LG Polls: Lagos Speaker Urges Residents To Vote For APC

Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has called on the residents to vote overwhelmingly for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the forthcoming local government elections scheduled for Saturday, July 12, this year.

He said APC remains committed to grassroots development and has a proven track record of delivering for the people.

According to Obasa, the state continues to outperform other states in the country due to the consistent leadership of progressive-minded individuals who prioritise the welfare of citizens.

“The incoming chairmen and councillors will perform if given the mandate to serve. At the primaries, we voted for those we trust and believe in.

“We urge Lagos residents to support them. Our party knows how to make life better for the people, and we intend to do even more,” he said.

Earlier, on Tuesday, during a strategic meeting held at the Assembly complex with APC candidates from the Lagos West Senatorial District, Obasa charged them to intensify their efforts through door-to-door campaigns and grassroots mobilisation to ensure victory at the polls.

Addressing the gathering, which included APC chairmanship, vice-chairmanship, and councillorship candidates, Obasa urged them not to rely solely on the party’s popularity but to sustain aggressive outreach until the final day of campaigning.

“Your focus should be on serving your constituents with integrity and commitment. You must also uphold democratic values and institutions,” he said.

The Speaker further stated that Lagos remains one of the few states where local government chairmen enjoy a full four-year tenure, which gives them an advantage for long-term planning and impactful grassroots development.
