Speaking at the annual Obasa Youth Crusade held in the Agege Local Government Area of the State on Sunday, the lawmaker said that he is not too young to become next governor, but currently focusing on good governance.
He affirmed his commitment to following the directives and progress of the All Progressives Congress.
Obasa also noted that adherence to party’s decisions was more critical than personal political ambitions.
He said: “Though I am not too young to become the governor of Lagos State, I want to emphasize that our focus must remain on the progress of the party rather than individual aspirations.
“We will continue our work, especially concerning party mandates. This is not about personal ambition or a desire to become the governor.
“Our main objective is to build the party, support it at the grassroots, and ensure that it flourishes across the state. For those who think our actions are driven by self-interest, we need to correct that perception.
“We all witnessed the challenges of the last election, where voting patterns were influenced by tribal, ethnic, and religious sentiments,” he noted. “It is essential that we prevent a repeat of this.
“Many reasons have been attributed to the party’s performance in the first election, particularly pointing to the Igbo community.
“However, this was not the first time we’ve had elections in Lagos. The Igbo have long been part of the state, so we must identify and address any underlying issues.”
