1. Failed UAE Trip: An attempt to visit the United Arab Emirates to seek an audience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was unsuccessful, as clearance was reportedly denied.
2. Hopes for Soft Landing: Obasa is reportedly praying for a reprieve from the EFCC and ICPC investigations and seeking a political compromise. Meanwhile, operatives stationed at the airport await his return.
3. Personal Retreat: After abandoning his mistress and associates in Atlanta, USA, he diverted to the UAE but has since retreated to Texas.
4. Legal Reality Check: His legal consultant has advised that his impeachment is constitutionally valid. Obasa has been urged to accept the House’s decision and issue a public statement acknowledging the development.
5. Failed Mobilisation: Efforts to rally constituents and party members in Agege for a protest were futile. Critics within the constituency remarked, “We warned him repeatedly, but he never listened. He was a selfish emperor while in power.”
6. Civil Society Reaction: Advocacy groups have distanced themselves from Obasa, stating, “He never engaged nor respected us while in power. His impeachment is strictly an internal matter of the Lagos State House of Assembly.”
7. NBA’s Stance: Members of the Nigerian Bar Association have declared Obasa’s impeachment valid and constitutional, reiterating that he is not a member of their association.
8. Call for Resignations: APC members in Agege allege that certain state cabinet members from the federal constituency were part of Obasa’s enforcement team and are calling for their resignations.
9. Political Fallout: APC members have withdrawn support from Obasa’s 2027 gubernatorial aspiration under the banner of “The Mudashiru Movement – Muda Eko Obasa Lagos 2027.”
10. Asset Investigations: The Agege Peoples Front is reportedly compiling a dossier on Obasa’s properties in the constituency to submit to the EFCC.
This unfolding saga continues to draw local and national attention as Obasa faces mounting political and legal challenges.
