He made this declaration at the public presentation of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido’s autobiography, “Being True to Myself,” held at the NAF Conference Centre in Abuja.

“Our job is not finished until we are finished.” – Olusegun Obasanjo

The former president’s remarks underscored a sense of urgency and commitment, highlighting the unfinished business of nation-building and the enduring role of experienced leaders in shaping Nigeria’s future.

Lagos APC aspirants dismiss claims linking Speaker Obasa to protests, calling the allegations mischievous and urging party unity
Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has warned against the use of his name to fuel protests or rallies in the aftermath of the House of Assembly primaries. He also frowned upon attempts to link him and scapegoat him for the wave of protests across the state.
On Tuesday, June 9, party members from different local governments, including Badagry, Mushin, Amuwo-Odofin, Eti-Osa, Somolu, Ajeromi, and Oshodi, among others, staged a protest at the APC Secretariat on ACME Road, Ikeja, accusing party leaders of manipulating the outcome of the primaries and demanding transparency.
This was the culmination of several protests that had swept through the state since the Lagos chapter of the party released a list of candidates purported to have won their primary elections.
Consequently, a slew of WhatsApp messages had circulated claiming that Speaker Obasa devoted N2 billion to organise the protests.
In his reaction, Speaker Obasa said, “It is foolhardy, malicious, misleading, and baseless for anybody to assume or imply that I will import or mobilise protesters from different local governments to the secretariat. To achieve what exactly?
“I am not a candidate in the disputed election, so why and how will I devote such an amount of money to organising protests?”
Further, he said, “I am a peace-loving party man, and I abhor the use of my name and office for any form of illegality or to sow division within the party.”
Speaker Obasa reaffirmed, “My steadfast commitment remains the unity, peace, and progress of our great party and the people of Lagos State.”
