The Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Mudashiru
Obasa, has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to run for the
sixth term in the 2023 Lagos State House of Assembly Election.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Obasa, representing
Agege State Constituency 01, contested against another aspirant, Mr Dada
Olusegun, at the primaries held on Friday at Maternity Centre, Iloro, Agege.
Twenty-five delegates voted with five delegates representing
each of the five wards in Agege Local Government.
Mr Yinka Durosinmi, the party’s Electoral Officer, who
announced the result, said Obasa secured 25 votes to emerge the winner of the
election.
Durosinmi said five delegates represented the five wards in
the local government to make the 25 delegates who voted.
“Twenty-five of them were accredited before voting and we
ensured that the voting exercise was conducted peacefully.
“Though we had two candidates, Mudashiru Obasa and Dada
Olusegun, we only saw one agent representing Obasa. The other aspirant did not
show up,” he said.
On his part, Obasa, while addressing newsmen after the
exercise, described the victory as proof of acceptance by his constituents.
He said he won the primary election because of the belief
the constituents had in him as their true and passionate representative.
” I thank the constituents for the trust they have in me, as
I am confident that I will win in the main election.
“Through this victory, we can continue with the dividends of
democracy we have attracted to Agege,” he said. (NAN)
