Saheed Balogun, others back Tinubu, Speaker Obasa says every vote important

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has said every vote is important to the All Progressives Congress.

He urged Nollywood actors, producers and others to ensure victory for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, in the 2023 election.

Obasa stated this during a visit by the Progressive Coalition of Entertainers, led by popular actor, Saheed Balogun, at the Assembly complex late Thursday.

The Speaker said, “Our task is to involve people, enlighten them and make them see reasons why they should continue, particularly here in Lagos, to support the APC. They have always supported APC and we want them to continue.

“To us, every vote is an investment because every single vote counts.”

The Speaker advised the group not to take to social media violence, but instead embrace dialogue, truthful analysis and explanations in the course of the members’ activities.

He described social media as a platform to meet and intimate the youth on the workings of government, which some may not be aware of.

“For example, while some young people on social media decry unavailability of sufficient school chairs in primary schools, the government already projected for enough chairs for anticipated school children and is overwhelmed with the influx of more people to Lagos State, a number that can never be determined,” he said.

Speaking earlier, Balogun said the group of over 60 celebrities decided to come together to endorse and preach Tinubu to the people because of how he turned Lagos into a smart city.
