Speaking to journalists over the weekend in Lagos, the spokesperson of the group, Pius Babaleye, emphasised the importance of grassroots leadership and urged voters to reaffirm their confidence in the APC’s development agenda.

“This election is not just about council chairmen and councillors; it is about ensuring continuity of good governance from the grassroots up. We urge all well-meaning Lagosians to troop out on July 12 and cast their votes massively for APC candidates who have the vision to transform our communities,” Babaleye said.

He also used the opportunity to drum up support for the political comeback of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, calling on Lagosians to rally behind his return bid ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election.

Babaleye noted that Ambode’s visionary leadership and infrastructural strides remained unmatched and that it was time to bring him back to consolidate on the foundation he laid.

“Ambode’s visionary leadership and infrastructural strides remain unmatched. It is time to bring him back to consolidate on the foundation he laid. 2027 is our chance to restore purposeful leadership in Lagos,” he added.
