Obasa who was accompanied by multitudes of supporters declared that he had resumed office as Speaker of the Assembly

This is coming about three weeks to his ouster from the office, over what his opponents described as abuse of office.

Obasa stormed the complex in full compliment of security agencies, including the police and the State Security Service, thus fulfilling speculation in some quarters that he would bounce back on account of being in the good books of those who call the shots.
