Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has said that the assembly will focus on making laws that will protect the interest of the indigenous people of the state.
In his acceptance speech after his re-election as speaker of the house for a record third consecutive time on June 6, the state’s number three citizen said lawmakers would go to any length in protecting the state indigenes even if it meant reversing existing law.
Obasa noted that laws passed by the Lagos assembly would be translated into the Yoruba language.

“Lagos is a Yoruba land as against the assertions of some people that it is a no man’s land. Therefore, part of our legislative agenda is to ensure the translation of laws passed by this House to the Yoruba Language. We also aim at achieving our collective goals of creating a robust legislative framework that protects the interest of our people.
“Going forward in this wise, we are going to employ all legislative instruments for the support of the indigenes of Lagos. There would be laws and resolutions in the areas of economy and commerce, property and titles,” Obasa said.
The comments made by Obasa came in reaction to divisive statements made about Lagos politics in the build-up to the February and March elections.
