The chairman of Conference 57, Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, the forum of executive chairmen of all 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas in Lagos State, on Tuesday, appealed to Lagos residents to collect their permanent voter cards (PVCs) and exercise their civic responsibility at the 2027 general election.
Olowa who represented the Lagos State deputy governor, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, at a strategic PVC sensitisation and community engagement held in Epe Division, said they would join forces with the Lagos State Baales’ Forum, organisers of the programme to mobilise residents and ensure they vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr Kadri Hamzat and President Bola Tinubu to continue in office because of the achievements recorded so far.
Olowa, on behalf of the chairpersons, donated a luxury bus to the Epe Divisional Baales, saying the vehicle will enhance the administrative logistics of local traditional rulers.
The leaders who spoke at the sensitisation programme urged residents to collect and secure their Permanent Voter Cards, saying that strategic community engagement sessions would help address local development priorities.
In his address at the event, the Convener of the Lagos State Baales Forum, Dr Seyi Bamigbade, commended the presidency for its ongoing support of local leadership structures.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated a profound commitment to the development of our communities across Nigeria,” Bamigbade stated.
He emphasised that strengthening the mobility of traditional rulers directly empowers them to foster peace, unity, and development within their respective domains.
Bamigbade noted that the donation reinforces the Lagos State government’s ongoing alliance with traditional institutions to ensure governance impacts in various parts of the State.
