No More Rumors! Obasa Reveals Truth About His 2027 Political Plans

Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, has debunked claims that he openly declared his next political ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The clarification followed reports suggesting that Obasa had hinted at contesting either for governorship or a senatorial seat during his appearance on TVC’s Beyond the Headlines.

Addressing the issue, the Speaker maintained that his words were misinterpreted.

He said:
“As a politician, you must allow the hierarchy of the party to decide where they want you to serve — whether as a lawmaker, governor, or senator. People should not be misled or attempt to misrepresent the party’s plans.”

Obasa urged his supporters and the public to remain calm, noting that his current focus is the collective progress of Nigeria.

“Our main concern is how to move the country forward. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is making remarkable progress each day,” he stated.

While clarifying that he has no plans to quit politics, Obasa added that he is also conscious of life beyond public office.

“Nigeria is our home, our party is our strength, and we in the APC are one family. The APC grows stronger every day. Life after politics matters too, and we must prepare for it,” he noted.

Speaking further, the Speaker stressed that political aspirations must always align with party structures.

“When it comes to politics, you must belong to a party and respect its leadership. Ambition is one thing, but decisions must flow through the party’s structures and management,” he explained.

According to him, party leaders will eventually determine the roles for members as 2027 approaches.

“The leadership will decide who goes where. Whether as Speaker, Deputy Governor, Governor, or Senator, it all comes down to consultation and alignment with party leadership. As individuals, we must follow the process,” Obasa concluded.
