Obasa’s Triumph: A Power Move That Shakes Lagos Politics – APC Stalwart

A senior All Progressives Congress (APC) leader has described Mudashiru Obasa’s reinstatement as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly as a significant political maneuver amid the ongoing power struggle.

Speaking anonymously to Punch, the APC chieftain noted that Obasa’s ability to hold a plenary session signals a shift in his favor.

“Obasa’s return to the Speaker’s seat is a strong political statement. The fact that he convened a plenary session suggests the momentum is now on his side. Additionally, the presence of his full security detail reinforces this reality,” he stated.

The party leader, a known ally of President Bola Tinubu, hinted at the possible dissolution of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), predicting major political casualties as the crisis unfolds.

“This crisis could spell the end of the GAC’s influence. Their failure to resolve the dispute and the President’s need to intervene by appointing a three-man panel from outside Lagos weakens their authority. The GAC has clearly taken sides, and Lagos APC will never be the same again,” he asserted.

Tinubu to Reassess Lagos APC Leadership

The APC leader further revealed that President Tinubu is now taking a more critical look at the political landscape in Lagos, suggesting a potential shake-up in the party’s leadership.

“With these developments, I can confidently say the President will now pay closer attention to Lagos politics. He will start scrutinizing the commitment and loyalty of these so-called leaders, which will significantly influence future political decisions in the state,” he concluded.
