Lagos State House of Assembly member Honourable Desmond Elliot has revealed that he defended his role in the impeachment notice against Speaker Mudashiru Obasa directly to Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, telling him it would have been an act of cowardice to walk away from the 37 colleagues who had already signed.
