img 20231121 wa00085057028666232856690 The Lagos State House of Assembly has received a letter from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu seeking the screening and confirmation of six new nominees for cabinet positions. At a sitting presided over by Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, the Clerk of the House, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, read the letter before the lawmakers quoting the governor as seeking the confirmation of a commissioner-nominee and five nominees in the position of special advisers. However, the letter only named the commissioner-nominee as Mr. Abiodun Ogunleye, while the identities of the nominees for the position of special adviser were not mentioned making the House resolve to write back to the governor for the remaining identities. Dr. Obasa, while agreeing with the lawmakers that names should be attached to the letter, said: "it is necessary for us to know who and who would become part of the cabinet." Reacting earlier, the Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu, observed that the letter did not follow the usual procedure of revealing the identities of the nominees. "Thus, the process of not mentioning the names seems like coming through the backdoor," he said. He was supported by his colleagues, Hon. Ladi Ajomale and Hon. Owolabi Ajani, who noted that the previous lists from the governor had details of the nominees and that this made the screening by the ad-hoc committee easy. "But in this case, it is only the commissioner-nominee that had a name attached to it and this is surprising. Maybe we should also pass information to the governor that the names should be specified," Ajomale said. Meanwhile, the Lagos State House of Assembly has invited the state's procurement agency over reports of alleged spendings by the Offices of the Governor and the Deputy Governor. Dr. Obasa, while noting that the executive arm of government had made efforts to declare the story as untrue, it was necessary for the House to look into the issue so as the establish the facts behind the story. "So we call on the committee in charge of procurement to invite the agency and others mentioned and do a thorough job on this in order to establish facts concerning the publications," the Speaker said.

Announcing the birthday, the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Noheem Adam, noted that since the eighth Assembly when Dr. Obasa first became Speaker, Lagos State has made giant breakthroughs.
According to Adam, Obasa's marks have been noted in the establishment of the Neighbourhood Safety Corps, a state security outfit whose bill was sponsored by the Speaker.
The Majority Leader also mentioned the Cancer Institute Law, the law to promote the use of Yoruba Language and the Anti-kidnapping law of Lagos state describing them as the result of the Speaker's love for Lagos.
While Adedamola Richard Kasunmu, Deputy Majority Leader of the House, noted the roles of the Speaker in the continuous progress of Lagos, saying Obasa's importance cannot be undervalued, his colleague, Hon. Nureni Akinsanya, described the Speaker as a "wonderful person.
"On behalf of my leaders and the people of Mushin Constituency 1, I hereby congratulate him. He is the longest serving Speaker with this third term in office. We will continue to support him to lead us."
On his part, Hon. Femi Saheed said Obasa's hard-work reflects in the respect he earns from his colleagues across the country.
"He is a good teacher and, through him, we have learnt a lot in relation to lawmaking. We can further make him proud when we continue to follow his footsteps," he said.
Calling Obasa a courageous leader, Hon. Abdulkareem Jubreel, who said he had known the Speaker since 1998, added that the third citizen of Lagos always stands by his promises.
"If the Speaker stands with anyone or a cause that can favour the masses, he does not look back," he said.
Hon. Steve Ogundipe, who said he had worked with the Speaker before joining the House as a lawmaker, described Obasa as a leader who constantly strives to build people.
Congratulating Obasa, a lawmaker, Oladele Ajayi, recalled how some people in Agege, during a discussion, said they would continue to support the Speaker for as many times as he wants to vie for a political office.
Summing up the discussion, Deputy Speaker Meranda who congratulated the Speaker, prayed that he would continue to lead the Assembly with wisdom.
