Obasa, a six-term legislator representing Agege Constituency 1, has led the Assembly since 2015. During a recent visit, the Chairman of the Conference, Rt. Hon. Debo Ogundoyin, praised Obasa’s “peerless maturity and exemplary leadership,” which he said have kept Lagos at the forefront of legislative excellence in Nigeria.
The visiting Speakers, who joined Obasa for Iftar, lauded his ability to uphold the Assembly’s motto—*”beyond the common standards of excellence.”* They acknowledged his significant contributions to legislative efficiency and governance.
In his response, Obasa thanked his colleagues for their solidarity and encouraged them to focus on legislative effectiveness and efficiency in their respective states.
“Effective legislation plays an integral role in socio-economic development. Lagos stands out because we combine effectiveness—doing the right things—with efficiency—doing things right,” he said.
The Conference of Speakers, established in 1999, serves as a bipartisan body promoting legislative best practices and inter-parliamentary collaboration across Nigeria. Obasa previously chaired the organisation from 2018 to 2020.
A group, the Imo First Group (IFG) has described the purported Magistrate court order to arrest Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery, as a ruse and fake news
The group stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
IFG challenged those peddling the fake news to make the court order public.
The statement reads ” The fabricated and concocted story was first posted on social media by Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before it was picked up by other media outfits, including Arise TV.
According to the statement, those behind the report claimed that a Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant dated September 9, 2026, following a petition written by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, to the Police and DSS on October 8, 2026, over alleged presentation of fake APC primary results.
The Group debunked the existence of any such order.
“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that no jSenior Magistrate ordered or issued any bench warrant for the arrest of Araraume”
IFG however challenged anyone in possession of the purported court order to publish it.
“If you claim to have a court order present same for the public to see,
“This fabricated bench warrant contain in the report is filled with inconsistencies, the bench warrant was dated September 9, 2026, while the REC’s petition that supposedly triggered it was dated October 8, 2026, with case number CR/M/084/2026.
The statement further stated that the purveyors and harbinger of the fake news tried to trick the magistrate via exparte order but was rebuked
“The magistrate bluntly refused to grant their exparte and threatened to arrest them, yet they carried their falsehood about. What’s the problem of occupants of office that never won free and fair elections and tried to destroy reputable Imo sons that have won elections. We challenge anyone in this macabre surugede dance to show the court order or warrant of arrest. It’s preposterous to blackmail decent Imo sons on the altar of dirty politics.”
