In a significant move within Lagos politics, candidates backed by Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, have clinched the APC assembly tickets for Agege Constituencies I and II. Ganiyu Egunjobi and Azeez Ninalowo emerged victorious in the primaries, solidifying Obasa's influence as he prepares for the upcoming elections.
This outcome reflects a strategic alignment within the party as it gears up for a competitive electoral season. Obasa, who has been a prominent figure in the APC, emphasized the importance of unity among party members, stating, “Our focus is to ensure that we maintain our strength and deliver on our promises to the people.” The primaries also signify a possible consolidation of power for Obasa, who aims to leverage his support for these candidates to enhance governance in the region.
As Lagos braces for the elections, the dynamics within the APC could shape the political landscape significantly. With strong backing and a clear agenda, Egunjobi and Ninalowo may not only influence their constituencies but also set the tone for future party strategies in Lagos.
