Adediran stated “We are nurtured to nurture the party. If you call yourself a party stalwart you are expected to do so and show it.

” In Lagos4Lagos, we have no candidate but as an aspect of the party we must do everything to support the party for victory at the 2025 council elections. We ensure that in every Ward we have coordinators to intensify the campaign and they would go from door to door campaign.

” We have here the State, LG and Ward Coordinators for inauguration and they would go back to their wards to inaugurate their members to begin the campaign.

” We also have a 24-man State Coordinators and they know what they have to do and I trust them they would do the job and deliver on the election day”.

She called on voters to come out in enmass to participate in the local government elections, reaffirming that the Council Chairmen would be monitored closely by the party.

” We formed APC together before he decided to pitch his tent elsewhere but now back home. With this, he showed spirit of sportsmanship and resilience to support the candidates. Jandor is a party man and a grassroots mobiliser. Mobilisation must start from the street down to the state level. I pray his effort would not be in vain. This is time for electioneering campaign to win more support and votes for our candidates

Orelope urged the Coordinators to join hands with the party’s grassroots canvassers to intensify the campaign and win more votes for the party.

” I thank Jandor for the support of the 377 Councillors and 57 Chairmen with funds and campaign materials.

” On behalf of our leaders throughout the state particularly the State Chairman. We appreciate alot. Infact, your efforts are recognized throughout the state. We thank you for putting these huge funds into the council campaign”.
