Oba Aromolaran hails Ambode, Obasa on leadership experience
The Paramount Ruler of Ijeshaland and the Owa Obokun of Ilesha, His Royal Majesty Dr Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran, has thumbed up for the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for enduring infrastructure development in the state.
The royal father also hailed the Lagos State House of Assembly under the leadership of the Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa for providing the necessary enabling legislative environment for the Governor to operate as well as enacting laws which have contributed to the development and growth of Lagos State and its people.
The monarch who spoke during the conferment of a chieftaincy title on Obasa also commended the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his contributions to the growth of democracy in the country and for being the architect of modern Lagos.
“There’s no doubt that Lagos has witnessed monumental development and growth under Ambode. I’m very impressed with the Governor’s performance. Equally commendable is the performance of the state House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Obasa. The House has not only provided the needed enabling legislative environment for the Governor to operate, it has also enacted people-oriented laws which have contributed to the development and growth of Lagos and its people,” the monarch said.
“Asiwaju Tinubu has contributed and still contributing immensely to democracy in Nigeria as well as the enthronement of Rule of Law in the country,” Oba Aromolaran stated.
The traditional ruler praised the Lagos Assembly, under Obasa for its effort at preserving the Yoruba culture and values. “It is an open secret, therefore, that the Lagos State House of Assembly under the leadership of Obasa has continued to attain greater heights,” HRM Aromolaran said.
Responding, Obasa assured the monarch that the Ambode administration will not relent in working for the enhancement and progress of Lagosians while the House of Assembly will not relent in providing the enabling legislative environment for the Governor.
“Our common goal is the development and growth of Lagos and its people,” Obasa stated.
The Lagos chief lawmaker thanked the monarch for honouring him and assured him of his support. The Lagos Speaker was honoured with the title of Baamofin of Ijesaland by the Paramount ruler.
