APC chairmanship aspirant unveils seven points development plan
A socio-cultural organisation for Lagos State indigenes, De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, has filed a suit against the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) over plan to conduct elections in 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), rather than the 20 constitutionally-recognised local councils in the state.

The suit, filed at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, is seeking to stop LASIEC from going ahead with the planned elections, which the Foundation describes as unconstitutional, illegal, and a violation of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

The plaintiff is asking the court to determine whether LASIEC has the legal authority to organise elections in the LCDAs.

The case is expected to come up for a hearing in July.

MEANWHILE, a chairmanship aspirant, under the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Taoheed Taiwo, has unveiled a seven-point agenda aimed at delivering people-focused governance and sustainable development.

Taiwo, who spoke, yesterday, during the flag-off campaign of the party, described his manifesto as “a people-based social contract” designed to touch every life and corner of Ejigbo.

He emphasised that his campaign was rooted in action, not promises, and called on residents to rally behind a vision grounded in inclusion, security, and growth.

Taiwo’s seven cardinal points include improved qualitative healthcare, education development, infrastructure renewal, inclusive empowerment, enhanced security, economic growth, and environmental beautification.

On healthcare, the aspirant, who pledged to establish solar-powered primary health centres and provide accessible health insurance for the elderly and vulnerable, vowed to rehabilitate roads, expand traffic management systems, and install more streetlights for safety and mobility.

He also promised the reconstruction of all public primary schools in the LCDA.

Taiwo pledged to strengthen community policing, improve emergency response, and support local vigilante networks to enhance public safety.

He, therefore, urged residents to spread his message and embrace the opportunity for progress.
