Earlier today, 20th April, 2026, I approved the Constitution of a 2,690-Member Grassroots Committee Ahead of APC Direct Primaries in Lagos.

The committee, strategically structured to reflect the political architecture of Lagos state, draws its membership from all 245 political wards and the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs).

The 2,690-man committee constitute of 10 representatives selected from each of the 245 wards, 10 representatives drawn from each of the 20 LGAs and 40 at the state level. Each 10-member unit at both ward and local government levels comprises of designated agents for my Aspiration as a Gubernatorial hopeful, media and communications personnels, security coordinators, grassroots mobilizers and canvassers.

This structure is designed to ensure operational efficiency, message consistency, and robust voter engagement across all strata of the party. They have the mandate of our campaign group to coordinate ward-level mobilization and stakeholder engagement, drive voter education and participation in the direct primary process, ensure compliance with party guidelines and electoral protocols, and serve as the first line of communication between the campaign and grassroots party members.

This initiative underscores my commitment to a participatory, transparent, and inclusive political process, aligned with the principles of internal democracy as upheld by the APC.

I remain confident that this expansive and well-coordinated grassroots structure will significantly enhance party cohesion and position my aspiration for a credible and successful outing in the forthcoming primaries.
