The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Agege Federal Constituency, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, has urged residents to mobilise support for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Obasa made the call on Wednesday while leading an APC mega rally at Amoo Field, Orile Agege, to formally flag off the party’s campaign in the constituency.

Addressing supporters, the Speaker urged them to take the campaign to households, markets, artisan groups, places of worship and community associations.

He said the party should convert its numerical strength in Agege into increased electoral support in the 2027 elections.

Obasa urged supporters to vote for President Bola Tinubu, the APC governorship candidate in Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, Senator Idiat Oluranti Adebule, representing Lagos West, and himself as the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Agege Federal Constituency.

He also called on party members to remain focused during the campaign and not be distracted by criticism, rumours or comments from political opponents.

“There will always be detractors,” he said, urging supporters to maintain their commitment to the party’s campaign.

Obasa also appealed to political actors and their supporters to maintain peace throughout the campaign and election period.

He said the electorate would ultimately decide who represented them, adding that no individual could force a candidate on voters.

The rally was attended by traditional and religious leaders, APC leaders and supporters, representatives of trade associations and artisan groups, as well as leaders of non-Yoruba communities.

The APC chairmen of Agege and Orile-Agege, Alhaji Fatai Bisiriyu and Alaba Alashe, respectively, also urged party members to mobilise support for the party’s candidates.

They listed the candidates as Tinubu, Hamzat, Adebule, Obasa, Gbenga Abiola for Agege Constituency I and Sule Sakiru for Agege Constituency II.

The Chairman of Agege Local Government, AbdulGaniy Obasa, expressed confidence in the party’s candidates, while his counterpart in Orile-Agege, Akinola Abiodun Idowu, pledged continued mobilisation for the APC ahead of the elections.

Obasa charged the campaign structure to sustain its mobilisation efforts among trade associations, artisans, religious groups, traditional institutions and community organisations until election day.
