No-Man’s Land: Lagos To Make Laws To Protect Indigenes

June 7, 2023 • 2 min read

Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, announced on Tuesday that the state would pass laws to safeguard its indigenes.

On Tuesday, Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, announced that the state would pass legislation to safeguard its indigenes.

The 10th Assembly’s legislative agenda would include laws and resolutions in the areas of economy and commerce, property and titles, and reversal of “all that are reversible to protect the interest of the indigenes,” according to Obasa, who was elected speaker of the assembly for a third consecutive term.

Obasa, who hinted at some of the controversies in the build-up to the 2023 elections, including the argument that non-indigenes wanted to take over the state, declared that Lagos is a Yorùbá land. “Lagos is Yorùbá land as against the assertions of some people that it is a no man’s land.

“Therefore, part of our legislative agenda is to ensure the translation of laws passed by this House to the Yorùbá language.

“We also aim at achieving our collective goals of creating a robust legislative framework that protects the interest of our people.

“Going forward in this wise, we are going to employ all legislative instruments for the support of the indigenes of Lagos.

“There would be laws and resolutions in the areas of economy and commerce, property and titles and we will reverse all that are reversible to protect the interest of the indigenes,” he said in his acceptance speech after he was unanimously elected as speaker of the assembly.
