Addressing the gathering, Hon. Jimoh delivered a strong mobilisation message, urging party members and supporters to intensify their grassroots engagement, canvassing and mobilisation ahead of the forthcoming elections.

He stressed that electoral victory would not come through complacency or sitting at home but through deliberate efforts, collective commitment, unity and massive mobilisation.

The Apapa Iganmu LCDA Chairman maintained that every party faithful must take ownership of the electoral project by reaching out to voters, convincing undecided supporters and ensuring that eligible voters turn out in large numbers on election day.

However, the defining moment of his remarks was his pledge of a handsome reward for the ward that records the highest number of votes during the election.

The call for unity and an overwhelming electoral victory resonated throughout the event as prominent party leaders delivered goodwill messages.
