2025 LG Polls: Obasa charges APC candidates on ‘Door to Door’ campaign

Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. (Hon) Mudashiru Obasa has met with candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), from the Lagos State West Senatorial District at the assembly complex on Tuesday, ahead of Saturday’s council elections.

He charged them to knock on all doors and campaign vigorously to ensure victory at the polls.

As a show of support, Obasa contributed generously to the candidates’ campaign purses, assuring them of the Assembly’s unstinting support before and after the elections.

At the meeting attended by all the APC chairmen, vice-chairmen, and councillorship candidates,  Obasa urged the candidates not to rest on the party’s laurels but to maintain momentum and outreach efforts until the very last day of campaigning.

“Engage with everyone in the community, regardless of their ethnic background or religion,” he implored, while harping on the necessity for candidates to actively supervise those assigned to manage their campaigns.

The Speaker also admonished the candidates to adopt a mindset centred on service to the people when they assume office, adding, “Your focus should be on serving your constituents with integrity and commitment, and you must have respect for democratic institutions and practices.”

Further, he proudly noted that Lagos remains unique among states in the country, as it grants local government chairmen a four-year tenure per term, allowing for more sustained governance and grassroots development.

The meeting concluded with a palpable sense of urgency and resolve among the APC candidates, as they prepare to take their campaigns to the grassroots, embodying the spirit of service and dedication imparted by Obasa.
