On Friday in Agege, leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Agege Federal Constituency endorsed former local government chairman, Ganiyu Egunjobi, for the House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement took place during a political gathering held at Capitol Road, where party stakeholders agreed to support his ambition. The motion backing his candidacy was moved by Taofeek Adaranijo, who once represented the constituency in the National Assembly.
Party leaders at the meeting described Egunjobi as a grassroots politician with a record of service during his time as chairman of Agege Local Government. They recalled projects carried out under his leadership, including improvements in infrastructure, support for school transport, and the development of public facilities within the council.
In response, Egunjobi thanked party members for their support and said he would remain focused on the needs of the people if elected. He explained that his decision to contest followed consultations with residents and party stakeholders who encouraged him to step forward.
He also said his approach to lawmaking would involve regular engagement with constituents to understand their needs before taking action. According to him, representation should reflect the interests of the people and not personal gain.
The meeting was attended by several party leaders, current and former officials, community representatives, and supporters, showing strong backing for his ambition as preparations begin for the 2027 elections.
