The Justice Forum, a prominent caucus within the All Progressives Congress (APC), held its General Meeting earlier today in the Alimosho Federal Constituency, showcasing the party\u2019s grassroots mobilization prowess under the leadership of Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.<\/p>\n

The event, which drew an electrifying crowd of over 12,000 at Ebenezer Primary School, Egbeda, underscored the group\u2019s readiness for the forthcoming local government elections and the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

A key highlight of the event was the appeal by Sir Ayo Akinyemi, a respected APC leader and Justice Forum stalwart, who called on the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) to uphold fairness and transparency in the upcoming local government elections.<\/p>\n

The gathering also featured speeches from prominent stakeholders, including Hon. Akin Bashiru, a State Officer of the Justice Forum, who framed the meeting as a pivotal moment for the APC in Alimosho.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event for us is a constituency meeting to showcase our strength as a leading APC group in Alimosho. It\u2019s also an opportunity to reassure our party and Mr. President that Alimosho is ready to lead in mobilizing votes for future victories,\u201d Bashiru declared.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the party\u2019s past performance, Akin Bash, as he\u2019s fondly called, highlighted ongoing efforts to restore Alimosho\u2019s dominance as a political stronghold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened during the last elections was unfortunate, but we are already working round the clock to unify all groups. By the time of the next election, Alimosho will reclaim its position as the political capital it has always been,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n

The leadership of Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, a member of the Lagos State Governor\u2019s Advisory Council (GAC) and a central figure in Alimosho politics, was a recurring theme throughout the meeting.<\/p>\n

Akin Bash praised her trailblazing achievements, noting her historic roles as the first female member of the Lagos State House of Assembly in 1993, a two-term Commissioner, a Deputy Governor, and her current position as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals. \u201cHer leadership has solidified Alimosho\u2019s political relevance in Lagos State,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Addressing perceived divisions within the party, Vice Chairman of Alimosho LGA and Chairmanship aspirant Akinyemi Johnson dismissed such claims as part of the party\u2019s mobilization strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might call it division, but we see it as a mode of mobilizing people into the party. After this meeting, we believe things will take shape, and today, we have shown our strength,\u201d Johnson explained, expressing optimism about the party\u2019s unity moving forward.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lagos State Commissioner for Wealth Creation, Hon. Akinyemi Ajigbotafe, reiterated the need for LASIEC\u2019s impartiality in the upcoming elections. \u201cOur advice to LASIEC is to ensure free and fair elections for the coming chairmanship and general elections. The party is ready to support them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The event concluded on a high note, with a captivating performance by Fuji music icon, Alhaji Alabi Pasuma, leaving the energized crowd motivated for the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
