Obasa made the appeal on Wednesday while hosting constituents and party executives at his constituency office in Agege as part of efforts to galvanise participation in the ongoing registration exercise.

The Speaker, who has represented Agege Constituency I since 2003, commended residents for their loyalty and enthusiasm, saying their involvement was critical to the APC’s stability and electoral future.

“The e-registration exercise is crucial to strengthening the party and ensuring its cohesion and credibility.

We must register now and encourage more people to do so because it empowers us to build a more inclusive and formidable platform ahead of future elections,” Obasa said.

He urged councillors and other elected officials to maintain regular engagement with Community Development Associations, landlord associations, religious leaders, market women and trade groups, describing them as essential channels for understanding community needs and communicating government interventions.

“We should not wait until election time before seeing our elected officials. Constant engagement will help us to know where the shoe pinches the people, and then we will be able to provide responsive leadership,” he said.

Obasa added that sustained dialogue with residents would foster trust, identify emerging challenges early and promote peaceful coexistence across communities.

“Continuous interactions and engagements will foster harmonious coexistence, identify pressing issues early and build mutual trust, creating an environment where people feel heard, valued and involved in decision-making,” he said.

The Speaker also advised councillors to remain in close contact with party leaders and ward executives as part of their political development and contribution to party growth.

Addressing supporters, Obasa reaffirmed his commitment to ongoing engagement, pledging to sustain consultations with constituents and party stakeholders.
