Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, has opened up about his political future, indicating that a governorship bid could be a possibility after his tenure as Speaker. Speaking in an interview with TVC, Obasa stressed that while he harbors personal political ambitions, any decision on his next move would ultimately be determined by his political party. He emphasized the importance of party loyalty, explaining that members must respect the party leadership and participate in collective decision-making regarding future positions.
Obasa’s comments come after he recently survived a brief political upheaval that saw him momentarily removed as Speaker, a development that has fueled speculation about his next steps. When reminded of a statement he made seven years ago about aspiring to become either a senator or governor, Obasa clarified that it was not meant as a firm declaration but did not rule out the possibility of pursuing higher office.
On the question of seeking another term in the Lagos Assembly, Obasa responded vaguely, suggesting that his focus may now be on broader political ambitions. His remarks indicate a careful balancing act: while he is open to higher office, including potentially the governorship, any move will require alignment with party decisions, consultations with party leaders, and adherence to party structures.
