Epe Insights reports that the delegation, led by the Director-General of THEDSF, Comrade Giwa Moshood Olasupo, popularly known as GMO, formally introduced the group to the revered monarch and outlined its mission of mobilising support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, as the APC’s presidential and governorship candidates.
According to Olasupo, the solidarity group covers the entire Epe Division, including Lekki LCDA, with members committed to delivering electoral support for the APC during the 2027 general elections.
