Hon. AbdulGaniyu Vinod Obasa has officially assumed office as the substantive Chairman of Agege Local Government following the resignation of Hon. Tunde Azeez, popularly known as Disco. The 10th Assembly of the Agege Legislative Council, led by Hon. Adeshina Haruna, approved Obasa’s appointment during its plenary session on Tuesday after accepting Azeez’s resignation, which was attributed to health challenges. Azeez explained that his health had hindered his ability to perform effectively, prompting his decision to step down. The councillors commended his dedication and wished him a speedy recovery. Lawmakers described Obasa’s elevation as a key step toward ensuring continuity, stability, and effective governance in Agege. During the same session, the Assembly reviewed its committee structures and oversight duties, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and improved project monitoring across the local government. Reaffirming its commitment to development-focused leadership, the Assembly pledged to continue delivering initiatives that will benefit residents under its renewed administrative structure. Reacting to the leadership change, All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Agege, Rotimi Sulaiman, praised Azeez’s decision as a selfless act. “Hon. Tunde Azeez has been unwell for a while, and stepping down to prioritize his health rather than being burdened by the responsibilities of office is a wise and commendable move,” he said. He also commended the new chairman, adding, “AbdulGaniyu Vinod Obasa is a visionary young man who proved his capacity during Azeez’s absence. Agege is indeed fortunate to have both men serving its people.”
