The Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government, Hon. Princess Surah O. Animashaun, FHTI, has been appointed Coordinator for Epe Local Government in the Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council.
Epe Insights reports that the appointment places Animashaun in a coordinating role within the party’s campaign structure at the local government level ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The appointment adds a political coordination responsibility to Animashaun’s existing role as Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government.
According to the report announcing the appointment, the development was conveyed through a congratulatory message recognising Animashaun’s public service experience and involvement in Epe.
The message also highlighted her organisational capacity and engagement with residents at the grassroots.
Animashaun’s new role comes as political parties in Lagos State continue to establish campaign structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The APC Lagos State Campaign Council includes coordination arrangements designed to connect the party’s campaign activities with local government areas and local communities.
As Epe Coordinator, Animashaun is expected to operate within the campaign council’s local government coordination framework.
The appointment places Epe Local Government among the areas with designated personnel for coordinating campaign-related activities.
The development also brings together Animashaun’s local government leadership role and her new responsibility within the party’s campaign organisation.
The congratulatory message described the appointment as an opportunity for her to bring her experience to the activities of the Lagos State Campaign Council.
It also referenced her involvement in the affairs and development of Epe as part of the qualities highlighted in connection with the appointment.
The new assignment comes at a period of increased political activity across Lagos State as preparations for the 2027 elections continue.
Political parties are expected to strengthen their structures at various levels as they prepare for electoral activities and voter engagement.
At the local government level, campaign coordinators form part of the organisational structure through which political parties engage communities.
For Epe, Animashaun’s appointment places the council chairman within the APC campaign structure responsible for the local government area.
The role is separate from her statutory responsibilities as Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government.
Her appointment therefore adds a political coordination function to her existing public office.
The campaign council structure is expected to facilitate communication, coordination and mobilisation among party members and stakeholders as election preparations progress.
The reported appointment also reflects the involvement of serving local government officials in the broader political activities of their respective parties.
The congratulatory message wished Animashaun wisdom, strength and effectiveness as she takes on the new responsibility.
It also expressed the hope that she would contribute meaningfully to the coordination and activities of the campaign council.
The development is likely to place greater attention on Epe as political parties organise their structures ahead of the 2027 elections.
However, the campaign role does not alter Animashaun’s position as Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government.
Her responsibilities within the council administration remain distinct from her role in the APC campaign structure.
The appointment also highlights the importance of local-level coordination in political campaign organisations.
Through such structures, parties can organise their activities across local government areas and maintain engagement with grassroots stakeholders.
For Epe residents, the development means their serving council chairman now has an additional role within the APC’s Lagos State campaign organisation.
The campaign council will operate as part of the party’s preparations for the 2027 general elections.
Animashaun’s appointment was accompanied by messages wishing her success in carrying out the new assignment.
The congratulatory message further recognised the experience and organisational capacity attributed to her in relation to the new role.
As political activities continue to develop ahead of 2027, further campaign structures and engagements are expected across Lagos State.
The Epe coordination role will form part of the APC’s wider local government-level campaign organisation.
For now, the appointment marks another development in the political preparations taking place across Lagos State ahead of the next general elections.
Animashaun is expected to balance the new campaign responsibility with her ongoing duties as Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government.
