Chairmen of Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos West Senatorial District have pledged their support for Senator Idiat Oluranti Adebule ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries. The council leaders made this commitment during a strategic meeting with the senator and party stakeholders in Lagos, where discussions focused on party mobilisation, grassroots coordination, and preparations for the primaries across the district.
Strategic meeting for hitch-free primaries
Speaking after the meeting, Adebule explained that the gathering was organised to strengthen collaboration among party leaders and ensure smooth primaries in all local governments and constituencies within Lagos West. She stated, “The chairmen of the councils are here to discuss with us and strategise towards the primaries. If we have the chairmen and the party ready, giving their support, then they would have done the needful and the necessary to ensure hitch-free primaries in all local governments and constituencies across the West.”
Projects and interventions highlighted
The senator also highlighted the projects and interventions her office has carried out across the senatorial district over the past three years, noting that her office has maintained a visible presence in virtually all councils in Lagos West. “Well, we have done quite a lot of projects so far and the chairmen are familiar with them, just like you heard them say that we have done a lot. We have our presence and our signature in virtually all the local governments. It might be small, but we have a presence in virtually all the local governments. We are not resting now; we are going to continue in that stride to the end of this term. We have just spent three years. In the next one year, by the grace of God, we are going to finish stronger and stronger,” she added.

They described her as accessible and committed to grassroots development. They expressed satisfaction with the level of collaboration between the senator’s office and the councils, assuring her of their continued loyalty and support ahead of the APC primaries.
