Rhodes-Vivour Slams Lagos Speaker Obasa Over Proposed Bill
The Labour Party (LP) flag-bearer in Lagos for the 2023 election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has described a statement credited to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, that the Assembly will make laws to protect the property right of indigenes, as dangerous to the economic growth of the State.
Obasa, on Tuesday, June 6, was returned as the Speaker of the House for the third term.
While giving his acceptance speech, Obasa reportedly declared Lagos as a Yoruba land, saying lawmakers will go to any length to protect the state indigenes even if it means reversing existing laws.
But reacting, Rhodes-Vivour said; “The proposed bill undermines the principle of private ownership and could severely affect investment, economic growth, and overall prosperity in Lagos”.
He added; “By considering such legislation, the Speaker is sending a damaging message to local and international investors, discouraging their participation and confidence in the state’s economy”.
