Mudashiru Obasa was removed from office by his fellow lawmakers and replaced by Mojisola Lasbat Miranda.

While some have claimed that the governor had a role in orchestrating Obasa’s ouster due to an alleged strained relationship between the two, Sanwo-Olu has refuted these allegations, stating that the impeachment was a purely legislative matter.

“There is absolutely nothing true about that” (I was part of the impeachment)”. “I mean, no, the Governor does not have a hand in it. It was purely a legislative matter,” Akosile said.

“The Governor is busy with serious matters, busy with taking care of the over 20 million Lagos population.

“What happened in the Hallowed Chamber of the House of Assembly was purely the prerogative of the legislators.
