Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, has said continuity of President Bola Tinubu’s administration beyond 2027 is essential to consolidating the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Obasa, a third-term speaker, made the remarks on Saturday during an interfaith prayer in Ikeja organised to commemorate President Tinubu’s 74th birthday by the Mandate Movement (TMM).
The speaker, representing Agege-01, said that the President’s policies and reforms had begun reshaping Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape, noting that his achievements, particularly in economic growth, position him strongly for a second term.
Describing Tinubu as a pragmatic and visionary leader, Obasa said his administration’s policies and reforms were already reshaping Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape.
He highlighted key initiatives such as the removal of fuel subsidy, which he said had increased revenues for states, and the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFund), which he described as a “game-changer” for access to higher education.
The speaker also cited the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as one of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, with the potential to boost economic growth and tourism.
He commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her Renewed Hope Initiative, noting its impact through food distribution, agricultural support for women, economic empowerment programmes, and digital learning centres.
Obasa further called on Nigerians to support and re-elect President Tinubu, alongside all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the 2027 General Elections.
Former Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, also praised Tinubu’s leadership and legacy, urging Nigerians to rally behind his re-election bid.
“President Tinubu’s commitment to Nigeria’s progress is commendable, and it is our collective duty to support him so that the nation can fully reap the benefits of his reforms,” Ambode said.
He added that the President had stabilised the country and its economy, expressing confidence that Nigeria would continue to prosper under his administration.
The Chief of Staff to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Mr Tayo Ayinde, also lauded Tinubu’s efforts in repositioning the economy and called for sustained support to enable him continue beyond 2027.
He prayed for wisdom and good health for the President to effectively steer the affairs of the nation.
Also, Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy, Mr Stephen Ogundipe (Oshodi/Isolo 1), also urged Nigerians to celebrate the President’s achievements and support his economic reforms.
The event was attended by political leaders, stakeholders, party faithful, community leaders, clerics, and supporters of the APC from across Lagos State.
