As political activities gradually build toward the 2027 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State continues to witness strategic realignments and growing interest from prominent party leaders. In a development generating widespread attention, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, is also positioning himself for the APC governorship ticket.

Obasa’s renewed political momentum follows his dramatic return as Speaker after a brief removal, a move widely interpreted as a testament to his political resilience, experience, and deep-rooted influence within the party structure. His reinstatement has further reinforced perceptions of his strong connections with key stakeholders and power brokers across Lagos State.

A ranking lawmaker with years of legislative experience, Obasa has played a central role in shaping policies and ensuring stability within the Lagos State House of Assembly. Political observers note that his growing consultations and strategic engagements signal a readiness to contribute at an even higher level to the governance and development of the state.

As the countdown to 2027 continues, the evolving dynamics within the APC point to a competitive but vibrant internal democratic process. Stakeholders and party faithful are optimistic that the emergence of experienced leaders will further strengthen the party’s dominance and commitment to progressive governance in Lagos State.

With several political heavyweights expected to test their popularity in the months ahead, all eyes remain on how the race unfolds—and the role Speaker Mudashiru Obasa will ultimately play in shaping the future leadership of Lagos State.
