Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa on Sunday in Lagos advised Nigerians to remain united and show love to one another so that the country would come out victorious against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Obasa gave the advice in his goodwill message to Christians to mark this year’s Easter celebration amid the challenge of a spreading virus that had kept some states, including Lagos, on lockdown.
The Speaker, who is also the chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures, said where unity exists, the people will show obedience to law, order and every other directives aimed at resolving the pandemic.
Obasa hailed the Executive arm of the government headed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his leadership roles and perfect steps it had taken since the COVID-19 hit the state.
“The state government deserves massive encouragement from residents at this trying time when courage is needed to tackle the spread of the virus.
“That was why members of the House of Assembly, in the wake of COVID-19, met and passed a bill granting more powers to the governor in the face of the efforts to tackle the virus.
“The bill also stipulates the roles the residents are expected to play if we all agree that COVID-19 must be eradicated in Lagos, the state that is known to be a mini-Nigeria.
