Powerhorse! On The Trail of Lagos Speaker, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and His Three Wives
Mischief makers are up to their antics again, like the village drunk seeking to pawn off the ancestral shrine to purchase a bottle of beer. They are claiming that the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has the deportment of a saint and the agility of a stag. They have labeled him so because the Hon. Speaker has gone ahead to marry a third wife, Idayat, even though Bukola, his second wife, and Fausat, his first wife and mother of his four children, are still very much in the picture. They are basing their claims on alleged marital squabbles and scandals involving the Lagos Speaker and his spouses at the home front.
Friends and loyalists of the Lagos lawmaker, however, substantiate his rebuttal of the malicious rumours claiming they are part of the evil plot of the legislator’s political detractors to malign his good name and unsettle him. A very close source to Obasa revealed that although he recently took a third wife, he married her out of pure love and his love for his first and second wives remains intact too. The source claimed that marriage and its obligations do not prevent Obasa from fulfilling his official duties to the coastal city of Lagos and his beloved loyalists and fans among the electorate.
It can also be recalled that few months ago, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, was accused by evil minded individuals as a man without the gift of language. They claimed Obasa cannot express himself in simple English and that due to his inability to speak English language fluently, he will not be able to manage the affairs of the Lagos State House of Assembly efficiently. On the strength of the rumour, they called to question his claim to be a lawyer.
Despite the unprintable rumours being spread about Obasa, his friends, political associates and other apologists are of the opinion that those spreading malicious and unfounded rumours about the Speaker are simply scared of his rising and intimidating profile on the nation’s political turf. According to them, the future of Lagos is in very safe hands with the likes of Hon. Obasa at the helms of the coastal city’s legislative affairs.
