The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly and All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives aspirant for the Agege Constituency, Mudashiru Obasa, has described the Saturday primaries as very peaceful, a sign of strong internal democracy in the party.
Obasa made the remarks shortly after voting at his ward in Agege, at about 1pm, where he was greeted by a mammoth crowd.
Speaking with newsmen, Obasa said, “This is a fantastic exercise and a very good development and a new direction.
“We appreciate the National Chairman of the APC and his team and party leaders in Lagos State.
“Though, we still await a situation report from other wards, but I want to believe it will be peaceful as well.”
Also commenting on aspirants who decided to step down in the course of the exercise, Obasa said, “It’s good for the unity of the party. APC has the characteristics of coming together after every disagreement. This is a pre-election; the main election is coming in 2027.”
“For me, the most important thing is that we have allowed everyone to express themselves in this exercise.”
