Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Twenty-five delegates voted with five delegates representing each of the five wards in Agege Local Government.<\/p>\n

Mr Yinka Durosinmi, the party\u2019s Electoral Officer, who announced the result, said Obasa secured 25 votes to emerge the winner of the election.<\/p>\n

Durosinmi said five delegates represented the five wards in the local government to make the 25 delegates who voted.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty-five of them were accredited before voting and we ensured that the voting exercise was conducted peacefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough we had two candidates, Mudashiru Obasa and Dada Olusegun, we only saw one agent representing Obasa. The other aspirant did not show up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his part, Obasa, while addressing newsmen after the exercise, described the victory as proof of acceptance by his constituents.<\/p>\n

He said he won the primary election because of the belief the constituents had in him as their true and passionate representative.<\/p>\n

\u201d I thank the constituents for the trust they have in me, as I am confident that I will win in the main election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this victory, we can continue with the dividends of democracy we have attracted to Agege,\u201d he said. (NAN)<\/p>\n
