The official portrait of Mudashiru Obasa has been dramatically removed from the Lagos State House of Assembly’s Chamber.

The removal of Obasa’s portrait follows his impeachment as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Recall that Obasa was impeached on Monday, January 13, 2025, over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.
