Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, Dr. Abdul‑Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as JANDOR, has exercised his civic duty by casting his vote today in the ongoing Lagos State Local Government and Councillorship Elections.
At his polling unit 01, Ward D in Irewe kingdom, Ojo Local Government area, JANDOR joined Lagosians participating in the democratic process across the 13,325 polling units in 377 wards for the ongoing elections organised by the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).
Speaking on the exercise, he emphasised the importance of grassroots representation in delivering good governance to citizens.
“Today, I cast my vote not just for the candidates, but for the future of our communities. Local government is the closest government to the people, delivering essential services that impact everyday life,” he said.
Dr. Adediran, who had set up a self-funded Independent Campaign Group in support of all candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election across the 377 wards and 57 Local Government and Local Council Development Areas of the state, encouraged all Lagosians to troop out en masse and vote for the APC candidates. He maintained that voting in local elections helps in holding the grassroots leaders accountable and give voice to the communities.
“This is a call to Lagosians, who are voting whether for the first time or as seasoned voters, that your Permanent Voter’s Card is your tool of influence. Use it today to shape the future of your ward, local government area and our beloved state,” he said.
He commended the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the State Commissioner of Police for their commitment to ensuring a transparent, peaceful, and safe voting environment.
Also voting in the same polling unit with JANDOR were the former Deputy Governor of the State, Princess Sarah Sosan, a former Executive Chairman of Ojo Local Government area of the state, Yinka Durosimi, among other prominent APC leaders.
As the polls progress, Dr. Adediran promises continued support for promoting voter education, peaceful participation, and a peaceful transition of local leadership.
