And in defiance of the President's order, the 6-term member of the Lagos State House of Assembly is planning a 'coup' to overturn the decision of the President.
This medium learnt that when the President removed the name of Abdul Ganiyu from the Chairmanship list of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, the Speaker was given the opportunity to pick another candidate.
Despite the array of competent and qualified young men to pick from, Obasa went for an ailing Tunde Disco, APC Chairman in Agege Local Government to replace his son.
This medium learnt that Disco has been ill for some time and he was virtually dragged to the Acme Road secretariat of the party this week for filling of nomination form and screening.
The 67 years old man can barely walk as he was supported all through.
Now, Obasa's secret plan has been exposed.
He has planted his son as running mate to Disco while a plan has been put in place for the younger Obasa to take over from Disco who has been programmed to resign when he becomes the Chairman.
This medium learnt that Disco has been informed of the plan and we were told that his resignation letter is even ready for him to sign.
Obasa, is trying to spread his tentacles over Lagos and he seems to be succeeding with his plan.
He is planting Chairmen in local government and LCDAs in the state.
In Agbado-Okeodo LCDA, he has pushed forward a known land grabber, Abiodun Ejigbadero as his annointed candidate.
The Ejigbadero family has a negtiave history when the predominantly Awori people of the council area.
Their patriarch, Jimoh Ejigbadero, was tried, convicted and executed for the murder of a prominent Awori leader in Alimoso, Raji Oba.
The very insensitive Obasa is putting forward the son of the man who murdered a great Awori son to be Chairman of an indigenous Awori council.
