The Executive Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, has hosted the conference of APC Ward Chairmen representing the 376 wards across Lagos State.
Epe Insights reports that the meeting focused on strengthening grassroots mobilisation, promoting party unity and preparing the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 general elections.
The gathering brought together ward leaders from across Lagos State for discussions on party organisation and effective grassroots engagement.
Olowa welcomed the ward chairmen and appreciated their dedication to the growth and development of the APC across the state.
He commended their continued activities at the grassroots, describing ward leadership as an important component of a strong political structure.
According to the chairman, ward leaders have a major responsibility in connecting the party and government with residents in their communities.
He urged the ward chairmen to remain committed to their mobilisation activities and continue engaging with people at the grassroots.
Olowa also stressed the importance of communicating the achievements and programmes of the APC-led administration to residents.
He said effective communication would enable more people to understand government interventions and their potential benefits to communities.
The Ibeju-Lekki chairman encouraged the ward leaders to intensify their mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 elections.
He called for greater engagement with residents and increased efforts to expand the party’s support base across the state.
Olowa emphasised the importance of bringing more people into the APC fold through sustained grassroots interaction.
He said the ward remains the foundation of any successful political organisation.
According to him, the effectiveness of ward leaders is essential to translating government achievements into stronger grassroots support.
He urged the chairmen to strengthen cooperation among party members and promote unity within their respective wards.
The chairman also highlighted the need for consistent engagement with communities rather than relying solely on election-period activities.
He said regular interaction with residents would help party leaders better understand their concerns and communicate government policies more effectively.
The conference also provided an opportunity for ward chairmen to share experiences and discuss ways of improving grassroots mobilisation.
Such engagements can help strengthen coordination between ward structures and other levels of the party organisation.
Olowa maintained that a well-organised ward structure could contribute significantly to the success of the APC at the local and state levels.
He therefore encouraged the chairmen to continue working closely with party members and community stakeholders.
The chairman further called for greater commitment to grassroots political participation.
He noted that party leaders must remain visible and accessible to residents in order to build trust and strengthen engagement.
The meeting came as political activities and preparations gradually increase ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Olowa said the APC’s grassroots structures must be adequately prepared to support the party’s objectives.
He urged the ward chairmen to remain focused, organised and committed to their responsibilities.
The chairman also commended their previous contributions to the party’s activities across Lagos State.
He said their dedication remains important to maintaining a strong and coordinated political structure.
Olowa’s message centred on mobilisation, unity and effective communication between the party and residents.
He encouraged the chairmen to take ownership of their respective wards and ensure that grassroots structures remain active.
The conference further underscored the strategic importance of ward leadership in political organisation.
Ward chairmen are positioned at the grassroots and often serve as a direct link between party structures and local communities.
Their activities can therefore influence public awareness, political participation and engagement with government programmes.
Olowa urged them to use this position responsibly and constructively.
He also called for teamwork among ward leaders as the party prepares for future political activities.
The chairman expressed confidence that stronger grassroots coordination would improve the APC’s organisational capacity across Lagos State.
He reiterated the importance of maintaining unity and working collectively towards shared political objectives.
The conference provided a platform for the ward chairmen to receive encouragement and reaffirm their commitment to grassroots mobilisation.
It also highlighted the need for sustained engagement with communities across the state’s 376 wards.
Olowa said the party’s strength would continue to depend largely on the effectiveness of its grassroots structures.
He encouraged the ward chairmen to remain active, responsive and committed to their communities.
As preparations for the 2027 elections continue, greater attention is expected to be placed on grassroots mobilisation and party organisation.
The conference therefore represents part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the APC’s ward structures across Lagos State.
Olowa concluded by urging the ward chairmen not to relent in their responsibilities and to continue promoting unity and grassroots engagement.
