The inauguration, held in Badagry on Friday, was attended by the three council chairmen in Badagry Division, state and federal lawmakers, All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates, traditional and religious leaders, community leaders and youths.

Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Lagos APC governorship candidate, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, James-Sonayon assured residents that the promises contained in Hamzat’s The Lagos Promise manifesto would be fulfilled if elected.
She said the proposed administration would ensure that all communities feel the impact of good governance through inclusive policies and effective service delivery.
James-Sonayon also promised that a Hamzat-led administration would decentralise public services and regularly organise town hall meetings to obtain direct feedback from residents.
She urged the unit coordinators to intensify grassroots campaigns and mobilisation while calling on party members to remain united ahead of the 2027 elections.
In his remarks, Ayinde charged the unit coordinators to maintain effective communication with their respective communities and deepen grassroots mobilisation as the elections approach.
