The PBAT/KOH Campaign Council for Alimosho Federal Constituency has been formally inaugurated, bringing together party leaders, stakeholders and grassroots mobilisers ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
The Council is headed by Hon. Akin Bashiru as Coordinator, with the Executive Chairman of Alimosho Local Government, Hon. Akinpelu Johnson, and APC Party Chairman, Hon. Ibrahim Abiodun, serving as Co-Coordinators.
Also present was Hon. Luqman Orelope, APC candidate for Alimosho Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, who is seeking re-election.
In his welcome address, Hon. Ibrahim Abiodun highlighted the importance of the gathering, stressing unity, effective coordination and grassroots mobilisation.
A major highlight was the presentation of appointment letters. The Honourable Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Hon. Akinyemi Ajigbotafe, presented letters to the LGA Campaign Council members, while Hon. Akinpelu Johnson presented those for the Ward Coordinators and Ward Co-Coordinators.
Addressing the gathering, Hon. Akinpelu Johnson highlighted the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, particularly in infrastructure, economic reforms and national development. He charged Council members to take the message of these achievements to every nook and cranny of Alimosho, reaching every ward, street and community.
He further assured residents that the government would sustain its commitment to infrastructure provision and other developmental initiatives.
In his address, Campaign Coordinator, Hon. Akin Bashiru, charged members to demonstrate unity, discipline and dedication. He stressed that government achievements must be translated into clear, relatable messages that residents could understand and appreciate.
Commending Hon. Akinpelu Johnson and the five LCDA Chairmen for their developmental contributions, Bashiru emphasised that the campaign must go beyond infrastructure to showcase the broader impact of governance at all levels.
He explained that increased financial allocations to local governments, facilitated by Federal Government policies and reforms, had strengthened their capacity to deliver projects and improve grassroots service delivery. He also highlighted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) interventions across Alimosho Federal Constituency as evidence of national development initiatives translating into tangible community benefits.
He stressed that many of the developmental projects and interventions currently being witnessed across Alimosho Federal Constituency would not have been possible without the enabling environment created by Federal Government policies and support.
Bashiru further called for collective commitment towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Lagos State APC Governorship Candidate, H.E. Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, and all the party’s National and State Assembly candidates.
He declared:
“Alimosho is the largest Federal Constituency and a stronghold of the APC. We must justify that status by delivering optimally for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our Governorship Candidate, H.E. Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, and all our National and State Assembly candidates.”
He acknowledged the collaboration of Hon. Akinpelu Johnson, Hon. Ibrahim Abiodun and the five LCDA Chairmen, urging Council members to extend their engagement to markets, streets, community associations, polling units and households.
The newly appointed Council members pledged their commitment to the assignment and readiness to work collectively towards achieving the Council’s objectives.
The inauguration marks an important step in establishing a coordinated campaign structure across Alimosho Federal Constituency ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
