Recall that aside the suspension of the two members, two other principal officers, Olumuyiwa Jimoh and Rotimi Abiru, who were the former Deputy Majority Leader and the Chief Whip respectively, were relieved of their duties.
SaharaReporters had exclusively reported that Obasa suspended the lawmakers to quash allegations of corruption against him. [story_link align="left"]78989[/story_link]
Obasa through companies he owned and directly benefits from had been issuing contracts to himself, an act that is against the public service rule of Nigeria.
SaharaReporters had published a list of companies the Speaker had been using to award contracts to himself and launder public funds.
To avoid it being directly linked to him, Obasa did not use his name to register but used his father, wife and children as shareholders in the company. [story_link align="left"]78999[/story_link]
