Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Surulere Federal Constituency II, Lagos State, have been urged to close ranks and strengthen grassroots engagement ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Member of the House of Representatives representing the constituency, Lanre Okunola, made the call at the party’s monthly strategic meeting held at the Itire-Ikate Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Secretariat, reports The Nation.
Okunola, who chaired the meeting, urged ward chairmen and party members to remain united and focused on the party’s ideals of progressive governance and grassroots development.
He said the party must deepen engagement at the ward level and prevent internal disagreements from affecting its preparations for the elections.
“What we have in Surulere Constituency 2 is a united, formidable and disciplined party. As we move towards the forthcoming elections, we must close ranks, deepen our engagement at the ward level and continue to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda of our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. No internal division should be allowed to affect us. Our victory must be total,” he said.
The meeting also reviewed the party’s activities at the grassroots and discussed ways of improving coordination across the wards.
The Chairman of Itire-Ikate LCDA, Oluwafemi Daniel Odunayo, who hosted the meeting, commended Okunola for what he described as purposeful leadership and effective representation.
Odunayo said Okunola’s facilitation of projects across Coker-Aguda and Itire-Ikate LCDAs was strengthening the party’s credibility among residents.
