Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa declares that he will contest for the Agege House of Representatives seat ahead of the forthcoming All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries. Both reports state that Obasa, who serves as speaker of the Lagos Assembly, announces his intention to seek the federal seat representing Agege Federal Constituency.

The accounts describe his decision as being tied to the APC’s internal selection process, indicating that his move is directed at winning the party’s ticket at the primary election stage. One report adds that party leaders have encouraged him in making the declaration.

Both outlets present the announcement as a formal declaration of interest rather than an election result, and they frame it in the context of the coming APC primaries. No additional details are provided in the shared excerpts about the campaign platform, whether he faces other declared contenders, or the specific timelines of the primaries.
