“This is necesssary so that all hands can be on deck to move Lagos State forward as it should be,” he said.

He described the victory of APC as hard-earned but well deseved for the party at the polls.
“It was tough for us all but at the end of the day, a well deserved victory for all members of the party.
“It was a confirmation of the love Lagosians have for our great party and the giant strides we have been achieving in the state,” obasa said.
The speaker also expressed appreciation to Nigerians, particularly Lagos residents, for reposing and renewing their confidence in the APC, not only in the state, but also at the federal level.
He assured that Nigerians won’t regret the renewed mandate given to the APC.
“We have absolute confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari and the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; the Lagos State Governor-elect, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, to deliver good governance.
“Therefore, I want to assure Nigerians, particularly Lagosians, that the APC administration at all levels will continue to put in place programmes and projects that will enhance your welfare and improve your standard of living,” he added.
Obasa said that Sanwo-Olu would take the state to greater heights.
