Looking back at the advent of the restart of democracy in 1999, only a few members of the political class have been able to create enduring and all-inclusive political structures like Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa. This particular trait is by no measure a simple matter considering the kind of politics that is usually practiced within our shores.
Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa is a fNigerian lawyer, politician, member of All Progressives Congress and incumbent Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly. To say that he has taken the legislative arm of governance to greater heights in Lagos State would be stating the obvious. Working in harmonious tandem with the executive arm of government ably led by His Excellency Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu of Lagos State, a lot has been achieved in terms of delivering key measurable socioeconomic gains to the people of Lagos State.
He was born in Agege, a town in Lagos State southwestern Nigeria.
He had his primary education at St Thomas Acquinas Pry School, Surulere, Lagos before he proceeded to Archbishop Aggey Memorial Secondary school, Mushin, Ilasamaja, Lagos where he obtained the West Africa School Certificate. He received a bachelor's degree in Law from Lagos State University, Lagos in the year 2006.
In 1999, Rt. Hon. Obasa contested the seat of councilor at Agege Local Government under the Alliance For Democracy party and won, which he served between 1999 and 2002.
He re-contested for his constituency in the 2019 state election and was re-elected as member of the Lagos State house of assembly, becoming the first to be re-elected into office three consecutive times, and a fifth term record! Such a feat is in line with his personality and philosophy of life. As a person who is ready and willing to serve his constituency wholeheartedly it is no surprise that his followers and constituents remain satisfied with his political style and outlook.
In recent times, several online allegations were made against him in respect of some perceived financial improprieties relating to approvals for projects and other expenses but alas and unsurprisingly the allegations were exposed for what they were; a collection of non-truths designed to rubbish the name and reputation of the Honorable Speaker. Without much ado the Hon. Speaker was cleared of the frivolous charges and a vote of confidence passed by his discerning fellow legislative colleagues.
It is therefore fair to say that the future holds a lot of positives for Rt. Hon. Obasa politically and personally. When one is popular and revered within his domain and beyond then such a person is destined for even greater heights. With his calm demeanour and friendly smile, the Rt. Hon. Speaker exudes competence and sincerity which makes it easy for him to gain and retain followers and supporters everywhere he goes.
