removed.”
Obasa maintains that his removal by 36 of the 40-member House is invalid. “I have never been removed. I am not against removal, but it must follow the rules of the House and the Constitution,” he asserted.
