Upon his reinstatement, Obasa exuded gratitude and solidarity, saying, “Today is not the day for speech-making but to express appreciation to my colleagues who worked hard to bring us together.” He went on to acknowledge the support from significant party leaders, including Bisi Akande and former Ogun State Governor Olusegun Osoba.
His remarks highlighted a commitment to unity and a collective effort to safeguard the interests of Lagosians. He emphasized that the dynamics of the assembly are mature enough to deal with internal matters constructively, showcasing a robust democratic process in action.
The sentiment among lawmakers and stakeholders is that Obasa’s leadership will foster collaboration and accelerate progress in addressing pertinent issues affecting Lagos. As the assembly gears up for upcoming sessions, constituents are hopeful that the renewed leadership will translate to effective governance and impactful policies.
As Lagos continues to emerge as one of Africa’s most dynamic cities, the leadership within the Lagos State House of Assembly will play a crucial role in navigating the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
