A political group, Agege Youth Vanguard, has purchased a N5m chairmanship nomination form for AbdulGaniyu Obasa, the son of Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa.
The group’s coordinator, Ismael Garba, announced the development at a news conference held Thursday in Agege, Lagos, where he explained that the gesture was a show of support for the younger Obasa ahead of the July 12 local government election.
Garba stated, “Our interest is not about personal gain or to make Agege any political leader’s private fiefdom as may be insinuated in some quarters. We will all agree that the change we desire in Nigeria can only be achieved when the country is in good hands; and key to the development of a nation is its grassroots management.”
