The speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has declared that being able to navigate the hurdles of governorship in Lagos State exceptionally means you can replicate it in Nigeria.
Obasa, who sits on the chairmanship for mobilization of the Southwest and other parts of the country in support of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should the former governor decide to contest the presidential election of 2023, made the assertion when he commissioned a block of six classrooms in Badagry.

The classrooms were built at the Ajara Comprehensive Senior High School by Hon. Setonji David, a lawmaker representing Badagry Constituency 2 at the Lagos State House of Assembly.
‘Let us support our own and be vocal with it; let us support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We will continue to support our leader and we must continue to support our Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu because we have no doubt that he will continue to deliver,’ Obasa said while addressing the gathering.
The Speaker also appealed to the government at all levels to consider prioritizing education in the country.
Obasa, who, for many years has distributed free examination forms to those in his constituency, noted that education is a light that must attract people. He also commended Setonji adding that the latter’s gesture to the people of the area shows that he values education.
‘We should learn from this and contribute our own quota to educational development, it doesn’t matter how little.
‘Let us support our representatives. It is not his duty to do it, but he said that he went around and decided to do this to help the people of the constituency,’ Obasa said.
The Speaker commended members of the House of Assembly and used the opportunity to enlighten guests at the event on the need to allow lawmakers to serve and gain more experience on the job.
