Says we’re proud of Obasa’s leadership
Deputy Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly (LSHA), Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, has described the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon Mudashiru Obasa’s leadership as excellent and worthy of emulation.
Meranda made the remarks during the unveiling of a book ‘The Man Called Obasa’ written by a member of the House, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu, in honour of Obasa who clocked 51.
A statement by Kasunmu’s media office quoted her as saying that Obasa has contributed immensely to the development of Lagos State through legislation that continues to stand the test of time and put the state on a greater pedestal.
“He is a wonderful man, a mentor and lover of new ideas, friend to all and father to all. He started the annual town hall meetings, which we do simultaneously across the 40 constituencies, compiling the thoughts and ideas to help Lagos State.
“The Yoruba Language preservation law is really working for us and it is now being replicated in other states.”
Meranda said, adding that the Neighbourhood Safety Corps, which was initiated by the Speaker, has been replicated in the form of Amotekun in South West and other parts of the country.
In her remarks, a former Deputy Speaker of the Lagos Assembly, Mrs. Funmilayo Tejuosho, said Obasa’s path to a more impactful lifestyle started in 2003 when he was first elected as a member of the parliament at the state level.
