“As religious people, we understand the place of the Divine God in everything that we do. We believe that God gives and takes. We only pray for His mercies at all times.
“As politicians, we also understand the roles we all play for the progress of our state or the nation. Irrespective of our political differences, we are, first, human beings with blood and water inside us.
“As human beings, the least expected of us is to constantly show compassion, have human feelings, and show love to one another.
“It is on these notes that I commiserate with the PDP and its officials both at the national and Lagos state levels over the demise of their colleagues in the state.”

Those on the entourage of the Speaker were Temitope Adewale; chairman committee on transportation, Nureni Akinsanya; chairman committee on physical planning and urban development, as well as Sylvester Ogunkelu, chairman committee on overseas investments.
After the visit, Obasa declared that Tinubu is hale and hearty contrary to some media reports suggesting the former governor was bed-ridden.

Tinubu had undergone knee surgery in London and his aides say he is recuperating.
President Muhammadu Buhari and Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu had also visited Tinubu.
