Lagos Ninth Assembly ends, Lawmakers-elect urge Obasa to Speak again
The ninth session of the Lagos State House of Assembly officially ended last Friday with the returning lawmakers and lawmakers-elect all declaring support for Dr Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the 10th Assembly.
The lawmakers-elect, who were physically present at the sitting, spoke with journalists immediately after the valedictory session of the House presided over by Speaker Obasa.
Speaking on behalf of the returning lawmakers, the immediate past Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, said Speaker Obasa had no rival.
“I give it to the Rt. Hon. Speaker Obasa for being able to coordinate 40 members of different backgrounds, different thinking and religions and even different tribes because we had Hon. Jude Idimogu,” she said.
On what qualifies the Speaker for a return, Meranda said, “Obasa is the best man for the job. The experience, capacity and leadership skills are there and I don’t see anybody matching up to him.”
