Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has declared his intention to contest for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives ahead of the forthcoming primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Obasa announced his decision on Tuesday during a stakeholders’ meeting held in Agege, Lagos, stating that leaders of the APC in the area had encouraged him to join the race for the federal legislative position.
During the gathering, the Speaker also appealed to party members and stakeholders to support the aspiration of former Chairman of Agege Local Government Council, Ganiyu Egunjobi, who is seeking to represent Agege Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
He further endorsed Azeez Oladapo Yusuf Ninolowo for the Agege Constituency II seat in the state assembly.
The development is expected to heighten political activities within Agege as aspirants continue consultations and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the APC primaries.
Supporters and party loyalists across Agege and Orile-Agege have also intensified efforts to mobilise delegates and residents as the contest for party tickets gathers momentum.
Meanwhile, APC members in Agege, Orile-Agege and other parts of Lagos State are awaiting the outcome of the ongoing screening exercise being conducted by the state and national leadership of the party ahead of the primaries.
