By Akinwale Kasali

Abdulganiyu Vinod Obasa, Son of Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has become the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government following the resignation of Hon. Tunde Azeez, popular as Disco.

Azeez had resigned his position due to prolonged illness that has kept him incapacitated with Abdulganiyu, who was his Vice, attending functions and filling the vacuum in his absence.

Azeez submitted his resignation letter to the Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chapter and copied the Local Government.

Since his swearing-in as the Chairman of the Local Government, he has embarked on medical leave.

Azeez, in the letter read by the Leader of the house, Adeshina Haruna, stepped down from his role as Chairman of Agege Local Government due to persistent health challenges that had significantly impacted his ability to discharge his duties after assuming office.

Obasa’s son was unanimously voted on Wednesday by the lawmakers as the new Chairman of Agege Local Government after Azeez’s resignation letter was read and approved by the Lawmakers during a session in the council.

The Lawmakers argued that the decision to vote Obasa’s son unanimously was due to his contribution to the development of Agege since assuming office and the need to avoid leadership vacuum in the Council.

It would be recalled that there were issues in Agege Local Government  when Abdulganiyu indicated interest in running for the Chairmanahip position in the LG, leading to protest from a section of Agege Residents and Political Stakeholders who said it was impossible for the Father to be the Speaker of the State Assembly, with the Son also given the Chairmanship Ticket.

He stepped down for Azeez who won the Primary and picked him as his Vice Chairman.

Due to the health challenges of Azeez, Abdulganiyu has been running the affairs of the LG.
