• From V.I to Agege, Lagos Speaker embarks on property acquisition drive
It is often said that youth is the season of credulity but in his youth, Mudashiru Obasa reforms naiveté into the wisdom of the ancients. The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly understands that experience is the name foolish people give their mistakes hence he set out to evade such mortal blunders very early in his life.
Obasa understands that true wisdom emanates not from a moment’s eloquence nor from any happily chosen word, but from the accumulation of a lifetime’s thoughts stored up in the eyes and given life in well thought out actions. Such priceless sagacity has been responsible for his rapid rise in the coastal city’s political and socioeconomic arena.
Today, Obasa, who is in his early 40s, matches his political success story with extraordinary exploits in the socioeconomic sector. As you read, he is acquiring choice property across Lagos; from Lagos island to mainland, Obasa is buying up property including land and houses in every available area.
Obasa’s property acquisition drive no doubt reveals his innate passion to succeed where several of his predecessors and colleagues have failed. He understands that political office and power are temporary perks in the life of a man hence his determination to acquire property and establish a fluorishing business in the real estate sector even before his tenure expires. Obasa obviously dreads slipping into a life of penury soon after he quits his position as Lagos Speaker.
It would be recalled that the representative of Agege constituency 1 at the Lagos state house of assembly, was elected as the Speaker for the eighth session of the assembly amid thunderous ovation by his colleagues.
