The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Obasa secured the party’s ticket unopposed during the APC primary election conducted across the 13 political wards within the constituency. His emergence followed what party officials described as a unanimous endorsement by delegates, party executives and grassroots members who participated in the exercise.
The primary election, held amid tight security and widespread participation, was reportedly peaceful and orderly, attracting a significant turnout of party faithful, political stakeholders and supporters from different parts of the constituency.
Party leaders present during the exercise stated that Obasa’s emergence reflected the confidence reposed in his leadership abilities, political experience and contributions to the development of Agege and Lagos State over the years.
According to APC officials, the endorsement of the Speaker was based on his track record in public service and his influence within the party structure in Lagos State.
Supporters at the venue described the outcome of the primary election as a victory for continuity, experience and progressive leadership. Many expressed optimism that Obasa’s transition from the Lagos State House of Assembly to the National Assembly would further strengthen representation for the people of Agege Federal Constituency.
Speaking after the exercise, party members praised Obasa’s years of legislative experience, noting that his understanding of governance and policymaking would be beneficial at the federal level.
Mudashiru Obasa has remained one of the most influential political figures in Lagos State politics. Having served multiple terms in the Lagos State House of Assembly, he rose through the ranks to become Speaker, a position he has occupied for several years.
During his tenure as Speaker, he has played a prominent role in legislative activities within the state and has been associated with several policies and initiatives aimed at improving governance and infrastructural development.
Political observers believe his emergence as the APC candidate could further strengthen the party’s dominance in Agege Federal Constituency, which has historically remained one of the strongholds of the ruling party in Lagos State.
Analysts also note that Obasa’s candidacy may reshape political calculations within the constituency, especially given his extensive political network and longstanding influence among party members and grassroots supporters.
Following the announcement of his victory, celebrations reportedly broke out across parts of Agege, with supporters chanting slogans and praising the Speaker’s contributions to community development and party growth.
Many residents and party loyalists described his emergence as recognition of his commitment to the constituency and his role in advancing the political and economic interests of Lagos State.
