Obasa made this statement during a press briefing at his home in Lagos on Saturday. He challenged state leaders to show proof of when and where he declared an interest in succeeding the current governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

“Having an ambition to be governor is not a crime. During the budget presentation on the floor of the House, I stated that I wasn’t thinking about becoming governor. However, this doesn’t mean I’m not qualified or experienced. I still stand by that statement,” he said.

Obasa, who was recently impeached, also criticized the heavy security presence at the assembly complex during the impeachment process. He claimed he was removed as Speaker in his absence while he was outside the country.

On Monday, January 13, 2025, more than two-thirds of the 40 members of the Lagos Assembly voted to impeach Obasa over allegations of misconduct and other offenses. His deputy, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, was elected as the new Speaker, making her the first woman to lead the legislative body in Lagos state.
