Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has stated that he never thought he would lead the legislature.
Obasa clarified that he got to where he is now through perseverance, hard work, and God’s promises for his life.
He continued by saying that he never thought he would be the Speaker of the State Assembly when he was a young student in a public school.
Obasa gave a speech at an intervention program designed to help the state’s schoolchildren.
Officials from the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board, or LASUBEB, attended the event, which took place at the assembly complex in Ikeja.
Obasa urged students throughout the state to avoid all social vises and maintain focus, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
He emphasized that if they stay focused, nothing will prevent them from becoming presidents or governors.
Obasa preached against all social vices, including substance abuse and cultism.
“Look at me; as a child sitting in a public school classroom years ago, I never imagined I would head the parliament of Africa’s third-largest economy.
“You too can become the Governor of Lagos State or the President of Nigeria if you stay focused,” Obasa said.
In life, we sometimes find ourselves in places we never imagined we could reach. Such unexpected journeys may come through luck and favour, opening doors to greater heights. Above all, they can be seen as a manifestation of God’s mercy and grace.
