Lagos Speaker Obasa Rallies Support for APC in Upcoming Local Govt. Elections

Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has called on voters to overwhelmingly back the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the local government elections scheduled for July 12. 

In a statement released to journalists in Lagos on Wednesday, Obasa emphasized the APC’s dedication to grassroots progress and its strong history of delivering democratic benefits to residents. 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) notes that the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission will conduct elections across 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Authorities this Saturday.

He also said that the state would continue to out-perform other states in the country due to election of progressive-minded individuals, who prioritise the welfare of citizens.

“The incoming chairmen and councillors will perform, if given the mandate to serve. At the primaries, we voted for those we trust and believe in.

“We urge Lagos residents to support them. Our party knows how to make life better for the people, and we intend to do even more,” he said.

Obasa also advised the candidates not to rely solely on the party’s popularity but to sustain aggressive campaigns until the election day.

“I want to urge every member of the community, regardless of ethnicity or religion on the need for candidates to directly supervise their campaign teams,” the speaker said.
