Eleven years ago, sometime around October, members of the Aba State creation movement paid a courtesy call to the Lagos State House of Assembly. The purpose of their visit was to get the buy-in of the assembly on their agitation for the creation of Aba State from the present Abia in view of the ongoing constitutional amendment.
Even though that opinion was unpopular, it signposts the mindset of the House of Assembly member as a genuine builder of institutions who believes in ingenuity as a precursor for development and that anybody can grow with the right guidance. This was the mindset that built the Emirate of Dubai! At a time when the city of Lagos was thrown into unrelenting attacks from various groups of hoodlums and the Nigeria Police Force was overwhelmed, Rt. Honourable Obasa formulated a community policing structure cleverly whipped to ensure it doesn’t conflict with existing laws that disallow State Police.
Culture remains an indelible identity of any race, many things may give way for civilization but a race that keeps its culture defies extinction. The indigenous language of any given race or ethnic group is the sole connection to the culture of such a group. So when Rt. Honourable Obasa took the bold step to protect the cultural identity of Yorubaland in a mega-city of Lagos which some now categorize as “no man’s land”, the intervention became one of the most selfless by public officeholders.
