Gholahan Yishawu, a lawmaker, says he wants Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Obasa to lead the State's 10th Assembly once again in addition to being re-elected in 2023 in his district.
During a Wednesday interactive session with newsmen in Lagos, Yishawu, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly who represents the Eti-Osa 02 state constituency, made this statement.
The member, who serves as the chairman of the House Committee on Budget and Planning, denied being involved in a scheme to prevent Obasa from taking over as speaker of the house again after the current ninth Assembly.
He said that there was no restriction on the number of terms a speaker might hold, and that the more experience a speaker had, the better his performance would be for the benefit of the audience.
Yishawu claimed that he kept up a positive connection with the speaker and supported his plans to advance the assembly and the state.
“I support his re-election in the 2023 general elections and his leadership skills as a speaker in the next 10th assembly.
“I will continue to support the vision of Mr Speaker to fast-track the success of the House and the development of our dear state,” he said.
The lawmaker advised all members of APC to disregard rumours deliberately instigated to cause misunderstanding among leaders and party members.
He said his primary duty was his legislative responsibilities and activities targeted at improving the lives and welfare of his constituents, which he had been doing.
Yishawu said that the attention of every member of the party should be on preparations for the forthcoming elections.
He said that they must be focused on ensuring victory for Sen. Bola Tinubu in the presidential election.
Yishawu said attention should also be on achieving victory for the APC candidates in the Governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and the House of Assembly elections.
