political support group that endorsed him.

the 2027 presidential election less than six months away, SWAGA said it is
ready to engage in an effective and massive re-election campaign for the
President.

Local Government (LG), and Local Council Development Area (LCDA) structures
will take place at the Eko FM Multi-Purpose Hall, LTV Compound, Coca-Cola Bus
Stop, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja.
According
