Lagos APC Begins Governorship, Assembly Campaign, Targets Grassroots Mobilisation

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced its campaign for the governorship and House of Assembly elections, with the party leadership directing its structures across the state to intensify grassroots mobilisation.

In a statement signed by Ayaba Omobola Akingbehin, Senior Special Assistant (SSA), Media and Publicity to the Lagos State APC Chairman, the party said the campaign marked a new phase in its preparations for the forthcoming elections.

The campaign, formally launched under the leadership of the state chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, is expected to take the APC’s message to voters across the state’s 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas.

Ojelabi said the party would centre its campaign on continuity, consolidation, renewed progress and victory, while highlighting its record in government and plans for the future of Lagos.

He said the APC was entering the campaign with a strong grassroots structure and a clear understanding of the importance of the elections to the continued development of the state.

According to him, the election presents Lagosians with an opportunity to sustain the state’s current trajectory of development and progress.

Ojelabi also underscored the political legacy of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying his leadership and progressive political tradition had played a defining role in the evolution of Lagos politics and governance.

He said the party would engage communities, wards, local governments, traditional institutions, professional groups, women and youth organisations, market associations and other stakeholders as part of its mobilisation strategy.

“From Alimosho to Epe, Badagry to Ikorodu, and Lagos Island to Ikeja, our mobilisation machinery will be fully activated to ensure that our message reaches every segment of Lagos,” he said.

The chairman urged party leaders and members to close ranks and intensify grassroots mobilisation, stressing that the APC was determined to secure a decisive victory at the polls.

“We are not campaigning merely to participate. We are campaigning to win and continue the work of building a stronger and more prosperous Lagos,” Ojelabi said.

He called on party members and supporters to remain united, disciplined and focused throughout the campaign, noting that every ward, community and vote would be important to the outcome of the elections.

Ojelabi further assured Lagosians that the campaign would be issue-driven and focused on the aspirations of the people, while respecting democratic values, the electoral process and relevant laws.

He called on Lagosians who believe in continuity, stability, development and progressive governance to support the APC as it seeks a renewed mandate to lead the state.

Reiterating the party’s determination to win the elections, he declared: “The work must continue. The gains must be protected. The mandate must be renewed.”
