He pointed out that Lagos State continues to lead among Nigerian states due to the steady leadership of individuals focused on the well-being of the citizens.
“The incoming chairmen and councillors will perform if given the mandate to serve. At the primaries, we voted for those we trust and believe in.
“We urge Lagos residents to support them. Our party knows how to make life better for the people, and we intend to do even more,” he said.
Earlier on Tuesday, during a strategic meeting at the Assembly complex with APC candidates from the Lagos West Senatorial District, Obasa urged them to step up their efforts through door-to-door campaigns and grassroots mobilization to secure success at the polls.
Demonstrating his support, Obasa made a substantial financial donation to aid the candidates’ campaign activities and assured them of the Assembly’s continued backing both before and after the elections.
Speaking to the group which included chairmanship, vice-chairmanship, and councillorship candidates, Obasa advised them not to depend solely on the party’s popularity, but to maintain vigorous outreach efforts until the last day of the campaign.
“Engage every member of the community, regardless of ethnicity or religion,” he said, stressing the need for candidates to directly supervise their campaign teams.
He further charged them to adopt a service-oriented mindset upon assuming office, stating:
“Your focus should be on serving your constituents with integrity and commitment. You must also uphold democratic values and institutions,” he said.
The Speaker also highlighted Lagos State’s distinctive governance model, noting that it is one of the few states where local government chairmen serve a complete four-year term—an advantage that enables long-term planning and meaningful grassroots development.
