The gathering comes few days to the Abuja meeting of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures in Nigeria where a national chairman is billed to emerge.
State Speakers at the meeting hosted by Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, include Rt. Hon. Taiwo Oluomo of Ogun, Adebo Ogundoyin of Oyo, Adeoye Aribasoye of Ekiti, Adewale Egbedun of Osun and Olamide Oladiji of Ondo.
The Speakers held a closed-door session after which Dr. Obasa told journalists that different issues relating to the growth and progress of Southwest were discussed.
"We looked at the progress of the legislature in the Southwest. Let me remind you that during the last Assembly, we all adopted a single Business Rules and Standing Order, which we have reviewed at this meeting.
"We also discussed the coming election of the Conference of Speakers. We deliberated on that because we have to be there with one voice. We have two Speakers, Ogun and Oyo, running for the position. So we have to harmonise our position before we go for the election.
"We also discussed the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) as it relates to the economic progress and development of Southwest. I am happy to tell you we made tremendous progress in our discussion and we have concluded that we will meet again to continue our deliberation. But in all, we have discussed in the interest of the Southwest," Dr. Obasa said.
Confirming discussions at the meeting, Rt. Hon. Aribasoye, said: "We met to discuss the Southwest, the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria, the coming election, the security of our zone, and the need for cross-fertilisation of ideas among the legislatures in the Southwest."
Earlier, while being received at the legislative chamber of the Lagos Assembly, the Speakers told the State lawmakers that their visit had opened their eyes to further directions they needed to take for the progress of their individual states.
They commended the Lagos lawmakers for standing firm in their support for democracy, true governance and the leadership of Speaker Obasa noting that their activities have helped to sustain a virile legislative arm in the State.
"What we have seen at the Lagos State House of Assembly will guide us going foward, Rt. Hon. Aribasoye said while describing Lagos as a true 'Centre of Excellence' and thanking Dr. Obasa for being a worthy leader to Southwest Speakers.
Rt. Hon. Oladiji, who said it was his first time visiting the Lagos Assembly, described what he had seen as a true reflection of why the State continues to make legislative progress under Speaker Obasa.
Stressing that the Southwest remains the leading democratic light in Nigeria, Rt. Hon. Egbedun added: "I want to use this opportunity to tell you that Speaker Obasa is our leader."
On his part, Rt. Hon. Oluomo commended the Lagos lawmakers for standing with Obasa, who he described as making history for being the longest serving Speaker in Nigeria.
Further addressing the Lagos lawmakers, Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin thanked Dr. Obasa for always helping the Southwest Speakers with his knowledge and experience.
In his response, Dr. Obasa described his colleagues at the Lagos Assembly as dedicated, loyal to positive causes and passionate for the progress of the legislature and the State.

998jjjj8164555465718868823 Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, the esteemed founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has revealed ambitious plans for the upcoming Christ Compassion Crusade, scheduled to take place from the 6th to the 11th of November 2023 in Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA of Ikorodu.
During a recent broadcast on his Kicconline channel's "Morning Glow" program, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo shared heartwarming updates on the preparations for the crusade, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to bringing hope and support to the rural world.
The Christ Compassion Crusade's preparations have been nothing short of remarkable. The dedicated team behind the event has already secured a significant quantity of essential supplies, including one thousand bags of Garri, 30 thousand bags of soaps, 24 thousand printed exercise books, 10 thousand buckets, 10 thousand bags of salt, 10 thousand bags of sugar, and two solid generators, one of which is a 350kVA powerhouse. In addition to these tangible resources, Pastor Matthew emphasized the importance of collaboration and spiritual guidance. The crusade team has convened with 320 pastors on the ground to ensure the event's effectiveness, highlighting the spirit of unity and purpose.
Healthcare is a prominent component of the Christ Compassion Crusade. The medical outreach aims to serve over 30 thousand people, with plans to provide 10 thousand deworming tablets for children. Furthermore, free surgeries will be conducted at the Ikorodu General Hospital, benefiting over 200 individuals. Quick tests for malaria, diabetes, and blood pressure, along with eye and dental care, will also be available.
To facilitate the event's logistics, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo announced that 15 buses will be rented throughout the week. This effort alone is expected to cost £1,500. He called upon individuals led by the Holy Spirit to contribute their financial resources to support this noble cause. Pastor Matthew concluded his address with a powerful declaration, stating that Ikorodu has generously provided the land for the event. During the week-long program, he anticipates that "the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and the hand of God will be stretched across Ikorodu division," promising to expose and eliminate the powers of darkness.
The Christ Compassion Crusade is a non-denominational initiative that transcends boundaries, emphasizing community support. Among the extensive aid planned are 50 thousand bags of rice, 50 thousand bags of beans, 10 thousand bottles of cooking oil, 25 thousand schoolbooks, 25 thousand quality children's clothing, 15 thousand colourful Ankara materials, and 5 thousand reading glasses.
