Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today, he said:
“I have been following Tinubu since I left secondary school. I have pictures to prove this. During the SDP era, I contested as a delegate. Since then, I have always been one of his disciples, and I will not change tomorrow. I have always been a loyalist. If they are just realizing that now, then they were never part of us from the beginning.”
Denies Rift with Governor Sanwo-Olu
Obasa also dismissed rumors of a political rift between him and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, insisting that he holds deep respect for the governor.
“It is not a sin to have ambition. The governor is my leader and brother, and I have no reason to disrespect him. If I have taken any action that appeared disrespectful, it was never intentional.”
Regarding speculations about his governorship ambitions, Obasa clarified:
“Governorship ambition is not in my consideration. But that doesn’t mean I am not qualified.”
