Lagos speaker’s son, Abdul-Ganiyu Obasa, confirmed as Agege council chairman

Abdul-Ganiyu Obasa, the son of Mudashiru Obasa, speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, has been confirmed as substantive chairman of Agege LG.

Obasa’s confirmation follows the resignation of Tunde Azeez, the former chairman, who had been on medical leave shortly after he was inaugurated on July 27, 2025.

Azeex formally stepped down on Wednesday over persistent health challenges.

His resignation letter was read by Adeshina Haruna, leader of the house, during the plenary at the Agege council chamber.

Lawmakers unanimously voted to confirm Obasa, who had been acting in the role, as substantive chairman.
