The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is ramping up preparations for the upcoming Local Government (LG) elections scheduled for July 12th. In a move to ensure a smooth and transparent primary process, the party has announced the formation of a dedicated electoral committee. This committee will be responsible for overseeing all activities leading up to the selection of candidates who will represent the APC in the elections.

  • Electoral Committee Formed: APC constitutes committee for LG election primaries.
  • Leadership: Babatunde Ogala to chair, Babarinde Nurudeen as secretary.
  • Empowerment: Committee to oversee all election-related processes.
  • Call for Support: Party urges cooperation for successful elections.

Key Players in the Electoral Process

The newly formed electoral committee will be headed by Mr. Babatunde Ogala, a former national legal adviser of the APC. His extensive experience within the party is expected to bring a wealth of knowledge and guidance to the electoral process. Supporting him as the Secretary of the committee is Mr. Babarinde Nurudeen.

Responsibilities of the Committee

According to Mr. Seye Oladejo, the APC Spokesman in Lagos State, the committee is fully empowered to manage and supervise all activities and processes involved in the lead-up to the elections. This includes setting guidelines for the primaries, vetting potential candidates, and ensuring a fair and transparent selection process.

Party’s Confidence in the Appointees

Oladejo emphasized the party’s confidence in the committee members, citing their “immense experience” as a key factor in their appointment. The APC leadership believes that Ogala and Nurudeen are well-equipped to handle these crucial assignments and deliver successful outcomes.

A Call for Unity and Cooperation

The APC is calling on all party members and stakeholders to provide the necessary support and cooperation to the electoral committee. The party believes that collective effort and collaboration are essential to ensure the success of the upcoming LG elections.

What’s at Stake in the LG Elections?

Local Government elections are crucial because they directly impact the lives of citizens at the grassroots level. These elections determine who will be responsible for local infrastructure, public services, and community development. A well-functioning local government can address pressing issues such as waste management, road maintenance, and access to basic amenities.

Looking Ahead: What to Expect

In the coming weeks, the electoral committee is expected to release a detailed schedule of activities, including dates for candidate nominations, screening, and primary elections. Political observers anticipate a flurry of activity as aspirants vie for the opportunity to represent the APC in the LG elections. The process is expected to be closely monitored by party members and the general public to ensure fairness and transparency.
