Lagos LG Chairman resigns over health issues, Obasa’s son confirmed as successor

The 10th Assembly of the Agege Legislative Council, led by Hon. Adeshina Haruna, on Tuesday formally accepted the resignation of Hon. Tunde Azeez, popularly known as Disco, from his position as Chairman of Agege Local Government, marking the beginning of a new leadership phase in the council.

Azeez cited health challenges that had affected his ability to perform his duties as the reason for his resignation. The councillors commended his service and wished him a swift recovery.

Following deliberations, the council unanimously confirmed Hon. AbdulGaniyu Vinod Obasa as the substantive Chairman of Agege Local Government. The decision was described as vital for ensuring continuity, stability, and effective governance within the council.

During the plenary session, lawmakers also reviewed the council’s committee system and oversight responsibilities, focusing on improving transparency, accountability, and project monitoring across the local government.

The Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to promoting development-oriented initiatives for the residents of Agege through renewed leadership and enhanced legislative oversight.

Speaking with The Nation, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Agege, Rotimi Sulaiman, praised the transition, describing Azeez’s resignation as a commendable act of wisdom.

“Hon. Tunde Azeez has been ill for some time, and his decision to resign and focus on his health rather than being burdened by the responsibilities of office is a wise and selfless step,” he said.
