Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives. Obasa secured the party's ticket unopposed during the primary election held on May 16, 2026, in Agege, Lagos State.
The primary election, which was conducted by the APC electoral committee, saw Obasa as the sole aspirant, leading to his automatic nomination. In his acceptance speech, Obasa thanked party leaders and delegates for their support, promising to represent the constituency effectively if elected in the general election.
Obasa, who has been Speaker of the Lagos Assembly since 2015, is seeking to move to the National Assembly. His candidacy is seen as a strategic move within the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
