Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has declared his intention to contest the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 elections.
Obasa, a sixth-term lawmaker representing Agege Constituency I, has been a member of the state legislature since 2003.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday in Agege ahead of the All Progressives Congress primaries, Obasa said consultations influenced his decision to join the race. He said party leaders in his constituency encouraged him to contest for the federal seat.
“I answered the call of our leaders and stakeholders who believe I can serve Agege better,” he said.
He urged APC members to embrace unity and remain committed as the party prepares for its primaries. Obasa also appealed for support for Ganiyu Egunjobi, former chairman of Agege LGA, who intends to represent Agege Constituency I in the Lagos Assembly.
“Egunjobi has served our people diligently and deserves the support of all loyal party members,” the speaker said.
Obasa further canvassed support for Azeez Ninolowo, an aspirant for Agege Constituency II. He noted that the constituency needs experienced and dedicated representatives who understand the challenges facing residents.
“We must present candidates with capacity, loyalty, and commitment to the progress of Agege,” he added.
