Today, I visited my ward—Ward E3, the Premier Ward—in Adeniji Adele on Lagos Island to re-register my membership with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos Island East LCDA. It was a simple but meaningful act, one that reminded me why politics must always remain personal and rooted in community.
Lagos Island is where much of my journey began. Walking the familiar streets and engaging once again at the LCDA level reinforced an important truth: politics is not just about policies or positions; it is about people. It is about shared history, everyday realities, and the collective effort to improve the place we call home.
During my visit, I had the opportunity to speak with neighbours, party members, and long-time residents. These conversations matter. They ground our aspirations in real experiences and remind us that progress is achieved when we listen, collaborate, and stay committed to one another. The strength of our party—and indeed our democracy—lies in active participation at the grassroots.
If you believe in the vision we have for Lagos, your involvement truly matters. If you are already a member of the APC, I encourage you to take a moment to revalidate your membership and reaffirm your commitment to our shared goals. And if you have been observing from the sidelines, now is a good time to step forward and officially join us. Your voice, ideas, and energy are needed.
Lagos continues to grow and evolve, but its future depends on the choices we make together. When citizens take ownership—of their communities, their party, and their collective future—progress becomes sustainable and inclusive.
Returning to Ward E3 today was both a homecoming and a reminder of responsibility. Lagos moves forward when we all play our part, stay engaged, and work together to build the city we are proud to pass on to the next generation.
