The Lagos State House of Assembly has congratulated
President-elect Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu after victories at
the presidential and governorship elections.
The members also felicitated with their running mates
Senator Kashim Shettima and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, as well as the
Lagos Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, who they described as a record breaker after he
was re-elected on March 18 for the sixth time to represent Agege Constituency
1.
In his remarks at plenary on Monday, Obasa told his
colleagues that the election produced some lessons and urged political
scientists “to x-ray the situation”.
“Some sitting governors lost to the opposition. The election has come and gone but there is a need to look again to see what we left undone and what we need to sustain,” Obasa stated, noting that the outcome of elections in the United States, considered a leading democracy, are still being challenged by some candidates.
He advised those “beating drums of war and anger” to accept
the outcome of the 2023 electoral process and channel their grievances through
the courts.
Obasa further urged Nigerians to observe restraint, be more
patriotic and avoid actions that may adversely affect the nation.
“The Muslim-Muslim ticket was a bold one. There are those
who favoured it and those who were against it. The election has happened; it
was good, it was successful,” he said.
The Leader of the House, Sanai Agunbiade, in a motion under
‘Matter of Urgent Public Importance’, said although the general polls are over,
“national healing is necessary.”
Other lawmakers – Yinka Ogundimu, Bisi Yusuff, Setonji
David, Adedamola Kasunmu and Victor Akande – hailed Obasa, saying his leadership
produced a Senator-elect and House of Representatives member-elect.
